garlic (allium sativum .l) has been and is clonally propagated, because it does not produce seed under standard conditions. knowledge of plant recourses genetic diversity can be a first and most important step in achieving breeding program purposes. because of its high accuracy and reproducibility among different genetic diversity assessment techniques amplified fragment length polymorphism (af...

in order to evaluate of diversity among new maize hybrids for quantitative and morphological traits, 17 new single cross maize hybrids were studied in shahrood agriculture research station using randomized complete blocks design with four replications. results showed that five independent factors were responsible for significant correlation between 16 measured traits and explained 89.18% of tot...

blackberry diversity is high in iran due to its wild and natural populations especially in south of caspian sea. however it has not been investigated before. the goal of this work was to evaluate some wild populations of black berry in mazandaran province of iran. at first, region and then location of blackberries plants identified and the traits of leaf, stem, spin, flower, fruit quantity and ...

Hybridization refers to the crossing breeding of two plants. Coefficient of Parentage (COP) is used by the plant breeders to determine the genetic diversity across various varieties so as to incorporate the useful characters of the two varieties to develop a new crop variety with particular useful characters. Genetic Diversity is the prerequisite for any cultivar development program. Genetic Di...

in this study 485 specimen of garra rufa (heckel, 1843) from 29 populations from six river systems and basins including tigris, karkheh, karun, persis (helleh and mond), hormuz and maharlu were collected by a 5mm mesh sized seine net, anesthetized in 1% clove oil solution, fixed in 10% formalin and transferred to the laboratory for further investigations. some 28 morphometric, 25 morphometric p...

The Hawaiian honeycreepers are a dramatic example of adaptive radiation but contrast with the four other songbird lineages that successfully colonized the Hawaiian archipelago and failed to undergo similar diversification. To explore the processes that produced the diversity dichotomy in this insular fauna, we compared clade age and morphological diversity between the speciose honeycreepers and...
