the objective of the present study was to evaluate the genetic structure and diversity of 16 generations of native fowls of west azerbaijan province, iran using the pedigree data collected between 1994 and 2012. inbreeding coefficient (f), pedigree completeness index (pci), parameters of the probability of gene origin and other parameters related to the genetic structure were estimated using th...

background genetic diversity has provided plasmodium falciparum with the potential capacity of avoiding the immune response, and possibly supported the natural selection of drug or vaccine-resistant parasites. merozoite surface protein-3 (msp-3) has been used to develop vaccines and investigate the genetic diversity regarding p. falciparum malaria in iran. objectives the main goal of this study...

Mutation induction is considered as an effective way to enrich plant genetic variation, particularly for traits with a very low level of genetic variation. This research was conducted to assess genetic variation induced by gamma radiation in M2 and M3 mutant lines of canola (Brassica napus L.) by SSR and morphological characteristics and to identify useful mutants in terms of agronomic traits. ...

Nuclear simple sequence repeats (nSSRs), together with 16 different enzyme loci, were used to analyzegenetic diversity and differentiation among beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) populations along two altitudinalgradients in Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Both enzymes and nSSR analyses revealed a high level ofgenetic diversity in natural populations of F. orientalis. The genetic div...
