        Background & Objective: The Common Pochard (Aythya ferina) is one of the most abundant and widely distributed species in the world, among ducks. The aim of this study was to investigate the structure and genetic diversity of Aythya ferina in Iran using cytochrome b gene. Material and Methodology: For this study, samples were taken from 10 pieces of Aythya ferina that were taken from the north and south of the country. Haplotypic and nucleotide analyzes were performed using MEGA, Papart, DNAsp and Network software. Findings: In general, 7 different haplotypes were identified by examining 8 fragments of 929 pairs of cytochrome b gene of Aythya ferina. Haplotype diversity was calculated 0.818, nucleotide diversity was calculated 0.00149. The value of Nm or the amount of gene flow between the sampling logic was 1.383, which indicates a high gene flow and in other words, a very small gene distance between the populations of this species and its European and Asian populations. Rogers-Harping index, Tajima index and Fu Fs were calculated 0.112, -0.028 and -1.288, respectively. The mismatch distribution diagram is also plotted as a single view, all of which show an indeterminate population history similar to the model of sudden expansion. Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results obtained from the haplotype network and the cognitive tree, as well as a slight genetic difference between the studied populations, there is a possibility of migration of this bird from both Europe and East Asia to Iran. Considering the results of the present study, Iranian wetlands should be recognized as important and key areas and the necessary management and protection measures should be taken in these areas.

        Background and Objective: In recent years, Hystrix indica as the biggest rodent in Iran has been in conflict with humans regarding the destruction of gardens and agricultural products, and the population of this species has been decreased due to illegal hunting and the use of pesticides and chemical poisons. Meanwhile there is not effective information which provide the possibility of developing a management and conservation plan for this species, so the aim of this study is to investigate the structure and genetic diversity of Hystrix indica in Fars province habitats. Material and Methodology: 15 quill and tissue samples of this species were collected in the Fars province habitats. After DNA extraction, mitochondrial cytochrome b gene was amplified in 13 samples by polymerase chain reaction and 912 nucleotide pairs of this gene were sequenced and edited for each sample. Findings: Based on the Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Phylogenetic Tree, all the studied samples are related to the same clade and belong to Hystrix indica species. Among the studied samples, only two different haplotypes were identified and the haplotype diversity was equal to 0.282 and the nucleotide diversity was estimated to be 0.00029. Discussion and Conclusion: the results showed that haplotype diversity of Hystrix indica is low in Fars province, so it is suggested to avoid further environmental crises like disruption of its food chain, while conducting demographic studies in order to develop a conservation and management plan for this species.

        Objective: Borujerd region in Lorestan province is one of the best and less known natural habitats of plantago major L. The aim of the current study is to identify its natural habitats in Borujerd region and to evaluate genetic diversity in ecotypes with ISSR molecular markers. Materials and methods: In this research, the genetic diversity of 23 samples from 6 populations of Plantago major L. was studied. The extracted DNA of all 23 samples was done by the kit method. 10 primers with international codes were used for PCR reaction. The presence or absence of the band was stored as a one/zero matrix in the SPSS program. Findings: Out of the total 1632 bands produced, 200 bands (alleles) were polymorphism, which was calculated as 24% of polymorphism. The length of the generated fragments varied between 300 and 1650 bp. Primer P8 produced the most common bands with 61 bands and primer P9 produced the least common bands with 7 bands in the populations. The highest number of amplified bands was 206 bands related to P8 primer and the lowest number of produced bands was 125 bands related to P5 primer. Conclusion: The results show that the ISSR genetic markers, especially the P8 primer, can be used in phylogenetic studies of leek plant. Despite its small area, Borujerd region is suitable for the growth of various ecotypes of the Plantago major L, and therefore the preservation and maintenance of this natural habitat and the propagation of different ecotypes should be considered.

        Inroduction & Objective: Fish growth is regulated by many environmental and physiological factors and is shaped by the genetic background of each organism. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) plays an important role in various biological processes of fish. This study aimed to examine the rate of expression of IGF-I mRNA growth gene at different stages of growth in local and imported rainbow trout in Iran. Materials and Methods: Hence, local and imported trout fish in three sizes of small, medium and large, with a total mean weight and size of 453.66±244.34 gr and 32.25±6.78 cm, respectively, were obtained from the fish breeding center in Guilan province (Rasht). First, 20 mg samples of the liver tissue of the fish were obtained under sterile conditions after anesthesia from both local and imported breeds. RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis were performed according to the RT-PCR standard method in the Genetics Research Laboratory of Tonekabon Azad University. Results: The results showed that the expression of IGF-I gene was significantly different between local and imported breeds so that the highest and lowest gene levels were in the small size of imported breed and medium size of local breed, respectively (P<0.05). However, there was no significant relationship between the amount of gene expression and weight and length of fish (P˃0.05), while IGF-I expression showed a decreasing trend with an increase in the fish size.Conclusion: These findings suggest that the IGF-I gene may play a key role in the growth and development of rainbow trout.

