introduction conventional operations in fields, soil and water management are not efficient and loss of and damage to the environment are considerable (lal, 2000). crop diversity and understanding the complex interactions between environmental and socioeconomic factors are approaches to make better use of limited resources (tengberg et al., 1998). the most diverse ecosystems have a higher produ...

in order to investigate the weed diversity and modeling light interception in sole and intercropping millet and bean an experiment was conducted as complete randomized block design with 4 treatments and 4 replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. treatments included monocultures, intercropping of millet and bean and a control treatment...

in this research, issr technique was applied to assess genetic diversity among 56 chickpea lines. out of 34 primers, nine primers produced appropriate banding patterns and produced 35 polymorphic bands in chickpea lines. mean percentage of polymorphism of the primers was 66.01 with range of 25 to 100 percent. mean of nei's genetic diversity and shannon information index over all primers we...

ziziphora tenuior, named kakooti in farsi, is one of the aromatic and medicinal plants of a wide distribution in iran. in this study, rapd molecular markers, (by utilization of 16 primers) was applied to determine the genetic diversity of 39 samples of ziziphora tenuior from 21 geographical regions in iran. a number of 100 polymorphic bands out of 110 amplified ones was produced and analyzed th...

We characterized single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) molecular markers from 20 genotypes of Anthurium andraeanum Lind., including 3 from commercial varieties and 17 from 2 communities in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Twenty-four SPAR, consisting of 7 random amplified polymorphic DNA and 17 inter-simple sequence repeat markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 20 Anth...

Biodiversity is well studied in ecology and the concept has been developed to include traits of species, rather than solely taxonomy, to better reflect the functional diversity of a system. The deep sea provides a natural environmental gradient within which to study changes in different diversity metrics, but traits of deep-sea fish are not widely known, hampering the application of functional ...
