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...

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...

having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. in present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and rapd markers. significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...

in this research work, genetic diversity of 21 wild persian shallot (allium hirtifolium boiss.) accessions from south, southwest, west and center of iran was evaluated using morphological traits as well as aflp markers. results showed that khansar accession had the highest leaf width (5.42 cm), mean leaf number per plant (5.41), bulb diameter (10.84 cm), bulb height (4.95 cm) and mean bulb weig...

Objective(s)Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a severe connective tissue disorder withan autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Early diagnosis is critical in MFS. Because of the large size of fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1), the uniqueness of mutations, and the absence of genotype-to-phenotype correlations linkage analysis can be very helpful for early diagnosis of MFS. In this study, eight polymorphic marker...

abstract soybean (glycine max) is an important crop plant which contains a high amount of oil and protein. to evaluate the genetic diversity of 45 soybean genotypes growing in iran, two types of molecular markers (rapd and isj) were used. two sets of different primers were used to compare potential differentiation power of it (intron targeting) and et (exon targeting) primers. data obtained fro...

the flowering and fructification period of the chilean strawberry (fragaria chiloensis (l.) duch.) is restricted to approximately 2 mo, which seriously limits the commercial development of the species. the objective of the current investigation was to identify inter simple sequence repeat (issr) polymorphisms associated with flowering duration in accessions of f. chiloensis. the flowering durat...

Background: Heterogeneous mutations in the human coagulation factor IX gene lead to an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder known as hemophilia B. The disease is distributed worldwide with no ethnic or geographical priority. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to characterize the factor IX gene mutations in 28 unrelated Iranian hemophilia B patients. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
