Field crop landraces are valuable genetic sources. Twenty populations of Persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum L.) collected from different areas of Iran were used in this study. DNA extractions were carried out using minipreparation method with equal amount of leaves from 30 plants of each population. DNA samples from 20 clover populations were evaluated using semi-random (ISJ) markers. Ten pr...

The eight SSR′s and 15 RAPD′s primers were used to investigate of genetic diversity and relationship between 20 winter rapeseed genotype. Totally 164 bands were detected from Which 154 were polymorphic. The RAPD primers namely Oligo-670 with 16 bands showed the highest number of detected bands. The mount of Nei′s, Shanon and PIC index for Na12-B02, Ni4-B03, OL10-G04, Oligo-543 and Oligo-670 ind...
