Field and greenhouse evaluations of 116 wild Arachis spp. genotypes demonstrated the presence of resistance to reproduction of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne arenaria race 1. Resistance in greenhouse tests was based on test lines having </= 2.5% of the number of eggs per gram of roots as did the susceptible A. hypogaea cv. Tamnut 74. In field tests, resistant genotypes were identified on th...

abstract in order to identify the plant parasitic nematodes of cucumber field and greenhouses in jiroft and kahnoj regions, during 2007 and 2008, 45 soil and root samples were collected. in this survey, 13 genus and 16 species were identified. genus ektaphelenchoides and one species of it, e. compsi and aphelenchus isomerus are reported for the first time in iran. the first species was found in...

The genus Saccharum consists of two wild and four cultivated species. Novel interspersed sequences were isolated from cultivated sugar cane S. officinarum. These sequences were accumulated in all four cultivated species and their wild ancestral species S. robustum, but were not detected in the other wild species S. spontaneum and the relative Erianthus arundinaceus. The species-specific accumul...

in order to study the tolerance level of different wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) populations to clodinafop propargyl (topic®), a pot dose response experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications at ferdowsi university of mashhad greenhouse in 2009. cultivared barley (hordeum vulgare) and three wild barley populations (shiraz, boshroyeh, and torogh) were stu...

The genus Carex belongs to tribe Cariceae, subfamily Caricoideae and family Cyperaceae. This genus, with about 2000 species in the world and more than 50 species in Iran, is the largest genus among the family. In expedition to North West and West of Iran, two species, namely, Carex acuta and C. cilicica as new records and C. flava, C. rostrata and C. supina as reinvestigated species are reporte...

Factors such as oxidative stress and reduced acetylcholine level have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology and recently there has been a trend towards natural product research to find potential sources of antioxidants and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in the plants kingdom. Centaurea is a genus with about 500 species world wild, many of them have shown to possess bio...

Wild plant species related to crop plants form an important source of useful traits for fruit quality improvement and biotic abiotic stress tolerance. Wide hybridization involving wild relatives taxa has gained momentum in the recent programs. It breaks barrier gene transfer makes it possible genome one another, which results changes genotypes phenotypes progenies. The incompatibilities or barr...