        The use of lactobacilli in the production of fermented foods has several thousand years old due to their ability to make the desired changes in the taste and texture of the food, as well as their importance in the human health. Different dairy products can be a source of new strains of Lactobacillus. Therefore, molecular identification and their genetic variation can be an effective step in identifying native lactobacilli reserves with specific functional characteristics and applying them to industrial dairy products. The purpose of this study is to isolate lactobacilli from flora in cow's milk of Narmeshir city and study their genetic diversity. For this purpose, 21 milk samples were collected from different regions of the city, and Lactobacilli wereisolated by the conventional phenotypic and biochemical methods. In order to screen and investigate the genetic diversity of isolated lactobacilli, five RAPD primers were randomly selected. After doing PCR, the analyses of genetic and phylogenetic diversity were performed using Pyelph software and phylogeny trees were drawn. Cluster analysis of molecular data was able to divide the isolates into seven distinct groups at a genetic distance of 10. K3 and K4 isolates were in group 1 and isolates K21, K13, and K11were in group 4. The remaining isolates were placed in separate groups. Since K3 and K4 isolates were from a region and K21 and K13 isolates were also collected from a region, their placement seems to be logical in a group. Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the genetic diversity of canola cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete blocks with 9 rapeseed cultivars in 3 replications in Iranshahr region. After culture, DNA extraction was done using CTAB or Dellaporta method with some modifications and 6 pairs of RAPD primers were used for amplification. Also, at the end of the growing season, traits such as plant height, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, yield and seed oil percentage were measured.The results of the analysis of variance showed that the cultivars have a significant difference at the 1% probability level. Also, there was a positive and significant correlation between the studied traits. Cluster analysis of morphological-agronomical data of rapeseed cultivars in four main groups and cluster analysis of molecular data of rapeseed cultivars in three main groups. Cultivars placed in each group have more genomic similarity and cultivars placed in different groups have more genetic differences. In the analysis of the main coordinates of the molecular data, the first two components could not include all the information obtained, so this information indicates the wide distribution of these markers on the rapeseed genome and can cover a wide area of it. The results of this research showed that according to the diversity observed in the cultivars and based on the results of the grouping of genotypes, it is possible to select genotypes from groups that have a greater genetic distance from each other and use them for specific breeding purposes.

        Tobacco budworm (Helicoverpa armigera) is one of the key pests of tobacco farms. Nucleopolyhedrovirus is one of the most important biological control agents of budworm and a number of other species. In this study the genetic diversity of different isolates of Nucleopolyhedrovirus belonging to 16 natural populations in Mazandaran and Golestan  provinces, were investigated. The tobacco budworm samples were collected from tobacco fields and transferred to biotechnology Laboratory of Tirtash Research and Education Center. Purification of NPV virus and DNA extraction was done using CTAB method. Among ten pair of primers which we used for amplification of NPV, two pair of RAPD primers that showed the highest Polymorphism were selected. Sixteen DNA samples isolated from different geographical regions of Golestan and Mazandaran provinces were checked with these selected RAPD primers and they created countable bands. Totally, 87 Countable bands were generated following the PCR products. Among them,75 bands(86%) were polymorphic. Data analysis was done using the PyElph Software. Population grouping using UPGMA method based on genetic distance of 20, revealed five major clusters. Using the underlying RAPD marker, the isolates of Nucleopolyhedrovirus were in a one gene cluster, showed the greatest genetic affinity. Manuscript profile

        Root and basal rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepae is one of the most important diseases of onions that causes significant economic losses in onions fields. To recognize the genetic diversity and relationship among isolates of the pathogen, 30 isolates which had been collected from Isfahan, Kerman, Ardebil and Fars provinces, Iran were studies in 2012. Pathogenicity diversity of the isolates was investigated by inoculation of all isolates on three cultivars of onion named Sefid Kashan, Sefid Ahvaz and Ghermez Azarshahr in greenhouse. Genetic diversity of the isolates was also investigated by RAPD and PCR-RFLP techniques using ITS1 / ITS4 primers. Molecular data were analyzed by NTSYS-pc software and isolates were then classified using Jaccard coefficient and UPGMA simulated methods. In pathogenicity experiment, onion bulbs infected with isolates were planted in pots and maintained in greenhouse with 25 ˚C, 70% RH and 12h light. The experiment was carried out in completely randomized design with five replications and disease severity for each isolate were assessed three weeks after planting. The results showed that disease severity of isolates was significantly different at 1% level of probability in different onion cultivars but no significant relationship was detected in pathogenicity variation and genetic diversity among the isolates.   Manuscript profile

