different species of streptomyces are common in most types of soil. some certain species are plant pathogenic especially on potato. this study was conducted to evaluate genetic diversity among some local streptomyces spp. strains isolated from soil and infected tubers in potato farms in northwest of iran. repetitive dna elements (box, eric and rep) as genetic markers were used for diversity stu...

conclusions this is the first research in comparing two genetic marker systems in p. variotti. we were prompted to explore polymorphisms utility in p. variotti with a look at using germplasm screening mapping of genome and strain improvement programs. results both systems discriminated 20 isolates of p. variotii successfully but were different in the amount of detectable polymorphism. using clu...

the study of genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships is essential for the efficient selection of superior plant material and conducting introgression breeding programs. in iran, despite the wide geographical distribution of grasses no report is available on the genetic diversity and relationships of cool season grass populations. in this study amplified fragment length polymorphism (af...

diversity of durum wheat (triticum turgidum ssp. durum) germplasm was evaluated using simple sequence repeat (ssr) markers. one hundred and forty durum wheat genotypes of diverse origin (belonging to ten countries) were assessed using 48 selected ssrs with whole genome coverage. a total of 245 allelic variants were detected at 37 polymorphic ssr loci, ranging from two to seventeen per locus wit...

Diversity is the main descriptor of community structure and is a determining factor in the dynamics and function of ecological communities [1]. However, the latter implicitly differs based on the different types of organisms and their relative abundance within the community which is considered to be significant [2]. Research in microbial ecology focuses on the study of microbial community dynam...

Background and objectives: The genus Ephedra (Ephedraceae) consists of about 40 species of mostly shrubs and rarely small trees around the world. In the present study, the essential oil (EO) diversity and genetic relationships were investigated in six Ephedra species from Iran using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Methods: The...
