In different countries, interest in the commercial cultivation of olive has recently greatly increased, which led to expansion its range. The Crimean Peninsula is northern limit common (Olea europaea L.) A unique collection olive’s cultivars and hybrids been collected Nikitsky Botanical Gardens (NBG). aim this study was assess genetic diversity 151 samples (total several biological replicates 4...

a cytogenetical study on 13 alfalfa (medicago sativa) cultivars available in iranian forest and rangelands genebank was performed in order to obtain basic information on the variability in chiasma frequency/distribution, chromosome association and segregation. such cytogenetic information is useful for planning hybridization programs. cluster analysis of meiotic data and ordination of cultivars...

The genetic variation within and between wild apple samples (Malus sylvestris) and cultivated apple trees was investigated with amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) and microsatellite markers to develop a conservation genetics programme for the endangered wild apple in Belgium. In total, 76 putative wild apples (originating from Belgium and Germany), six presumed hybrids and 39 cultiv...

melon and musk melon are grown widely in warm and moderate climate regions of the world as well as iran. these crops are attacked by several fungal pathogens including macrophomina phaseolina which causes charcoal rot disease at different growth stages and reduces the yield remarkably. fungicide application and other control methods have not been successful in control of charcoal rot and utiliz...

Genetic diversity among 23 rice genotypes including wild species and cultivars of indica, japonica, aus and aromatic type was investigated using 165 genomewide core set microsatellite (SSR) markers. This genotypic characterization was undertaken to know the genetic similarity among the parental lines to be used in developing a set of chromosome segment substitution lines. In all, 253 alleles we...

Identification and selection of promising genotypes of fruit tree are primary steps in breeding programs. The economic importance of almond production in the world has stimulated numerous studies related to breeding, quantitative and qualitative traits, the increase of yield and decrease production costs. In this study, morphological and pomological characteristics of 60 cultivar and superior g...
