چکیده
D 1: Tom Kubisiak of the U.S. Forest Service’s Sot&em Institute of Forest Genetics and Dr. Robert Bernatzky of the University of Massachusetts have been usin8 molecdargenetic markeu to pinpoint hotspots of American chestnutgenetic diversity. Utin. samples collected on a rot.&Ly 135-milegrid coverin. the entire range of the tree, the two researchers are analyzing cheztnut DNA to assess overall Levels of diversity and to map out the sources of thegreatestdenetic variation. Thispapergratr out of an analysis of a sample from a Maine chestnut conducted aspan of that study.

Investigating genetic diversity in plant species provides a platform for further insight in plant breeding and conservation. Therefore, in the present study genetic diversity of 13 geographically isolated genotypes of Zhumeria majdea, as a seriously endangered medicine plant growing exclusively in Hormozgan province (South of Iran) was studied. To do so, the leaf samples of Z. majdea were colle...
متن کاملIdentification of Genetic Variation of Male and Female Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Cultivars Using Morphological and Molecular Markers
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a monocot, dioecious and high longevity tropical plant greatly considered due to its high economic importance in Middle East. This investigation was carried out to detect genetic relations among 34 cultivars of Iranian date palm, both males and females, using ISSR markers. Accordingly, total DNA was extracted using CTAB method and was subjected to PCR ampli...

P rior to the blight epidemic, American chestnut (Castanea dentata Borkh.) was one of the most important timber and nut-producing tree species in eastern North America (U.S. Census Bureau 1908). Its native range extended from southern Maine and Ontario in the north to Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi in the south (Sargent 1905). It now exists primarily as stump sprouts across its entire native ...

Acipenser stellatus (stellate sturgeon) represents a sturgeon species of great importance for the scientific community and fishermen that has been intensively captured for decades. Besides of overfishing and poaching, their reproduction sites have been destroyed and their natural habitats were affected by pollution. In consequence, wild populations of stellate sturgeon have decreased dramatical...
