using microsatellite molecular markers is important particularly due to their high accuracy in studying the genome of the fruit trees. in this study, genetic diversity and relations of 68 almond cultivars and genotypes using microsatellite marker (ssr) were studied. genomic dna extracted from young leaf tissues and pcr reactions were performed using 22 selected primers (among 100 primers) of mi...

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...

Using Framingham Heart Study (FHS) data (accession no. phs000153.v7.p6), Christakis and Fowler (2014) showed that friends had more extended genetic correlation than strangers had. This finding may suggest that friends are “functional kin.” Depending on the context, functional kin may have high genetic similarity (homophilic) if people have similar functional kin as friends; conversely, function...

alder (alnus subcordata subsp. subcordata) is one of the most important tree species in northern forests of iran and is economically considered as the fourth commercial tree. a leaf spot disease of alder caused by xanthomonas sp. has been reported from several forest regions of mazandaran province (rahimian et al. 1383. 16th iran. plant protec. cong., 439). according to a recent genomic study, ...

this investigation was conducted to compare the genetic variation of alfalfa syn0 vs syn1 and ghara yonja (parental cultivar) using seed storage proteins. results of electrophoresis sds-page in seed storage protein, indicated that there are no significant differences between the means of distance intra-population obtained for syn0 and ghara yonja (0.274 ± 0.0045, 0.270 ± 0.0081, respectively) a...

We define a genetic similarity rule that predicts how genetic variation in a dominant plant affects the structure of an arthropod community. This rule applies to hybridizing cottonwood species where plant genetic variation determines plant-animal interactions and structures a dependent community of leaf-modifying arthropods. Because the associated arthropod community is expected to respond to i...

Genetic resources are the most valuable national treasure of countries, being vital to identify, conserve and use them. The Persian Walnut (Juglans regiaL.), a diploid species native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, is the major walnut species cultivated for nut production and one of the most widespread tree nut species in the world. This research was conducted in M...
