There is an ample genetic diversity of plants with medicinal importance around the globe and this pool of genetic variation serves as the base for selection as well as for plant improvement. Thus, identification, characterization and documentation of the gene pool of medicinal plants are essential for this purpose. Genomic information of many a medicinal plant species has increased rapidly sinc...

genetic diversity is one of principle factors to succeed in breeding programs, so its determination is vital in the using of plant genetic resources. with the aim of evaluation of genetic diversity among safflower landraces, 20 lines (14 iranian and 6 foreign lines) were studied for phenotypic and genotypic variations using agro-morphological traits and rapd markers. field study was conducted i...

sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty THE INTERNATIONAL PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES INSTITUTE IFPRI and IPGRI are international food and environmental research organizations principally funded by governments, private foundations, and regional and international organizations, most of which are members of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). IFPRI was e...

The Research Institute for Plant Genetic Resources is the national center global genetic resources of cultivated plants and their wild relatives, which are preserved in form collections status, represented by seeds, vegetative reproductive organs parts plants, herbarium specimens, as well plantations perennial crops. Collections numbering more than 43 thousand accessions concentrated here over ...

Zoophytophagous predators can substitute zoophagy for phytophagy to complete their development and reproduction. In such predators, variation in feeding behaviour is observed both across and within populations. This may be caused by genetic variation in diet specialization, some genotypes specializing on plant resources, whereas others rely mostly on prey to meet their energy and nutriment requ...

this study was conducted in order to sustainable conservation and utilization of trifolium genetic resources. a total of 1333 accessions of trifolium under 32 species from 27 provinces were collected according to ipgri descriptors. collected germplasms are conserved in mid- and long-term conservation at national plant gene bank of iran. statistical parameters of tendency to center and dispersio...
