The objective of this review is to summarize numerous studies on the use of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique on rice, corn, wheat, sorghum, barley, rye, and oats to examine its feasibility and validity for assessment of genetic variation, population genetics, mapping, linkage and marker assisted selection, phylogenetic analysis, and the detection of somaclonal variation. Al...

sediment fingerprinting is a method for identifying sediment sources and determining the rate of contribution of each source. in this method, the natural tracer technology is used, that combined from samples collection, laboratory analyzing and statistical modeling. the natural tracers are measured in both the sources and suspended sediment to determine the rate of contribution each sources. th...

objective(s):the utilization of molecular techniques in the epidemiology of tuberculosis have provided an opportunity for using effective markers to trace the transmission of the disease .the purpose of this study was to compare the genetic patterns of mycobacterium tuberculosis by three methods of rflp technique. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional and prospective study, 95 strains of ...

Content fingerprinting and digital watermarking are techniques that are used for content protection and distribution monitoring. Over the past few years, both techniques have been well studied and their shortcomings understood. Recently, a new content fingerprinting scheme called active content fingerprinting was introduced to overcome these shortcomings. Active content fingerprinting aims to m...

anthracnose caused by colletotrichum gloeosporioides s. l. is one of the most important diseases of citrus in northern iran. to study the genetic structure of c. gloeosporioides s. l. from citrusspp., infected samples were collected from three citrus cultivating regions of northern iran, during the summer of 2009. fifty one monoconidial isolates were used as the objective of rep- and box-pcr fi...

Abstract There is a global concern and increasing reports regarding foodborne disease infections associated with consuming contaminated vegetables, seafood, meat, poultry products. Among bacterial pathogens globally, Salmonella , Escherichia coli Shigella were the most frequently implicated in causing food poisoning children adults. In Saudi Arabia, consumption rates of imported fresh fruits, m...

The genetic diversity of cyanobacteria associated with cycads was examined using the tRNA(Leu) (UAA) intron as a genetic marker. Coralloid roots of both natural populations of the cycad Macrozamia riedlei (Fischer ex Gaudichaud-Beaupré) C.A. Gardner growing in Perth, Australia and cycads growing in greenhouses, also in Perth, were used and their respective cyanobionts analyzed. Several Nostoc s...
