Genetic diversity of five improved varieties (Kaysari, Kadi, Ranger, Mesmir, Sea-River) and seven Iranian landraces (Gharayonje, Amozeynadin, Rahnani, Tazekand, Shazand, Hamedani, Yazdi) of alfalfa were assessed using Esterase (EST), Peroxidase (POX), Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transaminase (GOT) and Malate Dehydrogerase (MDH). GOT and MDH were monomorphic, whereas EST and POX showed polymorphic ba...

Background: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is an important medicinal plant that is a source of diosgenin, trigonelline and other valuable components. Fenugreek seeds is used for its pharmaceutical and nutraceutical properties. Objective: The aim of present study was to investigate the genetic diversity within and between different populations of Trigonella foenum-graecum using DNA ma...

the genetic variation and diversity among fifty-eight polyvoltine silkworm genotypes was estimated by using ten economic traits. the results revealed that the single shell weight showed higher genetic variation such as pcv% (17.20%), gcv% (12.93%), and heritability (56.5%) followed by single cocoon weight, shell ratio and matured larval weight. the d2 (mahalonobis? distance) statistics revealed...

this paper considers the job scheduling problem in virtual manufacturing cells (vmcs) with the goal of minimizing two objectives namely, makespan and total travelling distance. to solve this problem two algorithms are proposed: traditional non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (nsga-ii) and knowledge-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (kbnsga-ii). the difference between these algor...

In the mid-1960s protein electrophoresis revolutionized the study of population genetics and evolution. This technique revealed an extensive amount of genetic polymorphism existing in natural populations and, at the same time, provided a powerful tool to examine the evolutionary relationships of closely related species.1’2 In 1972 I developed a statistical method by which one can measure the ge...

synthetic plants as well as wild crop species are valuable genetic resourses. to determine the genetic variation in triticale, tritipyrum as well as wheat lines, genomic dna of this amphiploid including thinopyrum bessarabicum and durum wheat were amplified using 32 random and 22 semi random primers. primers that could produce clear, polymorphic and repetitive bands are used for determination o...

camel is a resistant species to drought and cold weather and produces milk and meat in harshest environmental condition. camel population in iran has been decreasing during last decades, and genetic studies are quite necessary for considering the conservation and productivity of this species. in this study growth hormone gene influencing growth, milk production and reproduction was considered. ...

fertility rate is an economically important trait in sheep, which is influenced by genetic and environment. so far, three genes have been identified that affects this trait, one of them would be the bmp family, the most famous one is bmp15. different mutations in the bmp15 gene, increases reproductive performance and growth rate in sheep. the aim of this study was to investigate the genetic and...
