abstract

iris belongs toiridaceae family and it is monocotyledon. iris is one of the important ornamental and medicinal plants. 34 iris genotypes (14 species) collected from different provinces of iran were planted at national institute of ornamental plants (niop) iran. all of the species evaluated for 15 quantitative traits and 30 qualitative traits. results showed that the highest positive correlation was between inner tepal length and width and the lowest of this correlation was between crest length and width. cluster analysis using ward similarity coefficient divided iris species into three clusters. also the highest nei’s genetic distance based on qualitative traits was between i. iberica and i. fosterana and the lowest was between i. germanica and i. paradoxa. the maximum genetic diversity was in khorasan razavi populations, and the minimum was in khorasan (north).  according to shannon index, i. spuria and i. germanica species had the maximum level of genetic diversity. cluster analysis according to qualitative traits by jaccard similarity coefficient and upgma classified the 34 genotypes into four groups. classification of populations based on quantitative traits was not similar to classification based on qualitative traits and they were not similar to geographical distribution.

Genetic Variation Pattern of Iranian Wheat Landraces Based on ISSR Molecular Markers and Morphological Traits

Collection and conservation of germplasm, particularly for landraces of important agronomically species and organizing their information, cause to continuity of their usefulness and reduce the risk of their genetic erosion. In this experiment, 10 Iranian wheat landraces along with the Chinese Spring cultivar, as control, were used to assess inter and intra populations variation by using ISSR mo...

Quantitative-genetic variation in morphological and physiological traits within a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) population

Genetic diversity within populations is an important component of adaptive evolution, and recent research has demonstrated that genetic variation within plant populations can have important ecological effects. In this study, we investigate quantitative-genetic variation in several traits within a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) population. A common garden experiment was planted with ...

Study of genetic variation of some Iranian rice (Oryza sativa) genotypes based on morphological traits, physicochemical properties and molecular markers

Assessment of genetic diversity and individual relationships in rice (Oryza sativa) germplasm collections seems to be necessary for future rice breeding program. In order to understand genetic relationships of 30 rice genotypes, nine morphological traits, seven physicochemical properties and twelve RAPD primers were used for study of 30 rice genotypes. Among morphological traits, numbe...

Multivariate and univariate analysis of genetic variation in Iranian summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) accessions based on morphological traits

In order to evaluate the genetic variation in Iranian summer savory accessions, different accessions were analyzed using multivariate and univariate analysis. Results indicated that there were significant differences in some traits. The mean comparison analysis using least significant difference (LSD) test revealed significant differences among the accessions understudy. In this regard, the hig...

A Cambrian peak in morphological variation within trilobite species.

Morphological variation within species is a raw material subject to natural selection. However, temporal change in morphological diversity has usually been studied in terms of variation among rather than within species. The distribution of polymorphic traits in cladistic character-taxon matrices reveals that the frequency and extent of morphological variation in 982 trilobite species are greate...
