Assessment of genetic diversity is important step for exploitation from plant material in breeding programs. In this study, genetic diversity of 55 barley lines evaluated using SSR markers and also microsatellite markers were used to identify informative markers associated with phonological and yield traits related to drought escape including days to heading, grain filling period, days to physi...

Microsatellite DNA markers isolated from wild species khinjuk (Pistacia khinjuk Stocks.) were used to evaluate the genetic diversity available in Iranian pistachio cultivars. Out of the 27 SSR primers tested initially, 25 could amplify the DNA in different pistachio cultivars, of which 19 primer pairs produced clear bands. Based on the amplification profiles of the genotypes by the remaining pr...

     The wild relatives are important sources of genes for some desirable traits and adaptation to environmental conditions that can be exploited to enrich the cultivated safflower gene pool. In this study, genetic relationship and finding chance of specific markers between three species of the genus Carthamus, including tinctorius, lanatus and oxyacantha were evaluated by 9 ISSR primers. The s...

Cadmium is a toxic unnecessary element for humans and plants which is easily absorbed by plants. Genetic variation in cadmium accumulation provides an opportunity for breeding programs to select genotypes with low cadmium. Due to the high cost of plant tissue analysis to determine the amount of cadmium, use of markers to make efficient selection of low cadmium accumulating genotypes is an effec...
