specimens of the subfamily milesiinae (diptera: syrphidae) were collected using sweeping net from saqqez region, kordestan province located in the northwestern iran during 2012-2013. in total 25 species in 12 genera were identified. of which eumerus transcaspicus (stackelberg, 1952) is reported for first time from iran. diagnostic characters besides supplementary photos of the new record are pr...

In order to analyze variation and find an efficient selection approach, we used crossing results between two wheat cultivars, Azar2 and 87-Zhong291. F3 plants (374 lines) and four check cultivars planted in the form of augmented experiment. For germination, seeds were irrigated once. After using multiple statistics methods such as cluster analysis, 79 different lines were selected and used for ...

Dianthus caryophyllus L. is an important floricultural crop species throughout the world, specially in Eurasia. The present study was conducted to evaluate the nine Dianthus genotypes, including normal and mutagen treated, to assess the magnitude of variability and to pick up the heritable component of variation present in the quantitative traits. The analysis of variance revealed highly signif...

We combine mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data with non-molecular (morphological and natural history) data to conduct phylogenetic analyses and generate an evolutionary hypothesis for the relationships among nearly every species of Mesoamerican bufonid in the genus Incilius. We collected a total of 5,898 aligned base-pairs (bp) of sequence data from mitochondrial (mtDNA: 12S–16S, cyt b,...

the aim of this note is to characterize the finite groups in which all non-linear irreducible characters have distinct zero entries number.

Each homogeneous space of a quasigroup affords a representation of the BoseMesner algebra of the association scheme given by the action of the multiplication group. The homogeneous space is said to be faithful if the corresponding representation of the Bose-Mesner algebra is faithful. In the group case, this definition agrees with the usual concept of faithfulness for transitive permutation rep...
