Genetic resources are the most valuable national treasure of countries, being vital to identify, conserve and use them. The Persian Walnut (Juglans regiaL.), a diploid species native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, is the major walnut species cultivated for nut production and one of the most widespread tree nut species in the world. This research was conducted in M...

Cinchona officinalis is an important species from the Andean cloud forest that has a low regeneration rate in natural populations. In vitro of C. been successfully established but somaclonal variation was not evaluated. The pathway and number subcultures on were evaluated using six ISSR primers amplified 58 loci Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR). A dendrogram based Jaccard´s genetic distance...

Investigating genetic diversity in plant species provides a platform for further insight in plant breeding and conservation. Therefore, in the present study genetic diversity of 13 geographically isolated genotypes of Zhumeria majdea, as a seriously endangered medicine plant growing exclusively in Hormozgan province (South of Iran) was studied. To do so, the leaf samples of Z. majdea were colle...

The classification of bamboos based on floral morphology and reproductive characters is very hard due to erratic flowering behavior and unusually long reproductive cycle. The application of reliable and effective DNA molecular markers is highly essential to address this problem. In the present investigation, inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers were employed to study phylogenetic relati...

the flowering and fructification period of the chilean strawberry (fragaria chiloensis (l.) duch.) is restricted to approximately 2 mo, which seriously limits the commercial development of the species. the objective of the current investigation was to identify inter simple sequence repeat (issr) polymorphisms associated with flowering duration in accessions of f. chiloensis. the flowering durat...

the kermani sheep is an important meat producing an animal in iran and its economic efficiency is mainly dependent on its growth and reproduction ability. inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) is the genome region between microsatellite loci. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of two different issr markers with predicted breeding values (pbv) of body weight trait in kermani she...
