background: trichomonas vaginalis is protozoan parasite responsible for trichomoniasis and is more common in high-risk behavior group such as prostitute individuals. interest in trichomoni­asis is due to increase one's susceptibility to viruses such as herpes, human papillomavirus and hiv. the aim of this study was to find genotypic differences between the isolates. methods: forty isolates from...

Alfalfa is an autotetraploid, allogamous and heterozygous forage legume, whose varieties are synthetic populations. Due to the complex nature of the species, information about genetic diversity of germplasm used in any alfalfa breeding program is most beneficial. The genetic diversity of five alfalfa varieties, involved in progeny tests at Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, was characteriz...

Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in Iran; hybridization is a means to increase the genetic diversity and obtain new elite cultivars in this crop. We examined agronomic characteristics and molecular genetic diversity in the Opal cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar and in F(2) progenies. Ten homo-primers and seven hetero-primers of 26 RAPD primers produced 261 reproduc...

background: infestation of the skin by the “itch mite” sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis results in a contagious skin infection in humans called “sca-bies”. by resolving morphology issues, the present study was designed to be acquainted with itch mite by molecular markers. methods: the mite samples were collected from scabies patients by visiting government hospitals of twin city, pakistan. for su...

garlic (allium sativum .l) has been and is clonally propagated, because it does not produce seed under standard conditions. knowledge of plant recourses genetic diversity can be a first and most important step in achieving breeding program purposes. because of its high accuracy and reproducibility among different genetic diversity assessment techniques amplified fragment length polymorphism (af...

In this study, Pseudomonas syringe pathovars isolated from olive, tomato and bean were identified by species-specific PCR and their genetic diversity was assessed by repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP)-PCR. Reverse universal primers for REP-PCR were designed by using the bases of A, T, G or C at the positions of 1, 4 and 11 to identify additional polymorphism in the banding patterns. Bindin...

hydatidosis is a disease caused by infection with the metacestode stage of the dog tapeworm,echinococcus granulosus. this is recognised as one of the world’s most important zoonoses, affecting bothhumans and their domestic animals. in the current study, 20 sheep cystic livers or lungs were collected.hydatid fluid and protoscolices were isolated and the soluble protein was prepared. polypeptide ...

Urtica dioica is an important medicinal plant which is widely distributed in Mazandaran province (North of Iran). In this study for the first time Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) and Inter-simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers were used for detection of genetic polymorphism in Mazandaran nettle. Ten AFLP primer combinations and seventeen ISSR markers were utilized. AFLP produced 830...
