iran is a part of the secondary centre of origin of melons, and therefore, there is a wealth of genetic variation of these species in this country. the amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) marker was applied to investigate the genetic variations among five major iranian melon cultigens (cucumis melo) and ‘ananasi’ as a general well-known cultivar. ten primer pairs were used on 90 indiv...

AFLP is a novel high resolution fingerprinting method that can be used to delineate intraspecific relationships among a large variety of organisms, including bacteria. In the present study, this method was tested for its usefulness in the epidemiological typing of Acinetobacter strains. A total of 25 Acinetobacter strains originating from five hospital outbreaks in three countries were used. Is...

We compared two methods to generate polymorphic markers to investigate the population genetics of Trypanosoma evansi; random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses. AFLP accessed many more polymorphisms than RAPD. Cluster analysis of the AFLP data showed that 12 T.evansi isolates were very similar ('type A') whereas 2 isolates dif...
