This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of SCoT and DAMD molecular markers in genetic diversity  of three moss species and compare them with ISSR marker. Another objective was to evaluate the suitability of these DNA markers in species identification (delimitation) in three moss species, including Neckera complanata, Homalothecium sericeum and Neckera cris...

introduction and aims: do h. pylori isolates from normal and dyspeptic patients have similar genetic profiles? since genotype variation occurs within h. pylori population with high frequency, it is tempting to exploit techniques such as rapd-pcr to examine the possible correlation between specific h. pylori genotypes and different peptic diseases. in this study, h. pylori isolates from differen...

helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) plays an important role in the development of peptic and duodenal ulcerations as well as gastric cancer. several studies have shown a strong association between specific genotypes of h. pylori and gastrointestinal tract diseases. the vaca and caga genes, which are the putative virulence factors of the bacterium, are important determinants of h. pylori-related dis...

abstract genetic diversity of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) populations in iran was evaluated using morphological, agronomical and phonological characteristics and compared with three cultivars from germany, hungary and iran. in this experiment, statistical design of rcbd with three replications was used, sixteen quantitative traits were measured such as yield, flower number per p...

the aim of this study was to access the genetic differentiation of paraschistura sp. in kheirabad and brim rivers (zohreh river system, persian gulf basin), iran. for this purpose, 60 samples including 30 male and 30 female samples from each river were collected. a total of six microsatellite loci (bbar4, bbar7, ic228, ic230, ic434 and ic720) were used and all of them showed high polymorphism (...

the citrus leafminer, phyllocnistis citrella stainton (lepidoptera: gracillariidae) is a major invasive pest of citrus in tunisia. in order to help the implementation of an efficient integrated management strategy, it was essential to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of the pest. for this purpose, random-amplified polymorphic dna-polymerase chain reaction (rapd-pcr) was app...

chamomile (matricaria chamomilla), an important medicinal plant belonging to the asteraceae family,has a wide distribution in iran and other parts of the world. the medicinal and pharmacological effects ofchamomile are mainly associated with its essential oil content and it is widely used in food, cosmetics andpharmaceutical industries. despite its wide geographical distribution in iran, little...
