silvicultural operation need to notice the species diversity. to this study gomarlang district in marivan region, northern zagros forest was selected. in this study 30 circle sample plots (500 m2) were collected by random method. in every sample plot the kind of species and number of trees and shrub were recorded. in the sample plots the micro plots of 5 m by 5 m (i.e. area of 25 m2) were desig...

Three sets of genetic markers (blood group plus protein polymorphisms, mitochondrial DNA, and Y-chromosome) were compared in four French Guiana and one Brazilian Amerindian populations. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between five gene diversity statistics and historical or present-day population sizes showed significant values, indicating loss of diversity due to population bottlenecks...

rapd markers were employed to assess the genetic diversity of 34 iranian wild edible asparagus (a. officinalis) genotypes as well as cv. mary washington and a. persicus. in total, 80 rapd primers were employed for pcr reactions, among which, 18 revealed reasonable polymorphism. the 18 primers produced 175 bands, of which, 160 were polymorphic (91.4% polymorphism). cluster analysis of the genoty...

it is important to identify the genetic diversity and phylogenic relationships for achieving desirable citrus cultivars. in present investigation rapd markers were used to determine genetic diversity among 29 citrus genotypes. from 19 used primers, 248 polymorphic bands were amplified. primers opa-07 and opa-05 (with 19 and 8 amplified bands), produced maximum and minimum polymorphic bands, res...

In the local breeds with small population size, one of the most important problems is the increase of inbreeding coefficient (F). High levels of inbreeding lead to reduced genetic diversity and inbreeding depression. The availability of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays has facilitated the quantification of F by genomic markers in farm animals. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) ...
