red fleshed apples have high levels of anthocyanins in their flesh. iran enjoys a large variety of these apples due to its location in central asia. in the present study, 20 genotypes including eight iranian red fleshed and 12 commercial iranian and foreign apples were selected for the study of genetic diversity of red fleshed apples. we used a set of 11 microsatellite markers (ssrs) to determi...

An issue that covers the tiny — the chromo­ somes of m alaria -carry ing mosquitoes — to the massive — the two bil­ lion peop le th o u g h t to be §ee Also affected with the tuberculo­ sis virus — will take center stage for seven panelists in th e N o tre D am e F o ru m today. The second annual forum, entitled “The Global Health Crisis: F o rg in g S o lu tions , Effecting C hange ,” will be ...

Genetic divergence in 105 genotypes of toria Germ plasm was evaluated by using Mahalanobis's D2 test. Oil content, fatty acid composition and glucosinolate content was estimated and data obtained for various characters were subjected to statistical analysis i.e. analysis of variance, heritability, genetic advance, correlation and measurement of genetic divergence. Analysis of variance indicated...

increasing diversity and apply intercropping systems is one of approaches to control of weeds. to evaluate the effects of additive maize-bean intercropping on yield, yield components and weeds in zanjan conditions, a field study was conducted in a spilt plot with randomized complete block design in three replications at research farm of zanjan university in 2010. main plots were the different p...

Objectives: To assess the relation between the prevalence of canine hip dysplasia, inbreeding and genetic diversity by breed. Methods: Retrospective pedigree analysis of 9 breeds based on a reference population of 41,728 individuals, and hip dysplasia assessment in 1745 dogs. Results: Hip dysplasia was less common among breeds with higher coefficient of inbreeding, lower genetic diversity, and ...

Biodiversity plays a crucial role in stability and productivity of natural ecosystem. The main goal of this research was to classify ecological groups in steppe rangeland and investigate their relationships with plant diversity indices. Therefore, fifty different Land Unit Tracts (LUT) were identified in Khod-Neuk basin, Yazd province, Iran, in 2010. Vegetation and soil samples were taken in th...

Characterization of genetic variability in a population is pertinent as genetic diversity within population and within species determines the extent of improvement achieved through crop improvement 8 methods. One hundred ninety six F recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of tef, developed by single-seed descent method from a cross between two tef varieties DZ-01-196 and DZ-01-2356, were evaluated to ...

The genetic diversity of domestic quail and two wild quail species, Japanese (Coturnix coturnix)and Common quail (Coturnix japonica), found in China was studied using microsatellite DNA markers. According to a comparison of the corresponding genetic indices in the three quail populations, such as Polymorphism Information Content (PIC), Mean Heterozygosity ( H ) and Fixation Index, wild Common q...

plant diversity conservation is a main objective in rangelandmanagement. plant diversity is a suitable index for showing the changes ofvegetation in rangelands and has a high correlation with ecosystem parameters.therefore, using this index it is possible to find the changes and manage theecosystem correctly. the current research was performed to determine the speciesdiversity in fashandak rang...
