Rice as one of the most important agricultural crops has a putative potential for ensuring food security and addressing poverty in the world. In the present study, in order to provide basic information to improve rice through breeding programs, Inter Simple Sequence Repeat marker (ISSR) was used For DNA fingerprinting and finding genetic relationships among 32 different cultivars. In this study...

Multivariate statistical techniques such as principal components analysis (PCA) and multidimensional scaling (MDS) have been widely used to summarize the structure of human genetic variation, often in easily visualized two-dimensional maps. Many recent studies have reported similarity between geographic maps of population locations and MDS or PCA maps of genetic variation inferred from single-n...

of high-quality vegetable and industrial oil. 9 RAPD primers, 6 AFLP primer combinations and 12 agro-morphological traits were used to assess the genetic diversity of 20 accessions of saf flower representing global germplasm variability. Jacquards’ similarity coef ficient were used to understanding the genetic relationships among ccessions, for AFLP and RAPD markers and Euclidian similarity coe...

Precise investigation of genetic diversity by means of novel molecular tools has made it possible to identify the superior genotypes among various male and female pistachio populations. Cytogenetic studies have shed light on the possible presence of distinct sex chromosomes in male and female genotypes. In this study, 22 start codon targeted (SCoT) primers were used to investigate the genetic d...

background: traditionally, morphological features of rhipicephalus (boophilus) annulatus from closely-related ticks have been considered for their identification and differentiation. however, it is difficult and requires expertise in order to accurately identify and differentiate engorged female ticks and some developmental stages such as larva and nymph from other similar ticks. hence, molecul...

root rot caused by fusarium verticillioides is one of the most important rice diseases in ilam. in order to determine genetic diversity, 56 samples were collected from rice paddies of different regions in ilam province. molecular test was carried out with a set of five pairs of ssr primers after purification and identification of isolates. the ssr primers amplified a total 26 alleles. the avera...