        In order to study genetic diversity of traits seed yield, 49 alfalfa genotypes including foreign and Iranian germplasms in 2009, were evaluated in a simple lattice design (7*7) with two replications at the Natural Resources and Agricultural Research Center of East Azerbaijan, in Iran. Analysis of variance revealed significant genetic diversity among genotypes with respect to some of the traits. Seed yield correlated significantly with number of days to flowering, seeding period, biomass and harvest index. But, its correlation with number of days to complete flowering and the number of days to seed setting was significant and negative. Plant height, thousand seed weight and biomass were the most important contributors to seed yield. Direct effect of biomass and indirect effect of plant height through biomass on seed yield was high. Therefore, biomass could be used as effective criteria for selection of high yielding genotypes. Manuscript profile

        Protein patterns of SDS-PAGE have been widely used to determine genetic variation in cereals. This study was carried out at The Payame-Noor University of Asadabad to study genetic diversity and protein pattern in bread wheat cultivars before and after flowering. 13 bread wheat cultivars were applied to prepare protein patterns based on SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The highest genetic distance before bolting was between Zare and Gascogen (8 units). The lowest genetic distance before flowering was between cultivars with a distance equal to zero. This result indicates high genetic similarity between wheat cultivars. The most similarity between the cultivars is the value of one, such as Pishgam and Sayson (one means one hundred percent similarity) or Pishgam and Bezustaya (with one). The least similarity is 0.2 between Zare and Gascogen. Based on cluster analysis these 13 bread wheat cultivars were divided into three groups. The results after bolting were largely similar to the protein pattern before blooming. The most similarity between the cultivars is the value of one. Pishgam and Sayson was one hundred percent similar, and Pishgam and Bezustaya as well. The lowest similarity was observed between Zare and Gascogen cultivars with zero and 0.25 between Zare and other cultivars. Based on cluster analysis, 13 wheat cultivars were grouped into four clusters. Zare, Gascogen and Omid cultivars were placed in separate clusters and the rest of the cultivars were classified in one group. Increasing one group indicates the effect of some proteins that are effective in the developmental stages before and after wheat flowering. Manuscript profile

        This study was performed to assess potato hybrids for their promising agronomic, and marketability traits and their adaptability to climatic conditions of potato production areas in country. Some 104 potato hybrids selected during five years (2010-2014) along with Savalan, Ceaser, Agria and Khavaran cultivars, as controls, were compared in an augment design (preliminary experiment) without replications both at the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station of Ardabil and Seed and Plant Institute Improvement of Karaj. These hybrids (104), tested in this experiment, were from 8 breeding populations. One half of the hybrids (52) in Ardabil and the other half (52) in Karaj (a total of 104 hybrids) each were planted in the 4 blocks and each block consisted of 13 hybrids with four control (Agria, Khavaran, Ceaser and Savalan cultivars). During growing period and after harvest the traits like: plant height, main stem number per plant, main stem diameter, tuber number and weight per plant, marketable tuber yield and tuber dry matter percent were measured. Then 81 hybrids were selected as superior hybrids as to their marketable tuber yield and tuber dry matter content. Hybrids selected consisted of 17 hybrids from ♂ Satina × ♀ Luca population, 36 hybrids from ♂ Ceaser × ♀ Luca population, 14 hybrids from ♂ Savalan × ♀ Luca population, 7 hybrids from ♂ Savalan × ♀ Ceaser population, 4 hybrids from ♂ Ceaser × ♀ Savalan population, 1 hybrids from ♂ Satina × ♀ Savalan population and 2 hybrids from ♂ Satina × ♀ Savalan population. Cluster analysis divided 104 hybrids and cultivars into three groups. The first group with 49 hybrids had higher average tuber number per plant, marketable tuber yield and tuber dry matter percent than the remaining hybrids. In factor analysis, three independent factor total explained 73.90% of the variations. These were named as, 1- tuber yield and its components factor (marketable tuber yield, tuber number and weight per plant), 2- the plant structures factor (plant height, number of main stems per plant and main stem diameter) and 3- quality factor (tuber dry matter percent).

