All loci showed polymorphism. A total number of 54 alleles were recorded across loci ranging from 6 at CnaB-030 to 17 at Ca3. The mean number of alleles per populations ranged from 9.6 in CHD to 8.6 in others. Mean observed heterozygosity at the five loci detected ranged from 0.92 to 1.00 which showed high level of genetic diversity in each population. Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was obvious in most combinations (locus à population), mainly due to heterozygosity excess. The lowest and highest genetic distances were calculated between CHD-KH and CHD-CH populations, respectively. The results showed low but significant FST values between each pair of the populations. This investigation represented at least four separate populations of P. esfahani in the river which showed the effects of river landscape fragmentation on population genetic structure of P. esfahani.https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17542_8583431605ecc9042c8eec2c247004c7.pdfUniversity of IsfahanTaxonomy and Biosystematics3115-900162120141222Phylogenetic comparison of the A genome using karyotype analysis in some Triticum speciesمقایسه فیلوژنتیک ژنوم A در برخی از گونههای جنس Triticum با روش تحلیل کاریوتیپ112017537ENMohammad HoseinEhtemamDepartment of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, IranMohammad RezaRahiminejadDepartment of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IranHojatollahSaeidiFatemehEbrahimDepartment of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, IranJournal Article20160614The Karyotype analysis was performed on 46 wheat accessions belonging to five species (Triticum monococcum, T. urartu, T. durum, T. turgidum and T. aestivum) and two subspecies (T. boeoticum subsp. thaodar and T. boeoticum subsp. boeoticum) carrying A genome. All chromosomal sizes were measured with computer-aided program Micro Measure 3.3. Software. RL, TCL, MCL, arm ratio, centromeric index, TF%, mean of long and short arms, AsI%, S%, DRL, A1, A2 and karyotype formula were calculated for each chromosome. All the accessions were placed in 1A category of stebbines asymmetry categories. The scatter diagram based on A1 and A2 constructed three groups of karyotype asymmetry in the accessions studied: 1- T. aestivum with the highest asymmetrical karyotype, 2- T. monococcum, T. boeoticum subsp. thaodar and T. boeoticum subsp. boeoticum with the lowest asymmetrical karyotype and 3- T. urartu, T. turgidum and T. durum being with an intermediate between the two previous groups. T. monococcum based on the A1 and A2 index (asymmetric index) had the oldest and the most primitive karyotype among diploid species. According to the results, it might be suggested that T. durum is more primitive than T. turgidum and T. monococcum could be considered as a donor of A genome to T. durum and T. aestivum.https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17537_ec6dbd1bf6f19b6368d7ad1e868e1242.pdfUniversity of IsfahanTaxonomy and Biosystematics3115-900162120141222Petiole indumentum types of the genus Alchemilla (Rosaceae) from Iranانواع کُرک دمبرگ جنس Alchemilla از تیره Rosaceae از ایران213017539ENMarzieh BeygomFaghirDepartment of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Guilan, Rasht, IranKobraChaichi KhairkhahDepartment of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Guilan, Rasht, IranRobabehShahi ShavvonDepartment of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Guilan, Rasht, IranJournal Article20160614Petiole indumentum types of 24 species of the genus Alchemilla were studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and digital microscope.

