abstract

six highly variable microsatellite loci were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the garra rufa in kermanshah and bushehr provinces, iran. all of the 6 microsatellite loci screened in this study showed polymorphism. a total of 90 individual fish from 3 populations were genotyped and 60 alleles were observed in all loci. the number of alleles per locus ranged from 6 to14. the average allelic number of these polymorphic markers was 10. the averages of observed (ho) and expected heterozygosity (he) was 0.529 and 0.826, respectively. the genetic distance values ranged between 0.235-0.570. the upgma dendrogram based on genetic distance resulted in three clusters: gamasiab population alone was classified as one and the other two populations as the second cluster. this study revealed a fairly high level of genetic variation in the microsatellite loci within   the three populations, and identified distinct population groups of garra rufa. this study gains significance for the analysis of the populations’ genetic diversity as well as the management of this important fish resource.

genetic characterization of garra rufa (heckel, 1843) populations in tigris basin, iran using microsatellite markers

the isolation-by-distance theory states that the genetic differentiation between individuals raised by increasing geographic distance. therefore, this study tested this hypothesis for garra rufa , a freshwater fish species of iranian inland waters, from six rivers located at the different distances in tirgis basin. for this purpose, eight variable microsatellite loci were applied to identify ge...

Assessment of Genetic Structure and Variation of Native Berberis Populations of Khorasan Provinces (Iran) Using AFLP Markers Versus Morphological Markers

Seedless barberry (Berberis vulgaris L. var. asperma) is one of the few crops that is only cultivated in eastern parts of Iran. As a new crop there has not been any study to identify phylogenetic relationships of this plant with other related species existing in Iran. In this study, Amplification fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers based on four selected primer combinations (EcoRI/Tru1I...

Mortality of therapeutic fish Garra rufa caused by Aeromonas sobria.

OBJECTIVE To investigate a case of mass mortality of Garra rufa (G. rufa) from a fish hatchery farm in Slovakia. METHODS Causative bacterial agent was swabbing out of affected fish skin area and subsequently identified using commercial test system. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the disk diffusion method. RESULTS Infected G. rufa was characterized by abnormal swimming behaviour...

Habitat effects on morphological variation of Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) populations in Iran

Understanding the processes involved in evolution of organisms is a principal topic that has received much attention from the research community. A common way to achieve this is to study the ecological conditions and morphological relationships of taxa. Fish are widely regarded as notable animal models in studies of environmental influence on morphological features given their high environmenta...