        This research was performed to evaluate genetic diversity for some quantitative traits and tuber flesh color of potato genotypes irradiated with gamma ray of Caesar cultivar, at the Agricultural Nuclear Research Institute of Karaj, Ardabil Behparvar Sabalan Company and Ardabil Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station during 2012 and 2013. The plantlets were irradiated with gamma rays at dose of 25 Gy. The plantlets were sub-cultured three cycles in MS culture and then were transferred to the greenhouse. The 3000 plantlets were planted in plastic pots 10×10 cm with Mikskaar peat-moss and punce (1:1 v/v) in the greenhouse. From 3000 plantlets irradiated belonging to 175 genotypes, 1424 mini-tubers waghed 4821.7 g, were selected with selection intensity of 5.8%. Mean minituber numbers and their weights per plant of genotypes were 8.14 and 27.55 grams and in that of control were 4 and 17.4 grams respectively. The selected genotypes along with control (Caesar and Agria cultivars) were planted in an augmented design in 2013. The ANONA results showed that there were significant differences among genotypes for all traits under study. The tuber yield in parental genotypes was 27.42 ton.ha-1 and in genotypes 3-60 ton.ha-1, number of tubers and their weight per plant in parental genotypes were6 and 555 g. and in genotypes 2-28 and 60-1200 g. respectivly. The tuber yield, tuber number and weight per plant, tuber average weight and main stem number per plant had high diversity. In factor analysis, three independent factors explained 83.07% of the total variation. These factors were: 1- yield and its components (tuber yield, tuber number and weight per plant) as the first factor, 2- the tuber uniformity (average tuber weight) as the second factor, and 3- plant structure (p) and height and number of main stems per plant)as the third factor. The selected genotypes (46 genotypes) possessed higher tuber yields, tuber numbers and weight per plant, tuber uniform, shallow eye depth, skin and flesh color of yellow to dark yellow.

        Temperature during flowering and seed filling is a very important indicator for estimating the yield potential of rapeseed. In order to evaluate the effect of heat stress due to delay in sowing date on agronomic characteristics of different rapeseed genotypes (including, Hyola420, Hyola50, Hyola60, SAN37, SAN34 and Dalgan) two separate experiments on two Conventional sowing date (11th Nov.) and late sowing date (16th Dec.) each in the form of a randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in the research farm of Islamic Azad University, Ramhormoz Branch, during the growing season of 2016 and 2017. Each sowing date was considered as an environment and the data were finally analyzed by combined analysis. The results showed that with delay in sowing date and the occurrence of heat stress at flowering and seed filling stages, the number of flowers on the main raceme, ratio of siliques produced per flowers produced, number of siliques per plant, and branches per plant, number of seeds per silique, 1000-seed weight, silique length, plant height and reproductive period decreased and led to significant reduction in seed yield. Reducing silique numbers per plant had the highest contribution to reducing seed yield. In conventional sowing date, seed yield in Hyola 420 and SAN 34 was higher than other genotypes. Under heat stress conditions due to delay in sowing, seed yield in Hyola50 followed by SAN34 was higher than other genotypes and Dalgan had the lowest seed yield. The lowest percentage of reduction seed yield was belonged to Hyola50 (55%) and the amount of stress susceptibility index in this genotype indicated that it was semi-tolerant to late season heat stress. In conventional sowing date, genotypes that quickly reached to the flowering stage but had a longer flowering period, had higher yields. In late sowing date, significant negative correlation was observed between the duration of flowering with number of siliques per plant, number of seeds per silique and seed yield. SAN 34 had high yield in both conventional and late sowing dates and is suggested as a suitable genotype for achieving stable yield in Ramhormoz region. Manuscript profile

           In order to increase information about the molecular diversity of Pasteurella multocida isolated from cattle and buffalo, 2 buffalo and 8 cattle isolates were investigated by Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA). REA was performed with Hha-I Endonuclease which established 2 distinct profiles: I and II.  Cattle and buffalo isolates fell into both REA profiles. Contrary to previous studies, the genetic diversity of the isolates was negligible. Considering the similarity of cattle and buffalo isolates is the present study, further studies witch larger samples should be carried out to investigate the possibility of inter-species transmission.      Manuscript profile

