Diversity of Finger Patterns in Iranian Populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Six Iranian populations have been analyzed for finger patterns, utilizing bilateral prints of 720 individuals. Bimanual and sex differences were frequently insignificant and non-significant. Interpopulational variation showed significant hetererogeneity among the populations studied. Distance analysis and constructed dendrograms, based on these six populations and other thirteen Iranian populations, provided separation between the populations for finger patterns, and the dendrograms were only in agreement with the ethnohistoric records of the populations studied for combined sexes but not for males or females. Therefore, finger patterns are good measures of population distance and the relationships of populations one to another.

Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Some Iranian Populations of Bunium persicum Using RAPD and AFLP Markers
The genetic diversity of 20 Iranian populations of Bunium persicum has been evaluated with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Fresh leaves of seedlings from each population were used for genomic DNA extraction. Analysis of banding patterns of 15 RAPD primers and 17 AFLP primer combinations, revealed 192 (86%) and 228 (75%) polymorp...

Recognition of genetic reserves and desirable genes is the basis of breeding programs. So far, in Iran, due to the lack of recognition of genetic resources, a considerable breeding program has not been done on native plants. The study of the genetic diversity of violets as a native plant with ornamental and medicinal uses is the great importance in advancing the breeding goals of this plant. So...
