This study was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity of Iranian camels using mitochondrial DNA. A fragment of 1052 bp cyt-b was amplified and sequenced in 120 individuals from four camel populations. The results revealed that there are 30 mutations for Bactrian camels and 9 mutations for dromedaries that lead to nine and six mtDNA haplotyp...

The objective of this study was to consider endocannabinoid system as inflammatory markers in bovine endometrium to better understand the role of this system in regulating many of the functions that are related to inflammatory condition. At day 26 post-partum, fourteen cows were divided into two groups depending on the inflammatory condition: 1-sub...

Mitochondrial DNA has been one of the most widely used molecular markers for phylogenetic studies in animals because of its simple genomic structure. This study examines the genetic characteristic of domestic goat using sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COXI) to identify and differentiate among three common breeds...

Phylogenetic relationships and genetic variation between two Iranian sheep breeds were analyzed using cytochrome b (cyt-b) gene sequences. The genomic DNA was isolated by salting out method and amplified cytochrome b gene using polymerase chain reaction restriction (PCR) method with a pair of primer. A par-tial sequence of cyt-b gene of Iranian she...

An important question about genomic evaluation is the effectiveness of using superior animals as reference population, on the accuracy of estimated breeding values of selection candidates. In this research, the accuracy of genomic evaluation is selecting superior animals as reference population (strategy1) was compared to situations in which the an...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of the integrated application of nitrogen fertilizer and biofertilizers on the yield, grain filling period, and composition of fatty acids of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius).