        Tanacetum pinnatum Boiss. is a perennial plant native to Iran belonging to the Asteraceae family. Which has been used to treat migraine, rheumatism and anti-inflammatory diseases. In this study, phytochemical charchterisic of different populations of T. pinnatum in natural habitats was evaluated by multivariate methods. First, the aerial parts of plant in blooming were collected from Tehran, Alborz, Hamedan and Kermanshah provinces in mid-June to mid-August 2016. The essential oils were extracted by hydro-distillation clevenger device and were analysed by using GC/MS. The results were showed that the effect of population on leaf and flower essential oil was significant (P<0.01) which seems to be due to geographical factors and type of climate. According to the results, 50 compounds were identified in the flower and leaf essential oils of the populations, of which 13 compounds had the highest frequency among the populations and the highest percentage in the leaf and flower essential oils. Based on the principal component analysis and cluster analysis, populations 1, 2, 9, 3 and 5 had the highest composition of flower essential oil, while populations 4, 8 and 10 had the weakest values for most essential oil compounds. Populations 6, 7, 11 and 12 also had moderate amounts of compounds in flower essential oil. However, for leaf essential oil, populations 1, 2, 6, 3, 5 and 10 had the highest essential oil composition, while population 4 had the weakest values for most essential oil compounds and only had a high amount of cubenol. Populations 9, 12, 7, 8 and 11 also had moderate amounts of compounds in leaf essential oil. Population grouping based on their phytochemical assessment did not match their geographical distribution. However, areas with higher E, Z-geranyl acetate،ß-eudesmol and cubenol levels in flowers and leaves had average annual rainfall and higher altitude, average sunshine, and lower annual temperatures (populations 4 and 1). While in areas where populations had higher levels of α-cadinene in flowers, they had the highest average relative humidity, the lowest rainfall and annual temperature. Population 1 had the highest amount of flower ß-eudesmol and was one of the populations that showed a positive correlation between the amount of flower and leaf essential oil and essential oil components. As a result, the best population in the natural habitat was population 1. Manuscript profile

        شترها به عنوان کشتی­های صحرا شناخته شده و کاربردهای مختلفی در جهان دارند. برآورد پارامترهای ژنتیکی نخستین گام در مدیریت منابع ژنتیکی برای حفاظت و استفاده مناسب از آنها است. نشانگرهای ریزماهواره به­ طور وسیعی در گاو، گوسفند، بُز و شتر به کار گرفته شده­اند. ولی مطالعات صورت گرفته در زمینه تعیین خصوصیات ژنتیکی بر روی شترها اندک است. افزایش سریعی در حجم داده­های مولکولی حاصل از جمعیت­های شتر بومی مشاهده می­شود. این موضوع حاکی از آن است که سطح آگاهی از این موضوع در جوامع علمی مناسب است. بر مبنای مطالعات صورت گرفته در استرالیا، کنیا، عربستان سعودی، جزایر قناری، هندوستان، مصر و تونس، تنوع ژنتیکی نشانگرهای ریزماهواره در شترها از سطح بالایی برخوردار است. برای یافتن داده­های هتروزیگوسیتی مفید توصیه می­شود که نشانگرهای ریزماهواره YWLL08، YWLL09، YWLL38، YWLL44، YWLL59، VOLP30، VOLP08، VOLP10، VOLP32، VOLP67، LCA66، CVRL01، CVRL05، CVRL06، CVRL07 و CMS50 استفاده گردد. این نشانگرها سطح بالایی از غنای آللی و محتوای اطلاعات چند‌شکلی را نشان می­دهند. بنابراین آنالیزهای تنوع ژنتیکی بر روی شترها در آینده می­تواند بر مبنای این نشانگرهای بسیار مفید صورت گیرد.

        این مطالعه برای بررسی آنالیز شجره و دراپ ژنی جهت نمایش تنوع ژنتیکی و توصیه یک استراتژی انتخاب برای بهبود وزن سینه در یک جمعیت بلدرچین ژاپنی انجام شد. تعداد 312 پرنده به دو گروه مساوی تقسیم شدند. یک لاین (S1) برای وزن چهار هفتگی بدن بر اساس ارزش‌های اصلاحی و دیگری (S2) برای وزن سینه در چهار هفتگی بر اساس انتخاب بین خانوادگی، انتخاب شدند. توزیع فراوانی‌های آللی حاصل از بنیانگذاران با استفاده از شجره هر لاین در نرم افزار شبیه‌ساز دراپ ژنی تخمین زده شد. نتایج نشان داد بهبود ژنتیکی خالص برای وزن بدن و وزن سینه در لاین‌های S1 و S2 به ترتیب 3/28 و 7/9 گرم در مقابل 3/23 و 8/6 گرم بود. میانگین تعداد آلل‌های باقیمانده برای آخرین نسل لاین‌های S1 و  S2به ترتیب 6/59 و 2/31 بود که به ترتیب 1/19 و 10 درصد کل آلل‌های اختصاص یافته به جمعیت پایه هر لاین بود. می‌توان نتیجه‌گیری نمود که برای تداوم پاسخ به انتخاب جهت بهبود وزن سینه، انتخاب غیر مستقیم وزن بدن بر اساس ارزش‌های اصلاحی قابل توصیه است. نتایج حاصل از آنالیز دراپ ژنی آشکار نمود که در این تحقیق انتخاب بین خانوادگی پیشرفت ژنتیکی بیشتر و تنوع ژنتیکی باقیمانده بیشتری نسبت به انتخاب انفرادی بر اساس ارزش‌های اصلاحی ندارد.