It is located in the semi-dry to cold semi-dry climates. In this research, 227 taxa (species, subspecies and varieties) belonging to 47 families and 166 genera were identified during 2008 through 2009. Among the studied plants, 205 dicots and 21 monocots and one gymnosperm were recognized. Asteraceae (with 30 species) and Lamiaceae (with 26 species) were the largest families followed by Brassicaceae, Caryophylaceae and Fabaceae. Astragalus (with 9 species) and Gallium (with 5 species) were the most diverse genera. Twenty one endemic and 6 rare taxa plus 2 monotypic genera were identified in the studied area. In addition, 11 taxa from northwest of Iran and 29 from west Azarbaijan were reported for the first time. Therophytes (with 36.57%) comprised the most dominant life form, followed by hemicryptophytes (with 27.75%) in this area. From the chorological point of the view, most of the flora has been influenced by the IT (31.53%) and IT-ES (27.49%) elements. The highest proportion of vegetation in this area belonged to bi-tri or pluriregional elements (with 59.01%).https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17535_35ea862bbac1cce2f57979de5b877521.pdfUniversity of IsfahanTaxonomy and Biosystematics3115-900162120141222Notes on Aegilops cylindrica (Triticeae, Poaceae) in Iranیادداشتهایی بر Aegilops cylindrica (Triticeae, Poaceae) در ایران515817541ENSayed ZabihollahHosseiniDepartment of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IranMohammad RezaRahiminejadDepartment of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IranJournal Article20160614The present paper deals with the study of the taxonomy of one hundred accessions of Aegilops cylindica collected all around the country, and also Iranian materials and type specimens and related species housed in the Natural History Museum Vienna (W), the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin (B), were studied morphologically.

Results showed that vascular bundles were next to each other in the stem, the mesophyll was composed of 1-layered palisade and 3-4 layered spongy parenchyma. There were two collateral vascular bundles in the centre and two small subsidary bundles in the corners of petiole and there were 4 small vascular bundles in the bracteole. Five main types of trichomes (peltate, capitate glandular, stellate, unicellular simple and dendroid trichomes) were observed. The capitate trichomes were subdivided into three groups: type 1 (short stalk), type 2 (medium or tri-cellular stalk) and type 3 (long or four-cellular stalk). Stellate trichomes were subdivided into two groups: group 1, sessile or short stalked trichomes and group 2, long stalked trichomes. The dendritic trichomes also were reported for the first time in this species. The pollen grains were tricolpate, relatively large, ovate and the exine ornamentation was reticulate and perforate.https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17545_65306c8b65eac0b15862090cbb8033a6.pdfUniversity of IsfahanTaxonomy and Biosystematics3115-900162120141222Chromosome number reports in Astragalus sect.

It was already introduced as an epiphytic species from some patchy habitats in the lowland parts of Hyrcanian forests. Moreover, Psilotum nudum was reviewed using morphological and anatomical characteristics in two different populations in central parts of Hyrcanian zone. The results showed that there were no significant differences between morphological and anatomical characteristics. The aerial stems of the plant were linear, chlorophyllous, and dichotomously branched. Leaves were much reduced, simple, scale-like, and without ligules. Synangium was composed of 3-locular capsule-like sporangia. Also, stele type in apex aerial stem and aerial stem was actinostele and it was haplostele type in rhizome. In this paper, a new locality of this species growing on the rocky sites was reported in Ata-kuh of Guilan.https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17543_8aeafddbbc0bd11fa1b4355c4e26ef09.pdfUniversity of IsfahanTaxonomy and Biosystematics3115-900162120141222Phenetic relationships among Lolium s.l.

This study was concerned with the phenetic relationships of Lolium s.l. (including Festuca subgen. Schedonorus) using flavonoids spot profiles and quantitative morphological characters. Measurement of morphological characters and densitometry of flavonoids spots and their profile plots were performed by using calibrated digital images and ImageJ software package. Multivariate analyses (clustering and ordination) performed by using NTSYS-pc software package. Each species was described based on its flavonoid spot profile, and Rf values and percentage of each spot in the corresponding profile were reported. Variation in flavonoid spot profiles of Lolium rigidum, L. perenne and Festuca pratensis revealed that flavonoids spot profiles revealed that they may be useful characters for further studying the variations within the species level. Cluster analysis of quantitative morphological characters separated the species in well defined groups and further separated L. persicum population Ardabil from other L. persicum populations. Separation of F. arundinacea populations into two distinct groups was also interesting which suggested that the existence of two forms of this species in Iran is probable.https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17540_326e0b1e57ae759213a808327807367e.pdf
