world apricot (prunus armeniaca l.)  production is increasing steadily due to breeding of new high yielding cultivars in different countries. more recently, breeding programs have been modified according to consumers’ demands and also improvement in resistance to diseases (sharka, monilinia etc.), frost damages, and determination of self-(in) compatibility. in this study, fourteen apricot breed...

Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is one of the most ancient medicinal oil crops in the world. It has been vastly distributed in different parts of Iran. In the present study, the inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate the molecular genetic diversity among and within 12 castor accessions collected from 7 regions of Iran. Totally, 16 ISSR primers amplified 166 loci...

Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity and relationships among Eucommia ulmoides cultivars in China. A total of 240, 192, and 150 DNA fragments were detected by 10 SRAP primer combinations, 10 AFLP primer combinations, and 10 ISSR primers, among whi...

Thirty-seven isolates of Fusarium graminearum species complexobtained from wheat heads with Fusarium head blight symptoms were selected and used for phylogenetic studies. They were collected from different localities of Moghan plain (Ardebil province, Iran). Partial sequences of translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF), putative reductase (RED) and UTP-ammonia ligase (URA) genes were amplifi...

Gypsophila L. is the 3rd-largest genus of Caryophyllaceae in Turkey, a country that includes 60 taxa belonging to 56 species of the 126 recognized in the genus. A total of 35 taxa are endemic to Turkey, with an approximately 60% endemism ratio. In this study, the genetic diversity of 14 Gypsophila species from Turkey was analyzed using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-si...

the kermani sheep is an important meat producing an animal in iran and its economic efficiency is mainly dependent on its growth and reproduction ability. inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) is the genome region between microsatellite loci. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of two different issr markers with predicted breeding values (pbv) of body weight trait in kermani she...

Inferences regarding hybridization rely on genetic markers to differentiate parental taxa from one another. Intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers are based on single-primer PCR reactions where the primer sequence is derived from di- and trinucleotide repeats. These markers have successfully been used to assay genetic variability among cultivated plants, but have not yet been tested in natu...

the flowering and fructification period of the chilean strawberry (fragaria chiloensis (l.) duch.) is restricted to approximately 2 mo, which seriously limits the commercial development of the species. the objective of the current investigation was to identify inter simple sequence repeat (issr) polymorphisms associated with flowering duration in accessions of f. chiloensis. the flowering durat...

Niger plant (Guizotia abyssinica), exhibits phenotypic plasticity in different environments. There is need to assess its genetic diversity since guizotia species has a high number of which may be confused amongst themselves. To achieve this, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used estimate among 12 wild populations from Moiben sub-county. Total genomic DNA was extracted as per the...