        Tea (Camellia sinensis(L.) O. Kuntze) is one of most important crop in north of Iran, Today’s, many of these plants are at risk of disappearing therefore having information about genetic of them can help in designing of breeding programs. In this study, 30 tea bushes by using 21 quantitative and qualitative traits related to the leaves and stems of the tea plant was analyzed for genetic diversity using on Gower distances coefficient and UPGMA algorithm. The results of data analysis showed that all the selected tea samples were morphologically similar to each other, although some of them showed small and slight differences in some characteristics, but overall they did not have significant differences. Based on the obtained data, the difference between the studied samples ranged from 0.048 to 0.499 with an average of 0.265. In order to determine the relationship of the examined genotypes and grouping them based on the morphological traits in cluster analysis at the distance coefficient of 0.29, the examined samples were grouped into four main groups. According to the way of grouping, it was observed that the distribution of the studied samples does not follow a specific pattern and does not match with the geographical distribution. According to the results of the present research, it is confirmed that morphological analyzes in tea can be used successfully to determine genetic diversity and relationship. The results of this study open a window to deal with the old problem of classification and identification of tea in Iran. Manuscript profile

        Background & Objectives: Azospirillum comprises rhizobacteria that live freely in the soil where they change gaseous nitrogen to nitrite and nitrate and as a result promote growth and yield of some economically important plants. This study aimed to isolate and identify different native species of Azospirillum and to investigate their genetic diversity as plant growth-promoting factors. Materials & Methods: In this research, some soil and root samples from wheat and maize fields of Isfahan province were collected and cultured in the tubes containing nitrogen-free bromothymol blue (NFB) semisolid media. The Azospirillum isolates were chosen based on morphological properties on NFB and RC (Rojo Congo) media and then were purified. The detection and identification of Azospirillum isolates was done by molecular tests using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and genomic fingerprinting with rep-PCR (repetitive extragenic palindromic elements-polymerase chain reaction). Results: The replication of 646 and 263 bp fragments by specific primers, confirmed the presence of Azospirilum bacteria. Azospirillum species were also identified as A. brasilense, A. lipoferum, and A. zeae using replication and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The genomic profiling of different Azospirillum isolates produced unique band patterns through application of repetitive element BOX (BOX-AIR), ERIC (Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus), and REP and showed high genetic diversity between the isolates. Conclusion: According to this study, the Azospirillum isolates of wheat and maize fields of Isfahan province have different species and genetic diversity and band patterns amplified using rep-PCR can be useful for diagnosis and classification of Azospirillum species.

        Background & Objectives: β -lactamase -producing E. coli is the most important agent causing   urinary tract infections both in community and hospitals. Strain typing including MLVA and PFGE are the most common epidemiologically   tools not only for detecting the cross transmission of nosocomial pathogens but also for determining the source of infection.Materials and methods: The present study was carried of for comparison of discriminatory power of MLVA and PFGE methods. A Total of 230 isolates of E. coli from patients with urinary tract infections were examined for identifying and antimicrobial susceptibility testing MLVA and PFGE methods were used for molecular typing of all isolates.Results: Out of 230 isolates, 130 ( 56.5%) β -lactamase -producing E. coli isolates were found in this study. The diversity indices of the VNTR loci showed an average diversity of 0.48 and 0.54 for 7-loci and 10-loci respectively. The discriminatory power of PFGE showed a value of 0.87. Conclusion: Our study showed that PFGE is more discriminatory than MVLA. MLVA is a     PCR- based method and generates unmistakable data, in contrast to PFGE. Optimization of      polymorphic VNTR is essential to improve the discriminatory power of MLVA basis on  geographical region.  Manuscript profile

