Changes in seed dormancy were selected during the domestication of crop plants from wild-plant species, because some features of dormancy that provide ecological advantages presented agronomic disadvantages within a farmed system. Seed dormancy varies widely among seed batches, even for seeds of the same genotype, indicating large environmental influences. For genetic studies, it is essential t...

Nuclear simple sequence repeats (nSSRs), together with 16 different enzyme loci, were used to analyzegenetic diversity and differentiation among beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) populations along two altitudinalgradients in Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Both enzymes and nSSR analyses revealed a high level ofgenetic diversity in natural populations of F. orientalis. The genetic div...

a characteriation of continuity of the $p$-$lambda$-variation function is given and the helly's selection principle for $lambda bv^{(p)}$ functions is established. a characterization of the inclusion of waterman-shiba classes into classes of functions with given integral modulus of continuity is given. a useful estimate on modulus of variation of functions of class $lambda bv^{(p)}$ is found.

genetic variation is necessary factor for continued breeding and increasing genetic gain from selection in crop plants. to evaluate genetic variation and genetic gain from selection in bread wheat, 45 genotypes consisting of 9 cultivars and their 36 crosses were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of isfahan university of technology. the phenotyp...
