چکیده

How adaptive traits that are controlled by multiple genes evolve is an intriguing question in evolutionary genetics. A recent study shows that tight linkage allows genes that contribute to a multitrait pollination syndrome to be inherited together as a unit.

New Insights on Heterostyly: Comparative Biology, Ecology and Genetics

Here, we review recent progress on the evolutionary history, functional ecology, genetics and molecular biology of heterostyly using a variety of taxa to illustrate advances in understanding. Distyly and tristyly represent remarkable examples of convergent evolution and are represented in at least 28 flowering plant families. The floral polymorphisms promote disassortative mating and are mainta...

Study of Patterns of Inheritance in Affected Patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa in Iranian Populations

Background and Aims: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common form of inherited retinal degeneration, photoreceptors loss of which in the retina causes visual loss. The purpose of the present study was to determine patterns of inheritance in RP patients in Yazd to help the health professional for designing suitable laboratory testing for the high risk families.

Study on KAL1 Gene Mutations in Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Patients with X-Linked Recessive Inheritance

Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a condition caused by low doses of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) leading to absence or incomplete sexual maturation. One of the disorders leading to IHH is Kallmann syndrome which is characterized by GnRH deficiency with anosmia or hyposmia. This disorder generally occurs as a hereditary syndrome with X-linked recessive inhe...

A population of offspring from a cross between ‘Golden Smoothee’ × ‘Shafi Abadi’ apple which was developed by two methods of controlled pollination (with and without covering after controlled pollination) was used to investigate the inheritance of microsatellite alleles and the necessity of covering in controlled pollination of apple. DNA was extracted from 60 seedlings (30 from each method) as...

Inheritance and variation of lint yield and fiber traits in a partially introgressed (Gossypiumbarbadense L. × G. hirsutum L.) population of cotton

The objective of this study was to evaluate a partially introgressed (Gossypiumbarbadense L. × G. hirsutum L.) population of cotton for two years. The traits that studied were lint yield per plant, lint %, fiber length, fiber strength and micronaire. A total of 31 cytogenetically stable lines (2n=4x=52) were produced from a cross between a G. barbadense line, Carnak and a G. hirsutumline, 4S,...