        Grapes is one of the most important horticultural products in the world and Iran and has a wide gnetic diversity, so the purpose of this research was to investigate of the genetic diversity and to asses of introduced grapes cultivars (Vitis vinifera) at the molecular level using ISSR marker. For DNA extraction, it was used modified method of Doyle and Doyle and at the next step, 12 genotypes were examined by 12 primers. Cluster analysis was performed by PopGen32 and SPSS9 softwares. The resulted clustering were divided cultivars into 5 groups by both softwares. In analyzing data, the percentage of polymorphism and the number of polymorphic loci were obtained 96.49 percent and 55 respectively. Cophenetic coefficient is 0.8 for Jaccard coefficient and straw, is indicating a fine fit between the dendrogram and the main similarity matrix. The bands that were Obviously visible were reviewed. Results showed that 353 bands were generated by the markers totally. The size of bands was various between 200 and 3000 bp. The highest similarity was 0.619 for number one (sabz Shah Pasand) and number 7 (currants Khalili Ghouchan) varieties and the least one was 0.205 for number10 (Pir Golli 2) and number 2 (Kashmar Mall) varieties. Because the most amount of bond were observed by primer a (56 bands), this primers was able to determine the genetic gap of Primerrelated varieties better than other primers. Manuscript profile

        Drought stress and iron (Fe) deficiency are abiotic stress factors limiting crop production and its quality, especially in rainfed areas. With the aim of evaluation of genotypic variation for Fe efficiecny, 121 barley genotypes during the growing season of 2015-2016, a research farm was carried out at the agricultural research institute of the dryland (Maragheh) were studied under rainfed field conditions. . The experiment was conducted in square lattice. Based on ANOVA, there was significant differences among genotypes for seed Fe concentartion and content traits. The high range of variation for these traits showed that there is a great genotypic variation among barley genotypes. The existance of high general heritability (h2) for seed Fe concentration and content could be helpful in breeding for these traits under different environments. Seed Fe concentration had significant and positive correlation (r=0.63**) with seed Fe content. In short, the result of this study revealed the great genotypic variation among barley genotypes for Fe absorption and accumulation in seed. Moreover, the efficient genotypes could alleviate drought stress that will result in higher grain yield with Fe-dense grains under cold dryland conditions. Manuscript profile

        The development of food conversion industries has revealed the necessity of increasing the production of durum wheat in the country and, on the other hand, environmental stresses are responsible for decreasing the yield of crops. In order to compare 12 advanced durum wheat lines in drought tolerance, a randomized complete blocks design with four replications in two conditions (without irrigation and supplemental irrigation) in the crop year 1393-94 at Gachsaran dryland research station were conducted and morpho-physiological traits such as plant height, spike length, peduncle length, grain filling period, number of plants per square meter, 1000 seed weight and grain yield were evaluated. Results showed that all assessed traits in genotypes (except peduncle length) showed a different reaction to supplementary and without irrigation conditions, which indicates high genetic diversity among studied genotypes. Regarding most traits, Ter line was the most susceptible genotype to drought in both supplementary and without irrigation conditions. Regarding to GMP and STI indices, Ter, Icajihan and Aghrass lines were the most susceptible genotypes. Cluster analysis in both supplementary and without irrigation conditions classified lines into four groups, but tolerated lines did not get together. In general, according to yield and tolerance indices, Icajihan line was the most suitable genotype for cultivation in non-irrigated conditions. Manuscript profile

        For study the genetic diversity of Aloe germplasm and identify the classification and relationship of germplasm collections and exploiting them in breeding programs, Thirty three Aloe accessions were collected. These accessions were including 31 wild genotypes and 2 commercial genotypes. Shoot tip explants were washed and sterile. Then, were inoculated on solid MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mgl-1 benzyl adenine + 0.5 mgl-1 α-naphthalene acetic acid and sub-cultured on the same medium for plantlet production and propagation once every four weeks. Plantlets were grown in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications in greenhouse. After six months, 18 morphological traits were measured and analyzed. Morphological analysis indicated that all the studied various characters have a significant difference at P < 0.01 among Aloe accessions. Also comparison of the means (Duncan’s test) for the genotypes was performed. Maximum amounts for most traits was related to genotype 29 which suggests the potential of this genotype for further studies. The results of orthogonal comparisons between genotypes of wild or native genotypes in a group and the control group showed that the genotypes for most morphological traits studied, there was no significant difference. Cluster analysis indicated that all accessions were divided into three major groups. There were commercial accessions in the third group, and the best wild accession (number of 29) was in this group that is representing high potential of this genotype. Manuscript profile

        Mitochondrial genome sequencing is one of the most used method in the mammalian phylogenetic relationships studies. Such researches mostly focus on intraspecific divergence, prioritization of protective measures, and investigation on the species origin, refugium theory and other studies. Many investigations have been focused on Gazelles in Iran and other parts. Most studies agree on the existence of three species of the Gazella genus, yet there is still much debate about the status of different populations and phylogenetic relationship of the species in different habitats. In this study, we have tried to investigate on the phylogenetic status of the genus in the central plateau populations including Yazd, Isfahan and Kerman. Our results indicated that the populations in the Yazd Province show the most phylogenetic divergence in comparing with Isfahan and Kerman populations. Our results showed that overall genetic diversity of the central plateau is relatively low. With regard to the sample size, we believe that the obtained results should be interpret with caution Manuscript profile

