Genetic improvement of seed vigour and emergence of yellow-seeded flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is important to have a good stand establishment, since they are negatively affected by yellow seed colour. This study was conducted to investigate genetic variation, broad-sense heritability and expected genetic response to selection for germination, seed vigour and field emergence. Sixteen genotypes...

this study investigated genetic variation within indigenous chicken of khorasan using four microsatellite markers (mcw5, mcw16, mcw18 and mcw34). 90 blood samples were collected from this population and phenol-chloroform extraction method was used to isolate the dna. the highest and the lowest allele number and effective alleles are shown in mcw5 (6 and 5.293) and mcw34 (4 and 3.138), respectiv...

Study of genetic relationships is a prerequisite for plant breeding activities as well as for conservation of genetic resources. In the present study, genetic diversity among and within 15 Iranian native Ajowan(Carum copticum L.) populations were determined using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Twelve selected primers produced 153 discernible bands, with 93 (60.78%) being ...
