to identify and characterize bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) genotypes adapted to terminal water deficit conditions, 51 superior hexaploid wheat genotypes together with commercial check cultivars were studied, in a two stages screening practice, for drought tolerance in karaj, kermanshah, isfahan, neishabour and varamin filed stations under terminal water deficit conditions in 2002-2005 grow...

In the present study, RAPD-PCR was used to assess genetic diversity of the rye including landrances and new rye cultivars coming from Central Europe and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (SUN). Five arbitrary random primers were used to determine RAPD polymorphism in the set of 38 rye genotypes. These primers amplified altogether 43 different DNA fragments with an average number of 8.6 fr...

using microsatellite molecular markers is important particularly due to their high accuracy in studying the genome of the fruit trees. in this study, genetic diversity and relations of 68 almond cultivars and genotypes using microsatellite marker (ssr) were studied. genomic dna extracted from young leaf tissues and pcr reactions were performed using 22 selected primers (among 100 primers) of mi...

Prunus rootstocks play an important role in modern horticulture and commercial orchards owing to their responsibility for a wide range of characters from compatibility with cultivars to adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, Thirty Prunus rootstock samples were tested by 25 microsatellite markers in order to identify the genetic identity and relationships among them.17 SSR ma...

Pecan is an important horticultural nut crop originally from North America and now widely cultivated in China for its high ecological, ornamental and economic value. Currently, there are over one hundred cultivars grown in China, including introduced American cultivars and Chinese seedling breeding cultivars. Molecular markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of these cultivars and to ...

lily (lilium l.) is a perennial plant of liliaceae family ranking as one of the three top bulbaceous flowers of floriculture industry due to its large and attractive flowers. susan-e-chelcheragh (lilium ledebourii (baker) boiss.) is the rarest species of the genus naturally occuring only in some limited parts of iran including damash, kalardasht, asalem, kojur, dorfak, ardebil and in one part o...
