the genetic diversity among 56 almond (prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. out of 35 simple sequence repeats (ssrs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. r...

the first step in breeding programs is detecting the genetic diversity in breeding materials. molecular markers help to reduce costs and time in breeding programs. genetic variation in 49 genotypes of tobacco were studied using 12 issr markers, 3 retrotransposon markers and the combination of issr and retrotransposons. one hundred forty seven polymorphic bands were produced using 16 primers. to...

This study was conducted to assessthegenetic variety of 12 damask rosegenotypes of Kurdistan using morphological traits in Zaleh Research Farm affiliated to Kurdistan Province Agriculture Research Center. The experiment was carried out as a randomized complete block design with three replications and each replication included three stocks in each genotype. Results of analysis of variance showed...

20 hulless barley lines were assessed by grain yield and other agronomic traits in 2006 and 2007 in the research station of the university of tabriz, iran. the experiments in each year were carried out as randomized complete block design with four replications. the genotypes were significantly different for most of the studied traits. this indicated the existence of large genetic variation in t...

The experiment was conducted under the agro-ecological zone of Modhupur Tract (AEZ-28) to determine the genetic diversity among 39 rice genotypes, collected from Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Lal Teer Seed Ltd. and Chittagong Hill Tracts. The genotypes were grouped into six clusters based on Mahalanobis’s D 2 statistics and Canonical Variate Analysis. Cluster I consisted with the highest ...

in order to study compatibility of 30 white bean genotypes under karaj climate, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications. evaluation and statistical analysis was performed for 18 important traits. analysis of variance results showed that there are significant differences between varieties for all traits. results of genotypes means comparison w...

wheat (triticum aestivum l.) is a major staple food crop for more than one third of the world population and is the main staple food of asia. over 800 million hectares of land throughout the world are salt affected. salinity is a major obstacle to food production because it substantially reduces the average yield of major crops. this study was conducted to evaluate the response of 24 cultivars ...
