Sequence data from four gene regions (nrDNA, petN-psbM, trnD-trnT, trnS-trnG, 3,705 bp) revealed that junipers from the southern mountain ranges of Iran are very diverse. The combined NJ tree (3,705 bp) showed strong support for the distinct nature of J. excelsa, J. polycarpos, J. p. var. turcomanica, and J. p. var. seravschanica. The samples from NW Iran are J. polycarpos and samples from NE I...

objective(s) the cytotoxic effects of crude ethanol extracts of some previously tested iranian conifers  on tumor cell lines have motivated us to screen different parts of two subspecies in these genus. materials and methods terminal branchlets and berries of juniperus excelsa subsp. excelsa and j. excelsa subsp. polycarpos were collected, dried and extracted with ethanol/h2o (80/20 v/v) via pe...

The genus Juniperus L. (Cupressaceae), an aromatic evergreen plant, consists of up to 68 species around the world. We classified five species of Juniperus found in Iran using molecular markers to provide a means for molecular identification of Iranian species. Plants were collected (three samples of each species) from two different provinces of Iran (Golestan and East Azarbayejan). The DNA was ...

Male and female leaves and fruits of eleven different taxons of Iranian conifers (Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis, C. sempervirens var. sempervirens, C. sempervirens cv. Cereifeormis, Juniperus communis subsp. hemisphaerica, J. excelsa subsp. excelsa, J. excelsa subsp. polycarpos, J. foetidissima, J. oblonga, J. sabina, Platycladus orientalis and Taxus baccata) were collected from diff...

Objectives: To broaden the genetic information base of Juniperus and resolve phylogeny polycarpos through sequencing characterization its chloroplast genome. Methods: The (cp) genome J. was sequenced assembled using Next-Generation Sequencing pairedend reads platform BGISEQ-500 annotated CpGAVAS. phylogenetic analysis performed in MEGA7. Findings: Here, we report complete cp sequence polycarpos...
