genetic diversity of five improved varieties (kaysari, kadi, ranger, mesmir, sea-river) and seven iranian landraces (gharayonje, amozeynadin, rahnani, tazekand, shazand, hamedani, yazdi) of alfalfa were assessed using esterase (est), peroxidase (pox), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (got) and malate dehydrogerase (mdh). got and mdh were monomorphic, whereas est and pox showed polymorphic ba...

genetic markers are one of the advances which have occured in the genomics era. among genetic markers, molecular markers mainly because of their abundance, are the most widely used them. development of molecular markers has greatly altered genetics and plant breeding. genetic markers indicate the genetic differences between different organs or species. some studies which were conducted during t...

inter simple sequence repeat (issr) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity among 23 outcross and self pollinated populations of fennel collected from different geographical regions of iran and some european countries. the experiment was carried out to determine the effect of self-pollination on morphological traits and genetic diversity in the next generation. fifteen primers produce...

background: retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumor in childhood and mutation in the rb1 gene will trigger the tumorigenesis. so far, a wide range of the mutations along the length of rb1 gene have been reported. however, some could not be detected by common detection methods. in such condition, linkage analysis using microsatellite markers is suggested to trace unknown rb1 mutation...

molecular characterization of 19 jatropha accessions that included 15 accessions of j.curcas and 4 different species was carried out using 3 different markers systems. highest polymorphism (96.67%) was recorded by rapd followed by damd (91.02%) and issr (90%). polymorphism information content (pic) was higher for damd (0.873) and almost equal for rapd (0.863) and issr (0.862) markers, whereas r...

ahaptoglobinemia is a common phenomenon in tropical countries,where it is probably due to malaria-induced haemolysis. previous studies have suggested that ahaptoglobinemia is more useful than the other parasite detection indexes to estimate the endemicity of malaria. the present study shows the relationship between malaria and haptoglobin, as a genetic marker in balouch population of sistan & b...

the genetic diversity among 56 almond (prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. out of 35 simple sequence repeats (ssrs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. r...

nuclear markers such as microsatellites have allowed the identification of conservation and management populations of the hawksbill turtles. in present study, eight microsatellite loci were studied. 60 samples of hawksbill turtles. flipper from shidvar and hormuz islands have been surgically removed and preserved in 20% dmso buffer. dna was extracted using dnp kit and amplified by pcr methods. ...
