The Karyotype of Elymus Mendodnus (Poaceae; Triticeae) from Argentina studied by Banding Techniques

Allopolyploids of the Genus Elymus (Triticeae, Poaceae): a Phylogenetic Perspective

The wheat tribe, Triticeae, includes many genomically distinct polyploid taxa. Elymus is an entirely allopolyploid genus, with all species containing the St genome of Pseudoroegneria. The St genome may be combined with one or more distinct genomes representing multiple, diverse diploid donors from throughout the tribe. This study includes a simultaneous phylogenetic analysis of new and previous...

Characterization of genome in tetraploid StY Elymus (Triticeae: Poaceae) species using Sequential FISH and GISH

Isoenzyme variation and genetic relationships between Elymus repens, E. hispidus and E. ×mucronatus (Triticeae, Poaceae)

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was employed to examine the variation of ten isoenzyme markers in an attempt to assess the systematic and genetic relationships between Elymus repens, E. hispidus and their hybrid E. ×mucronatus. It was found that the hybrid shared most isoenzyme profiles and isoforms of its parents and high genetic affinity among the studied taxa was revealed. The isoe...

Origin and Reticulate Evolutionary Process of Wheatgrass Elymus trachycaulus (Triticeae: Poaceae)

To study origin and evolutionary dynamics of tetraploid Elymus trachycaulus that has been cytologically defined as containing StH genomes, thirteen accessions of E. trachycaulus were analyzed using two low-copy nuclear gene Pepc (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase) and Rpb2 (the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II), and one chloroplast region trnL-trnF (spacer between the tRNA Leu (UAA) ge...

the role of task-based techniques on the acquisition of english language structures by the intermediate efl students

this study examines the effetivenss of task-based activities in helping students learn english language structures for a better communication. initially, a michigan test was administered to the two groups of 52 students majoring in english at the allameh ghotb -e- ravandi university to ensure their homogeneity. the students scores on the grammar part of this test were also regarded as their pre...
