Moldy Boletus sp. and Xerocomus sp. were collected from several locations at the campus of the University of Tabriz, Iran. Fungicolous fungal isolates were recovered and characterized by the combination of morphological traits and phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS and LSU sequence data. Fungal isolates were identified as Sepedonium microspermum. This is the first ...

Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I DNA sequences are a good discriminative marker for phylogenetic studies in crustaceans and especially in amphipoda. In the present study, molecular and morphological data were analyzed to test whether Gammarus lobifer authority and Gammarus balutchi authority which one or two geographically separated but morphologically similar species. The analyses pr...

the genus ranunculus l., with a worldwide distribution, is the largest member of the ranunculaceae. here, nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (its) sequence data and chloroplast trnlf sequence data were used to analyze phylogenetic relationships among members of the annual and perennial (group praemorsa, group rhizomatosa, group grumosa and group non-grumosa) species of ranunculus...

desert truffles, hypogeous pezizales (ascomycota), are difficult to identify due to evolutionary convergence of morphological characters among taxa that share a similar habitat and mode of spore dispersal. in this paper we document the presence of picoa lefebvrei (pat.) maire (=phaeangium lefebvrei) in iran and use phylogenetic analysis of the its and 28s rdna to show that this species belon...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect  of irrigation period on the quality and quantity of yield and some morphological and physiological traits of three multigerm sugar beet genotypes named bp mashhad, bp karaj and 191. the experiment was in a split  plot  based on randomized complete block  design , carried out  at motahari research station of sugar beet seed research institute ...

The literature is replete with articles suggesting the existence of a relationship between variability at biochemical loci and morphological variation in various animal populations, including humans. With few exceptions these previous studies have utilized an interpopulational approach by examining levels of heterozygosity between modal and extreme phenotypes, typically by use of analysis of va...

fatty acid modified cellulose nanofibers (mcnfs) and tbhq antioxidant were added to poly(lactic acid) (pla) film. the combined effects of the mcnfs and tbhq on the morphological, thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of pla film were analyzed. the morphology of fracture surfaces evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem). xrd results showed that the crystallinity of ...

This study concerns to evaluate the morphological and flavonoid variations, and chemotaxonomy among seven Scutellaria species. The limits of Scutellaria species were disturbed by different factors including hybridization and polymorphism. For this purpose, 39 Scutellaria accessions were collected from different natural habitats of Zagros region, Iran. A total of 15 quantitative and 20 qualitati...
