In 1997 and 1998 we used samples of harvested grain to verify the possibility of distinguishing 14 winter wheat genotypes and six triticale genotypes and detecting the impurity on the basis of the detection of polymorphism of prolamin kernel proteins using the methods of the PAGE ISTA. On the basis of the identity index two sister prolamin lines with different percentage of participation, which...

Polyploidization is one of the major driving forces in plant evolution and is extremely relevant to speciation and diversity creation. Polyploidization leads to a myriad of genetic and epigenetic alterations that ultimately generate plants and species with increased genome plasticity. Polyploids are the result of the fusion of two or more genomes into the same nucleus and can be classified as a...

To extend agricultural productivity by knowledge-based breeding and tailor varieties adapted to specific environmental conditions, it is imperative to improve our ability to assess the dynamic changes of the phenome of crops under field conditions. To this end, we have developed a precision phenotyping platform that combines various sensors for a non-invasive, high-throughput and high-dimension...

BACKGROUND Allopolyploidization is one of the major evolutionary modes of plant speciation. Recent interest in studying allopolyploids has provided significant novel insights into the mechanisms of allopolyploid formation. Compelling evidence indicates that genetic and/or epigenetic changes have played significant roles in shaping allopolyploids, but rates and modes of the changes can be very d...

retrotransposons (rtns) constitute informative molecular markers for plant species because of their ability to integrate into a multitude of loci throughout the genome and thereby generate insertional polymorphisms between individuals. in the present study, rtn-based molecular markers, irap (inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism) and remap (retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymo...

Background: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is an important medicinal plant that is a source of diosgenin, trigonelline and other valuable components. Fenugreek seeds is used for its pharmaceutical and nutraceutical properties. Objective: The aim of present study was to investigate the genetic diversity within and between different populations of Trigonella foenum-graecum using DNA ma...

to determine the correlation between important traits with yield in barley through path analysis for selecting high yielding lines, three new lines of barley resistant to cold (c-81-13, c-81-11, c-81 -15), compared with valfajr (as control) were studied. this experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2008 to 2010 in boyer ahmad city.a number ...

the common reed (phragmites australis) is a perennial weed with the largest geographical distribution of any flowering plant in the world. in this study, 39 populations of common reed were collected and random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers were used to characterize the genetic diversity among these populations. the 16 primers used in this study, amplified 149 scorable rapd bands amon...
