In an ongoing research, 24 cultivated and wild cultivars of barley were evaluated for morphological characteristics of grain, pollen, and stomata. Traits of interest included length, width, and area. Results of variance analysis showed that all samples were differed in traits of stomata, grain, and pollen at probability levels of 1 and 5%, suggesting remarkable genetic variation among studied s...

Comparing different methods of estimating the genetic diversity could define their usefulness in plant breeding programs. In this study, a total of 18 morphological traits and 20 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were used to study the morphological and genetic diversity among 20 maize hybrids selected from different countries, and to classify the hybrids into groups based on molecular profiles...

a glasshouse experiment was conducted in universiti putra malaysia (upm) to evaluate the regeneration and yield potential in purslane using both seeds and stem cuttings of 20 collected accessions from different locations in western peninsular malaysia. analysis results revealed significant variations (p< 0.05) for morphological traits viz., plant height, number of main branches, number of nodes...

seedless barberry (berberis vulgaris l. var. asperma) is one of the few crops that is only cultivated in eastern parts of iran. as a new crop there has not been any study to identify phylogenetic relationships of this plant with other related species existing in iran. in this study, amplification fragment length polymorphism (aflp) markers based on four selected primer combinations (ecori/tru1i...

knowledge about genetic diversity is an essential step towards conservation of genetic resources and developing further strategies for plant improvement. the objective of this research was to evaluate the agronomical and morphological traits and determine the level of variation within wild barley ecotypes especially for acclimation traits. in this study 188 ecotypes of wild barley (hordeumspont...

In order to compare the efficiency of morphological traits and molecular markers in distinguishing the Consolida species, molecular analysis using nrDNA ITS and cpDNA trnL-trnF with maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods were done in a total of 34 species and forma representing 28 species of Consolida, 6 species of Aconitella, plus two species of Delphinium and two species of Aconitum as out gr...

the association between 140 microsatellite bands of 20 primer pairs and 13 quantitative traits recorded on 70 aegilops crassa from iran was evaluated. pearson’s coefficients showed significant correlations between some morphological traits. polymorphic information contents (pic) of loci were in the range of 0/16 (xgwm190) to 0/44 (xgwm161). the result of multiple regression analysis showed sign...

The wild mint "Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson subsp. noeana (Briq.) Briq." is an important medicinal plant which contains several worthy components like: menthone, pulegone, pipertenon, menthol, thymol, and carvone in its essential oil. This plant grows extensively in center of Asia including Iran. Because of so worthy components and its big role in traditional and modern medicine, the wild mint...
