morphological and rapd markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity among 21 accessions of pomegranate originating from south eastern tunisia. thirteen morphological traits were studied and results showed significant differences for all morphological characters (p< 0.001). clustering based on fruit traits, using ward’s method, divided the accessions into three main groups. in rapd ana...

Because of sexual propagation of Mexican lime in southern regions of Iran, there are many lime accessions (lime biotypes) in Mexican lime gardens in which appear some variation in fruit and tree shape. However, most of these accessions are susceptible to witches broom disease of lime (WBDL). Persian lime (C. latifolia Tanaka) is a triploid WBDL-tolerant species. Considerable number of un-descri...

The wild mint "Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson subsp. noeana (Briq.) Briq." is an important medicinal plant which contains several worthy components like: menthone, pulegone, pipertenon, menthol, thymol, and carvone in its essential oil. This plant grows extensively in center of Asia including Iran. Because of so worthy components and its big role in traditional and modern medicine, the wild mint...

Apricot is grown in a wide range of climatic conditions in Iran, however, it is frequently damaged by late spring frost. In this case, identification of new genotypes tolerant to cold stress is indispensably needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic population and relationships among 27 apricot accessions (Prunus armeniaca) by 30 microsatellite markers and 11 morp...

this study was performed for assessment of correlation of 11 morphological traits with rapd molecular markers in 15 cultivars of date palm collected from the south and south west of iran as population analysis by stepwise regression method. the results of simple and multiple regressions showed that in sum 84 rapd markers had significant association with at least one of the traits. the coefficie...

Genetic diversity amongst 21 induced mutant clones tolerant to salinity along with one non-irradiated sensitive clone of banana (Musa acuminata cv. Dwarf Cavendish (AAA)) were studied using morphological and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Out of the 30 phenotypic indices screened, 23 were polymorph and two traits, leaf habit and blotches color, were differentiated by non-irrad...

of high-quality vegetable and industrial oil. 9 RAPD primers, 6 AFLP primer combinations and 12 agro-morphological traits were used to assess the genetic diversity of 20 accessions of saf flower representing global germplasm variability. Jacquards’ similarity coef ficient were used to understanding the genetic relationships among ccessions, for AFLP and RAPD markers and Euclidian similarity coe...
