The development of powerful "omics" technologies has enabled researchers to identify many genes of interest for which comprehensive functional analyses are highly desirable. However, the production of lines which ectopically express recombinant genes, or those in which endogenous genes are knocked down via stable transformation, remains a major bottleneck for the association between genetics an...

The union of different genomes in the same nucleus frequently results in hybrid genotypes with improved genome plasticity related to both genome remodeling events and changes in gene expression. Most modern cereal crops are polyploid species. Triticale, synthesized by the cross between wheat and rye, constitutes an excellent model to study polyploidization functional implications. We intend to ...

it is important to identify the genetic diversity and phylogenic relationships for achieving desirable citrus cultivars. in present investigation rapd markers were used to determine genetic diversity among 29 citrus genotypes. from 19 used primers, 248 polymorphic bands were amplified. primers opa-07 and opa-05 (with 19 and 8 amplified bands), produced maximum and minimum polymorphic bands, res...

prediction of superior crosses before their being performed, and an evaluation of the progeny in the field can lead to an increase in the efficiency of hybrid-seed production. a significant number of studies, during recent decades, have proved a positive relationship between heterosis and the genetic distance evaluated through molecular markers. ssr markers were employed to study the relationsh...

in this study genetic diversity of eight iranian sheep breeds including; lori bakhtiari, makuei, moghani, taleshi, shal, zandi, naeini and kalakui was studied by using aflp method. a total of 309 individuals were analysed that produced 121 clear polymorphic bands. the average of heterozygosity within breed (hs) was high and equal to 0.2795± 0.0255. also, the average heterozygosity between breed...

little information is available regarding genetic variation in wild wheat relatives from iran. in this study, genetic diversity of 36 populations of wild einkorn wheat, triticum boeoticum, was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) primer combinations. seventeen aflp primer combinations led to amplify 979 scorable fragments ranging from 50 to 500 bp and of these, 429 (44%) ...

leaf blotch disease of barley, caused by rhynchosporium secalis is a major disease of barley in iran. its worldwide occurrence and economic importance in barley production has motivated studies on the population genetic structure of this pathogen. random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) method was utilized to investigate the genetic diversity of populations of r. secalis isolated from barley le...

A study was undertaken to examine the genetic diversity of 12 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, using 4 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). A total of 10 alleles were found. Allele number per locus ranged from 2 to 4 with an average of 2.5. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.2755 to 0.5411 with an average of 0.3839. The average gene diversity over all SSR loci for ...

the new cereal, primary tritipyrum lines, is an artificial hexaploeid wheat (2n=6x=42, aabbebeb) from crossing between triticum durum (2n=4x=28, aabb) and thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n=2x=14, ebeb) species. in this study the salt tolerant potencial of new primary tritipyrum lines for nacl (0, 100, 200 mm) in an hydroponic experiment was studied in a completely randomized split plot design with th...
