Abstract Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvelev is an important perennial grass species extensively dispersed in the typical grassland communities of Eurasian steppe region. It relished by livestock due to its high quality and being a nutritionally valuable forage crop. L. has recently gained extensive consideration on genetic diversity. However, diversity studies using SSR markers currently limited....

the aim of this study was to assess the genetic diversity of iranian turkmen horse using microsatellite markers (hms02, hms03, hms07 and aht04). blood samples were collected from 51 turkmen horses in khorasan shomali province, iran. genomic dna was extracted and then standard polymerase chain reaction performed to amplify the microsatellite markers using specific primers. the pcr products were ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed for Paeonia delavayi and P. ludlowii (Paeoniaceae) to study their population genetics and phytogeography. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine polymorphic nuclear microsatellite loci were isolated from an enriched library of P. delavayi and primers were designed. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 16; the observed and expected het...

pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica is one of the most valuable forest tree species in iran that has been severely exploited for a long time. therefore, understanding the genetic diversity of different populations can be an important step towards the development and restoration of the habitat of this invaluable tree species. in this study, in order to study the genetic diversity, 10 populations in...

The Argania is an endemic genetic resource in Morocco holding an important ecological and socio-economical benefit. However, overgrazing and overharvesting lead to a serious downturn in the number of trees. To characterize genetic diversity within and among 24 populations, represented by 240 argan trees, four combinations of SRAP primers and eight combinations of REMAP primers were used. A tota...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed for the endophytic fungus Epichloë festucae, which is symbiotic with Festuca rubra, to study the population genetics of the species and to compare population structures between E. festucae and its host F. rubra. • METHODS AND RESULTS We developed 14 polymorphic markers using the unplaced genomic scaffold sequences of E. ...

The silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio), a gynogenetic teleost, is a promising model for the study of evolutionary genetics in vertebrates. We identified ten gynogenetic clones (FZ-I~FZ-X) from triploid silver crucian carp, collected from Fangzheng County in Heilongjiang Province, China, using microsatellite markers. The genetic diversity of these gynogenetic clones was analyzed usi...
