Forty sugarcane genotypes (clones), including elite lines, commercial cultivars of Saccharum officinarum and S. barberi clones, were fingerprinted with 30 RAPD markers, using a PCR-based marker assay. The genetic distance for RAPD data was determined according to Nei, and relationships between accessions were graphed in a dendrogram. Genetic distance values ranging from 16.2 to 86.3% were obser...

This paper revisits past works on tness distance correlation (FDC) in relation to genetic algorithms (GA) performance , and puts forth evidence that this statistical measure is relevant to predict the performance of a GA. We propose an interpretation of Hamming-distance based FDC, which takes into account the GA dynamics and the eeects of crossover operator. We base this proposition on the noti...

In this paper we use the Gray code representation of the genetic code C=00, U=10, G=11 and A=01 (C pairs with G, A pairs with U) to generate a sequence of genetic code-based matrices. In connection with these code-based matrices, we use the Hamming distance to generate a sequence of numerical matrices. We then further investigate the properties of the numerical matrices and show that they are d...

Dog Rose is one of the most important species in Rosaceae family used as a medicinal plant and a rootstock for ornamental roses. This species is native to Iran, therefore, identification of indigenous genotypes of this species is important for genetic preservation or breeding purposes. Genetic diversity estimation of plant materials is one of the important pre-breeding activities in breeding cr...

genetic diversity is one of the three levels of biodiversity. the aim of present study was to compare levels of genetic polymorphism between wild bream populations using seven microsatellite loci. genetic diversity was investigated by studying samples collected from two regions, the coast of chamkhale and bandaranzali of gilan province. a total of seven microsatellite loci (mfw7, mfw26, mcs1eh,...
