Evaluation of genetic diversity in weed dodder (Cuscuta epithymum L) on Northern of Iran by RAPD molecular marker

Weed dodder (Cuscuta epithymum L) is a parasitic vine that attacks the aerial parts of many shrubs, trees, and is used widely in medicine. In this study for first time in Iran, the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was employed for determine genetic diversity of 20 genotype of weed dodder from Golestan and Mazandaran […]

Genetic diversity among different Crataegus azarolus L. populations using RAPD markers in Iran

The genus Crataegus azarolus L. is well distributed in Iran as a wild plant, with numerous, inherently variable population and genotypes. In flora of Iran this species is divides into tree independent species, while Christensen believed all of them are varieties of C. azarolus. RAPD markers were used to study 12 hawthorn genotypes belonging to […]

Effect of storage conditions and periods of conservation in gene bank on seed viability and germination of Acacia tortilis and Acacia raddiana

In Egyptian deserts, Acacia tortilis trees play an important role for biodiversity and Bedouins populations, where they used as source of animal fodder, timber, fuel wood, charcoal, gums and other products as well as contributing to soil stabilization of sand dunes. This work aimed to study the effect of storage conditions and storage periods of […]

Effect of physiographic factors on the distribution of wild Almond (Amygdalusorientalis Mill) in West of Iran

Habitat needs and requirement of important species in terms of distribution is necessary for natural resources management. Amygdalusorientalisis one of the forest species in west of Iran for food, industries and environmental protection in different climatic conditions.In this research, the effect of physiographic factors such as land form, aspect, altitude and slope on qualitative and […]

Effects of recreational activities on some stand parameters and biodiversity indicators in Fandoghlou forests, Northwestern Iran

In the current study, the impacts of different intensities of small-scale recreational activities, including no-impacted, slightly impacted, moderately impacted and severely impacted, were analyzed on some stand parameters and forest biodiversity indicators. The study was conducted in the Fandoghlou forest ecosystem in Northwestern Iran. Data was collected by a set of 120 circular plots with […]

Study of the plant diversity in Hyrcanian forest (case study: Lajim forest, Mazandaran province, North of Iran)

Hyrcanian (Caspian) forest in northern Iran has a richness of biological diversity, with endemic and endangered species, and a diverse range of economic and social conditions. The aim of this study is a study of the plant diversity in Lajim forest, Mazandaran province, north of Iran (Hyrcanian forest). In this study 100 circle sample plots […]

Fish composition and structure along longitudinal gradient of a coastal river (Ehania River; south-east of Ivory Coast)

Fish assemblage was examined during the study of longitudinal profile of the Ehania River Basin in south-eastern Côte d’Ivoire. This region is subjected to strong human activities with numerous plantations (palm tree, banana, pineapple, coffee, rubber and cocoa). Samples were collected, with gillnets of different mesh sizes, through 6 sampling surveys during dry and rainy […]
