abstract seedless barberry (berberis vulgaris l. var. asperma) is one of the few crops that is cultured only in iran and southern parts of khorasan provinces. the origin of this variety is unknown and there has not been any study aiming to identify phylogenic relationships of this plant with other species existing in iran. in this study, aflp markers based on four primer combinations (ecori/tru...

fifteen microsatellite markers were employed to evaluate genetic relationships among different iranian species of crocus spp. (c. sativus, c. haussknechtii, c. cancellatus, c. speciosus, and c. caspius) from ten geographical regions (ghaen, gonabad, estahban, ferdows, veresk, reno, ali abad, kali abad, neka, and eslam abad). of these, 12 primers revealed polymorphism among crocus spp. average p...

ABSTRACT The common bean, a legume of significant economic importance, is renowned for its extensive genetic variability. It crucial to comprehend diversity, analyze population structure, and understand relationships among commercial classes accessions facilitate improvement. This study aimed molecularly characterize 143 bean by employing 25 SSR molecular markers. objectives were estimate clust...

Most orthopteran insects are phytophagous and some important pests in agriculture forests. Many intestinal microflora of Orthoptera have been reported, primarily from Acridoidea there few reports other taxa. In this study, we collected 15 individuals representing five species ( Ruspolia lineosa , Tetrix japonica Erianthus versicolor Gryllotalpa orientalis Teleogryllus emma ) belonging to superf...

Macaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata) is native to tropical forests in South America and highly abundant in Brazil. It is cited as a highly productive oleaginous palm tree presenting high potential for biodiesel production. The aim of this work was to characterize and study the genetic diversity of A. aculeata ex situ collections from different geographical states in Brazil using microsatellite (Simp...

Elymus sibiricus as an important forage grass and gene pool for improving cereal crops, that is widely distributed in West and North China. Information on its genetic diversity and relationships is limited but necessary for germplasm collection, conservation and future breeding. Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers were used for studying the genetic diversity and relationships among 53 E. sibiri...

The objective of this present study was to explore the initial establishment of metabolically active bacteria and subsequent evolution in four fractions: rumen solid-phase (RS), liquid-phase (RL), protozoa-associated (RP), and epithelium-associated (RE) through early weaning and supplementing rhubarb root powder in 7 different age groups (1, 10, 20, 38, 41, 50, and 60 d) during rumen developmen...

Strong environmental gradients can affect the genetic structure of plant populations, but little is known as to whether closely related species respond similarly or idiosyncratically to ecogeographic variation. We analysed the extent to which gradients in temperature and rainfall shape the genetic structure of four Stipa species in four bioclimatic regions in Jordan. Genetic diversity, differen...

pomegranate (punica granatum l. that one punicaceae) is one of the important economical and commercial horticultural plants cultivated in arid and semiarid parts of iran. also, due to the long history of pomegranate cultivation in iran, genotypes from different regions with obvious similarities in appearance but with different names can be observed. thus, the precise discrimination between .gen...
