Sainfoin (Onobrychis vicifolia Scop.) is one of the most important forage legumes cultivated as high quality forage. Fifty three species have been identified in this genus in Iran. A field experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design to compare yield and forage quality of 20 populations of sainfoin in Isfahan Agricultural and Natural Resources Center, Iran during 2013 – 2014....

a geometric morphometric study of the genus erodiontes was carried out using the elliptic fourier method to demonstrate the effect of vicariance on populations of these psammophilous species. four populations of erodiontes, comprising e. aelleni and e. pfaundleri, were sampled from chartaghi, aboozeidabad, meser and hojatabad. differences between the shapes of the conspecific populations are mi...

Genetic variation among the individuals is considered as an important tool for conservation of livestock animals. This study was conducted to analyze the genetic variation, phylogenetic relationship and paternal lineages among Iranian dog populations using seventeen autosomal and Y chromosome-specific microsatellite markers. Total DNAs of the samples were extracted and applied for genotype anal...

twenty accessions of cultivated grass pea (lathyrus sativus l.) and wild species of lathyrus l.collected from western and southern regions of iran were evaluated for their mitotic metaphase chromosomalcharacteristics. all populations comprising 16 populations of cultivated l. sativus and 4 wild populations oflathyrus l. were diploid, 2n=2x=14 chromosomes. there were significant variations among...

The extended use of glyphosate resulted to its reduced efficacy against increasingly problematic weeds, such as Conyza spp. The objectives of this study were to determine the occurrence of glyphosate resistance in horseweed (C. canadensis) and fleabane (C. albida) populations in Greece, to evaluate the effect of weed growth stage on glyphosate efficacy under controlled environmental condit...

during 1979-77 a large number of kurdish populations in northern part of iraq temporarily immigrated to iran and settled in dezful area of khuzestan province, south-west iran. faecal examination of 3,263 samples for intestinal metazoan parasites and 1,154 urine samples for detecting schistosoma haematobium, infection were performed in different sex and age groups. the percentages of prevalent i...
