abstract soybean (glycine max) is an important crop plant which contains a high amount of oil and protein. to evaluate the genetic diversity of 45 soybean genotypes growing in iran, two types of molecular markers (rapd and isj) were used. two sets of different primers were used to compare potential differentiation power of it (intron targeting) and et (exon targeting) primers. data obtained fro...

are heterogeneous with respect to molecular weight, buoyant density, and thermal stability. This finding constitutes evidence against unique points of breakage during DNA isolation. The variation in buoyant density suggests a local compositional heterogeneity in the chromosomal region of certain markers. The variation in molecular weight provides an explanation for the results of certain transf...

Genetic variation and inheritance of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers in female grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and male bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and their F1 offspring hybrid have been studied. For this purpose, genomic DNA was extracted from muscle tissue according to phenol-chloroform method, and six decamer primers were used for amplifying polymorphic ...

Narrow genetic variability may lead to genetic vulnerability of field crops against biotic and abiotic stresses which can cause yield reduction. In this study a set of 37 wheat microsatellite markers linked with identified QTLs for salinity tolerance were used for the assessment of genetic diversity for salinity in 30 promising lines of hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A total of 4...

Background: Thrombophilia is a main predisposition to thrombosis due to a procoagulant state. Several point mutations play key roles in blood-clotting disorders, which are grouped under the term thrombophilia. These thrombophilic mutations are methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR, C677T, and A1298C), factor V Leiden (G1691A), prothrombin gene mutation (factor II, G20210A), and plasminogen...

the common reed (phragmites australis) is a perennial weed with the largest geographical distribution of any flowering plant in the world. in this study, 39 populations of common reed were collected and random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers were used to characterize the genetic diversity among these populations. the 16 primers used in this study, amplified 149 scorable rapd bands amon...
