The genus Salicornia (Amaranthaceae) was established by Linnaeus. Commonly known as ‘glassworts’, the species of are articulated succulent herbs with cortical palisade, opposite decussate scale-leaves, thyrsoid cymes, flowers packed in cauline depressions and diaspore composed l-seeded utricle. Therefore, due to importance plant species, we performed a combination morphological molecular data a...

Genetic diversity of 12 lemon balm ecotypes was evaluated using agronomic traits as well as ISSR and RAPD markers. Results of analysis of variance showed high diversity among the studied ecotypes. Cluster analysis using UPGMA method grouped the ecotypes into three different groups based on the agronomic traits. Twelve ISSR primers created 106 polymorphic bands among the studied ecotypes. An ISS...

Background: The length of GT-repeats polymorphic region in the promoter of human Heme oxygenase-1 gene (HO-1) alters the level of its transcriptional activity in response to oxidative stresses. Decreased level of HO-1 protein in the seminal plasma has been reported to be associated with oligospermia and azoospermia in male infertility. This is the first study to investigate the association betw...

genetic diversity relationships of 50 isolates of cytospora schulzeri on apple from different parts of the semirom region were analyzed using 15 polymerase chain reaction (pcr) based markers, 7 random amplified polymorphic dnas (rapds) and 8 microsatellite primed polymerase chain reaction (mp-pcr). using 7 selected rapd primers 113 bands were generated, of which 81 bands were polymorphic (71.7%...

introduction: human leukocyte antigen (hla) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome. they predict the outcome of transplantation by detecting self from non-self antigens. the best use of hla typing is to find a hla-match donor for bmt candidate patients. evidence suggests that matching unrelated donors and recipients for hla-a, -b and -drb1 loci is a prediction for an improved o...

We developed nine new nuclear dinucleotide microsatellite loci for Castor canadensis. All loci were polymorphic, except for one. The number of alleles ranged from two to four and from five to 12 in populations from Arizona and Wisconsin, respectively. Average heterozygosity ranged from 0.13 to 0.86 per locus. Since cross-species amplification in Castor fiber was successful only in four loci, we...
