چکیده

Seventeen samples of Rhodnius, representing at least eight different species according to their morphological characteristics, were submitted to multilocus isoenzyme electrophoresis, revealing 17 different loci. A phenetic analysis of the enzyme data not only clustered the species in accordance with their geographical origin but also revealed interspecific relationships that differed from those expected from the morphology.

Genetic differentiation and biochemical polymorphism among trichomonads.

Isoenzyme electrophoresis was used to study levels of genetic differentiation among strains and clones of Trichomonas gallinae, Trichomonas vaginalis, Tritrichomonas foetus, Tetratrichomonas gallinarum, and Pentatrichomonas hominis. Strain variation was found within T. gallinae, T. vaginalis, and T. foetus, however, levels of enzyme polymorphism were greater in T. gallinae than in T. vaginalis ...

PHENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE IRANIAN SPECIES OF THE BROMUS SECTIONS GENEA, NEOBROMUS AND NEVSKIELLA

A phenetic analysis of the 12 taxa or operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to the three sections; Genea, Neobromus, and Nevskiella of the genus Bromus was performed. Unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages (UPGMA) and weighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages (WPGMA) clustering and factoriel method analyses were used to set the taxa apart. Forty-four characters...

PHENETIC STUDIES IN AVENA SPECIES AND POPULATIONS OF IRAN

A multivariate statistical analysis was performed on morphological characters of sixty-one populations of Avena eriantha Dur. A. clauda Dur., A. barbata Pott ex Link., A. wiestii Steud., A. fatua L., A. sterilis ssp. ludoviciana L. and A. sativa L. Factor analysis revealed that intraspecific morphological variations are due to quantitative characters. Interspecific as well as intersectional rel...

Quantitative phenetics and taxonomy of some phlebotomine taxa.

Elucidating the evolution of Phlebotominae is important not only to revise their taxonomy, but also to help understand the origin of the genus Leishmania and its relationship with humans. Our study is a phenetic portrayal of this history based on the genetic relationships among some New Word and Old Word taxa. We used both multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and morphometry on 24 male specimens o...
