Using SSR, a molecular marker, this study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity and relationship among 55 herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) cultivars belonging Lactiflora, Hybrid Itoh Groups lay foundation for classification of cultivars, as well background analysis breeding new cultivars. Our results show that 86 alleles, 76 which were polymorphic, obtained by screening 13 pairs po...

oligonychus afrasiaticus mcg is a key pest on kabkab and khasi date cultivars in behbehan. this research was conducted based on randomized complete block designs with 9 cultivars and 3 replications in behbehan agricultural research station during 2008 and 2009. the main idea of the investigation was the response assessment of these cultivars to the spider mite. the cultivars included kabkab, kh...

Yield performance and host suitability to Hoplolaimus columbus of 18 soybean cultivars in maturity groups V and VI and 21 cultivars in groups VII and VIII were evaluated in 10 experiments. No cultivar was highly resistant to H. columbus. Within individual experiments, few differences were detected in yield losses among cultivars; however, over all locations Braxton, Coker 485, and Leflore were ...

In vitro shoot-tips of three cultivars of tropical taro (Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta (L.) Schott) were successfully cryopreserved by vitrification. Different conditioning treatments were required for each of the cultivars, while the vitrification protocol was constant for all. For the cultivars E399 and CPUK, shoot-tips from three-month-old in vitro plants grown on solidified MS were pre...

The main aim of this investigation was to characterize new kiwi fruit cultivars after cold storage treatment and to determine the similarities and differences between them, using spectroscopic methods. The chemometric comparison of kiwi fruit cultivars based on physicochemical indices during cold storage was carried out. All kiwi fruit cultivars showed a high level of correlation between the co...

Rice as one of the most important agricultural crops has a putative potential for ensuring food security and addressing poverty in the world. In the present study, in order to provide basic information to improve rice through breeding programs, Inter Simple Sequence Repeat marker (ISSR) was used For DNA fingerprinting and finding genetic relationships among 32 different cultivars. In this study...

The aim of the study was to identify response cold stress 16 soybean cultivars by evaluating their emergence, yield level, and seed chemical composition. Studies were conducted in 2018–2019. A total sixteen belonging three earliness groups (early, medium-early late) included. Short-term (3-day) (12/6 °C day/night) applied immediately after sowing (A), 3 days (B) 6 (C) seeds, while long (9-day) ...

BACKGROUND In the recent years, cases of elderly women suffering from metabolic diseases such as dyslipidemias brought about by hormonal imbalance after menopause are continuously increasing. In this regard, a continuous and escalating demand to develop a more functional and highly nutritional food product as an adjunct supplement that can help alleviate these diseases is still being sought. ...

Discerning the genetic diversity of any crop species provides insight into the strength of an applied breeding program and directs future breeding strategies aimed at long-term genetic gain and minimized genetic vulnerability. The number and abundance of ancestral parents present in the pedigree of crop cultivars can provide an average estimation of the depth of the genetic base of the overall ...
