this study investigated the genetic diversity of morchella species using randomly amplified polymorphic dna markers. morchella species are an important group of edible mushrooms belonging to the family helveliaceae with medicinal and economical significance. in this study we have developed an efficient method of genomic dna isolation which was amplified by eight rapd primers to test the polymor...

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...

myotonic dystrophy (dm), one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy, is an inherited disorder of the muscles and other body systems. dm is a progressive genetic disorder with a triplet repeat autosomal mutation that affects an estimated 1 in 8000 people. myotonic dystrophy type 1, also known as steinerts disease, and type 2 caused by mutation in dmpk and cnbp genes, respectively. in eac...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

background: oculocutaneous albinism type1 (oca1) is characterized by the absence of melanin pigmentation. the muta­tion on tyr gene makes oca1 as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. in this study, we delineated the genetic analysis of an iranian family with four members affected with oca1.  methods: clinical exams and paraclinical test were performed for all patients of the case family, al...

Little information is available regarding genetic variation in wild wheat relatives from Iran. In this study, genetic diversity of 36 populations of wild einkorn wheat, Triticum boeoticum, was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primer combinations. Seventeen AFLP primer combinations led to amplify 979 scorable fragments ranging from 50 to 500 bp and of these, 429 (44%) ...
