introduction: the early blight of tomato caused by alternaria alternata is one of the most important and destructive diseases in khuzestan province. study genetic structure of a. alternata populations provides different levels of information in the management of early blight disease in tomato farms. short sequence repeat (ssr) markers were used to determine the genetic structure and estimate ge...

pomegranate is an importantly popular fruit crop with iran the main center of its diversity throghout the world. the richest pomegranate genetic resources believed to exist in iran. the present investigation was carried out to study the genetic diversity of 15 genotypes of pomegranate in tarume zanjan making use of rapd markers. genomic dna was extracted from the plant,s leaf, and tested for th...

Estimation of genetic diversity is an important factor in germplasm conservation and characterization. In rice breeding programs, genetic diversity information on specific regions of genome can be very useful for the application of marker assisted selection (MAS) and for gene mapping. A total of 152 rice lines were considered for breeding programs using microsatellites (SSR) technique. The tota...

beet western yellows virus (bwyv), a species of the genus polerovirus in the family luteoviridae, is an agriculturally important virus infecting over 150 plant species in 23 dicotyledonous families worldwide. a survey of bwyv in canola fields in golestan and tehran provinces of iran using indirect triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (tas-elisa) indicated 8.3 % infection. ...
