Cellular manufacturing (CM) has acquired an upward interest of researchers in recent era. The most important problem in designing cellular manufacturing systems is the cell formation (CF), which constructs part families with similar processing requirements and designates machines into machine cells to optimize the production process. This article presents a short research report based on hybrid...

First line in abstract should be Date palm is an important fruit crop of the arid and semiarid region. In the present investigation two types of DNA based marker RAPD and ISSR were used to characterize 8 date palm genotypes grown in the Kutch region. Amplification of genomic DNA of 8 genotypes using 13 RAPD analyses yielded 88 fragments, of which 35 were polymorphic, with an average of 2.69 pol...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intra-species hybridization and incompletely homogenized ribosomal RNA repeat units have earlier been reported in 21 accessions of Vigna unguiculata from six subspecies using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5S intergenic spacer (IGS) analyses. However, the relationships among these accessions were not clear from these analyses. We therefore assessed intra-species hybri...

In this paper, we introduce the HashRF(p, q) algorithm for computing RF matrices of large binary, evolutionary tree collections. The novelty of our algorithm is that it can be used to compute arbitrarilysized (p × q) RF matrices without running into physical memory limitations. In this paper, we explore the performance of our HashRF(p, q) approach on 20,000 and 33,306 biological trees of 150 ta...

Three Malaysian ginger cultivars (Bukit Tinggi, Tanjung Sepat and Sabah) were collected and examined for genetic polymorphisms using microsatellite DNA primers. The single microsatellite oligonucleotide primers (CATA)5, (GATA)5 and (GAC)6 were used in polymerase chain reactions (PCRs). These PCR reactions produced 7 polymorphic bands with an average of 2.334 polymorphic bands per primer, leadin...

to study of genetic diversity of rapeseed genotypes using multivariate methods under normal and drought stress conditions, 16 genotypes were evaluated using a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in razi university in 2007-08 cropping season. factor analysis under normal condition showed that nine factors explained 89.05 percentage of total data variation, and under drought...

trifolium species and cultivars are considered important forage crops iran , growing throughout the country. the present article considered the karyotypic details of trvulim taxa using multivariate statistical analysis. taxa studied included: trifolim restylinatum (six populations: shazand, soriyan, kordestan, harati, enaj and lordegan), t. repense, t, fragverm, t. prateme and t, alexandrinm. s...

Durian (Durio spp.) is a germplasm with relatively high species diversity, an estimated 27 worldwide. However, the existence of several has been threatened. This study aimed to reconstruct DNA barcode durian and its relatives analyze genetic diversity relationship based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Sixteen sequences durians ITS were collected from GenBank (NCBI) analyzed in sili...

Genetic diversity and identification of fumonisin-producing isolates of Fusarium verticillioides from two provinces in the Philippines were analyzed using molecular techniques. Using a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based technique, 49 of the 54 isolates were identified as F. verticillioides, with an amplified product of 800 bp using VERT-1 and VERT-2 primers. Of these, VERTF-1/VERTF-2 primers...
