A 3-year environmental and clinical Vibrio vulnificus survey using simple-sequence repeats typing shows that V. vulnificus biotype 3 constitutes approximately 21% of the bacterium population in tested aquaculture ponds as opposed to approximately 86% of clinical cases. Simple-sequence repeats proved to be a useful epidemiologic tool, providing information on the environmental source of the path...

Olive tree is one of the most important oleaginous crops in the world, and known for having large genetic variability. Application of molecular markers is a suitable tool to investigate the genetic pool in crops. Therefore, in the current study 29 olive cultivars were tested by ten primers constituted by inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR). Plant materials were obtained from the collection of ...

This study was conducted to identify and recognize relations and diversity among accessions of the Iranianpears (Pyrus spp). A total of 34 pear accessions, derived presumably from at least six species, were subjected to simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis. The Japanese and the Chinese pear samples were; “Housui” and “Yali” cultivars, example of Pyrus pyrifolia and P. bretschneideri, respectiv...

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandem repeat units of 1-6 bp that are identified in various complete sequences. However, the distribution, nature, and origination of SSRs in pre-miRNAs, which are characteristic stem-loop sequences and are finally processed into ∼22 nt functional miRNAs contributing to regulate several biological processes, are still not well studied. The availability of lar...