        Genotype safflower is scattered throughout the world from India and China to Africa and Europe. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between plant yield, yield components and morphological traits, as well as accurate recognition of traits affecting the yield on 32 safflower genotypes in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch. Among the studied genotypes, there was a significant difference in all studied traits such as plant yield, 1000-seed weight, number of branches, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, flowering time, flowering time, plant height and flowering time until there was an examination that indicated a high diversity in the germplasm studied. Among the yield components, the most heritability was attributed to 1000 seed weight and number of branches, and the lowest heritability was attributed to plant yield, which indicates that indirect modification of yield would be more beneficial. Plant height and number of branches can be used as an index of selection in breeding programs. Cluster analysis based on morphological traits categorized genotypes into five clusters. Based on the results of this study, it can be stated that by improving the traits of boll weights and number of bolls per plant, it is possible to achieve the desired grain yield in safflower genotypes.

        Abstract: In order to investigate phenotypic and genotypic correlations between physiological characteristics related to drought tolerance and genetic variation and estimating the genetic parameters of these indices in rain-fed condition, 19 genotypes of bread wheat were cultivated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the research field of Agricultural Research Campus Natural Resources of Razi University of Kermanshah, Iran during 2014-15. analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences for the grain yield (YS), the cell membrane stability )CMS), the relative water loss )RWL(, the leaf water loss (LWL), the relative water protective (RWP), the water use efficiency )WUE( and the leaf greenish value )LGV( under rain-fed condition. The polygon view of GT biplot showed that genotype no. 12 (wc-4931) was the best genotype compared to other genotypes due to YS, WUE, ELWR and LGV. A high positive genetic and phenotypic relation was observed between WUE and Ys, FV/FM and LWL and, ELWR and LGV. In other hand, High heritability and genetic gain were observed for YS, CMS and WUE that reflect the additive gene action. Accordingly, due to the high propotion of additive effects in CMS, YS and WUE, it was suggested that the evaluation of genotypes must be done at erarly generarion of inbreeding. Manuscript profile

        The present experiment was carried out to study the effect of planting date on yield and yield componts of some faba bean genotypes in a split plot based on Complete Randomized Block Design with three replicates in Guilan province during 2014-15 growing season. The main factor was four planting dates (20 November, 19 December, 5 January and 1 March) and the split factor was six faba bean genotypes (Guilan landrace, Borojerd landrace, France, Barrakat, FILIP3 and FILIP5). The effect of planting date was significant on all of the studied traits. The effect of genotype was also significant on all traits exept of days to maturity and relative water content. Interactions of two factors were significant on seed yield, number of days to emergence, hundred seed weight, number of seeds per pod and number of pods per plant. The highest ripening time of seeds (175.22 days) was observed in the first planting date and this time in the last planting date was reduced by 42%. Due to the significant interaction of genotype by sowing date, the simple effect of genotype was investigated at each level of sowing date and it was shown that in all four sowing dates, Gilan landrace had the highest grain yield with 3208.04, 1858, 110.8, 605.2 kg ha-1, respectively. Delay in planting incrased the seed nitrogen content by 22%. According to the results of present study and due to climatic ondition, early November is considered as an appropriate time for planting faba beans in the studied area. Manuscript profile

        The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are very important in horse breeding according to relationship with immunity response and resistance or susceptibility to disease. The aim of this research is study of polymorphism possible in exon gene region and population genetics. To do this, 120 horses were selected randomly from Thoroughbred, Oldenburg, Caspian pony and Arab breeds. Genomic DNA was extracted via blood samples and polymerase chain reaction was done for a 309 bp MHC gene region. The PCR products were digested by RsaI restriction endonuclease for genotyping determination. Results show that there were three allele of A, B and C and six types of genotype of AA, AB, AC, BB, BC and CC with 0.3208, 0.3208 and 0.3584 allele frequency and 0.05, 0.25, 0.2917, 0.1333, 0.125 and 0.15 genotype frequency in all studied samples respectively. The most and least allele frequency in Thoroughbred, Oldenburg, Caspian pony and Arab are related to B, A, A, C and A, B, B, A alleles respectively. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium study by X2 and G2 tests shows the equilibrium situation in Oldenburg and Caspian pony breeds and non-equilibrium situation in Thoroughbred and Arab breeds. The overall results shows that the genetic diversity in studied samples can be used as a resource for horse breeding programs. Manuscript profile
