the citrus leafminer, phyllocnistis citrella stainton (lepidoptera: gracillariidae) is a major invasive pest of citrus in tunisia. in order to help the implementation of an efficient integrated management strategy, it was essential to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of the pest. for this purpose, random-amplified polymorphic dna-polymerase chain reaction (rapd-pcr) was app...

many qtls related to agronomic triats have been registered in soybean (glycine max) by different research groups during the last decade. due to the interaction effects of qtls, environmental and genetic backgrounds on the emergence of qtls and also to confirm the previous results as well as to identify new qtls, further studies are still required. in order to map qtl which control some agronomi...

 In order to have a sustainable management on Persian sturgeon as a highly commercial species in the South Caspian Sea, we need to identify its population structure and the level as well as its conservation status in their natural habitat. To develop a conservation program for this all Caspian Sea' sturgeon species it requires knowledge of its genetic diversity using reliable molecular...

The aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the Dniester population of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. The genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from Eurasian rivers (Dniester, Dnieper, Danube, Volga, Kama and Ob) was carried out using microsatellite DNA markers. The genetic var...

in this research, allele frequency and polymorphism of 27 microsatellite markers linked to gene loci controlling grain quality were determined between 47 rice varieties from four different groups including 21 iranian local, 16 improved, 7 irri and 3 upland rice varieties. average number of polymorphic information content (pic) and shannon’s diversity index were 0.54 and 1.14, respectively. maxi...

The common buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a bird of prey with Eurasia distribution. Buteo buteo from Iran, has an important role in the ecological cycle of the north and the northwest parts of Iran, now is suffering from illegal hunting. Blood samples from 50 Buteo buteo birds from rehabilitation center of Pardisan Park, Tehran, Iran were taken to evaluate and study the gen...

Based on the purpose of conservation planning for native species, sixteen populations of cattle, goat andsheep were analyzed by amplification of genomic DNA using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers toestimate of genetic structure. DNA samples of 275 animals were collected to Paccess their genetic content.The polymorphism information content (PIC) values and genetic di...

Background: The motions of body and tumor in some regions such as chest during radiotherapy treatments are one of the major concerns protecting normal tissues against high doses. By using real-time radiotherapy technique, it is possible to increase the accuracy of delivered dose to the tumor region by means of tracing markers on the body of patients.Objective: This study evaluates the accuracy ...

throughout the present study the effect of using markers close to genes affecting a trait, ascompared with the use of all the markers of a genome, and also the effect of on increase in thenumber of reference groups, on the accuracy of a genetic evaluation, was investigated. genomicevaluation was done using blup method. the results indicated that use of markers close to genesaffecting a trait an...
