meiotic study was performed in 11 brassica napus cultivars considering chiasma frequency anddistribution, chromosome pairing, as well as the occurrence of b-chromosomes and their effects on chiasmafrequency. such cytogenetic pairing, along with agronomic characteristics, may be used in planninghybridization among the b. napus cultivars. all the cultivars studied possessed n=19 chromosome number...

introduction crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a viral hemorrhagic fever which transmitted by tick-bites, or through contact with infected animal tissues or secretions during and immediately post-slaughter. it can be responsible for severe outbreaks in humans. case presentation we have explained five patients of a family with (cchf), which acquired the illness at one time. every five pa...

in this study, we considered some competitive learning methods which include hard competitive learning (hcl) and soft competitive learning (scl) with/ without fixed network dimensionality for reliability analysis in microarrays. in order to have a more extensive view, and keeping in mind that competitive learning methods aim at error minimization or entropy maximization (different kinds of func...

the genetic diversity of a large number of pistachio genotypes grown in iran is not exactly known. most of the studies on genetic diversity of iranian pistachio varieties are based on morphological characteristics or isozyme markers. in the present study, the genetic diversity of selected pistachio cultivars along with some wild species were evaluated by amplified fragment length polymorphism (...

in thirty-three wild cherry (prunus avium l.) accessions from central serbia, tree, leaf, fruit, and stone morphological characters were evaluated during three consecutive years. the goal was to detect relationships between the genotypes and to identify the most useful traits for discrimination among them. the study revealed a high variability in the set of the evaluated wild cherry accessions ...

studies of genetic diversity of plant populations are very important tools for plant breeders. in this study, 110 rice genotypes, including 39 iranian local, 20 iranian improved and 51 foreign improved varieties were studied for 14 agronomic traits in the the rectangular lattice design at the rice research institute of iran (rasht). the analysis of variance showed that there were significant di...

the first step in breeding programs is detecting the genetic diversity in breeding materials. molecular markers help to reduce costs and time in breeding programs. genetic variation in 49 genotypes of tobacco were studied using 12 issr markers, 3 retrotransposon markers and the combination of issr and retrotransposons. one hundred forty seven polymorphic bands were produced using 16 primers. to...

since direct experimental evidence is not available, this must be verified through a modeling approach, providedadequate data be available. many statistical methods are used to study the relation between independent anddependent variables.this research was carried out at the western part of jazmurian basin tlocated in the southeast ofiran. in this paperused ten physical characteristics such as ...
