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, of whic...

alfalfa is the best known fodder crop with high ability of biological nitrogen fixation and drought tolerance in dry, pannonian region of east austria. different morphological and physiological characteristics of 18 alfalfa genotypes from different geographical origins, 8 iranian ecotypes and 10 european cultivars were evaluated under irrigated and rainfed conditions during 2006-08 cropping sea...

This paper aims to present a new genetic approach that uses rank distance for solving two known NP-hard problems, and to compare rank distance with other distance measures for strings. The two NP-hard problems we are trying to solve are closest string and closest substring. For each problem we build a genetic algorithm and we describe the genetic operations involved. Both genetic algorithms use...

In the present study we evaluated the amount and distribution of genetic variation by using RAPD marker variation of 12 markers loci in three broodstock groups of rainbow trout. A total of 47 polymorphic bands were observed in Iranian strain, average number of bands was 10 and average number of polymorphic bands per primer was 3.92. The total detected bands in rainbow trout strain originated fr...

Six highly variable microsatellite loci were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the Garra rufa in Kermanshah and Bushehr provinces, Iran. All of the 6 microsatellite loci screened in this study showed polymorphism. A total of 90 individual fish from 3 populations were genotyped and 60 alleles were observed in all loci. The number of alleles per locus ranged fr...
