to investigate the relationship between different traits, discover factors affecting this relationship and to identify components of seed yield in cultivated and wild safflower genotypes, this investigation was conducted at isfahan university of technology research farm under two different water regimes during 2008. significant differences were observed between genotypes belonged to the two spe...

As natural hosts for avian influenza virus (AIV), wild birds, particularly aquatic birds, are the primary reservoir for transmission of AIV to domestic poultry. Therefore, understanding the dissemination and maintenance of AIV in wild birds is important for understanding the factors that contribute to transmission of AIV from wild birds to poultry. However, relatively little is known about the ...

The two independent domestication events in the genus Oryza that led to African and Asian rice offer an extremely useful system for studying the genetic basis of parallel evolution. This system is also characterized by parallel de-domestication events, with two genetically distinct weedy rice biotypes in the US derived from the Asian domesticate. One important trait that has been altered by ric...

Until recently, the reptile fauna of Christmas Island in Indian Ocean comprised five endemic species (two skinks, two geckos, and one snake) native, non-endemic skink. Four these were common widespread until at least 1979, but by 2012 had disappeared from wild. During years decline, little research was undertaken to examine why disappearing. Here, we use a retrospective expert elicitation rank ...

The importance of wild barley from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the origin and domestication of cultivated barley has long been underestimated. Population-based phylogenetic analyses were performed to study the origin and genetic diversity of Chinese domesticated barley, and address the possibility that the Tibetan region in China was an independent center of barley domestication. Wild barley (Hord...

In this study, the karyo-systematic studies on the Iranian wild almond species A .communis L., A. corduchoruom Bornm., A. trichamygdalus woronow, Amygdalus lycioides Var. horrida Spach were done by the karyological methods. The meristem cells of the root tip were used for these studies. In each species, ten suitable metaphase plates were chosen and photographed so that the morphology of the chr...
