Revision of Crataegus monogyna Jacq.(Rosaceae) populations using RAPD marker in Iran
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Crataegus monogyna, belongs to Rosaceae family and known as common hawthorn or single-seeded hawthorn. Crataegus monogyna is often divided into several infraspecefic taxa and or two or more species. Two varieties of this species is represented in Iran, Crataegus monogyna var. monogyna from northwest and Crataegus monogyna var. lasiocarpa from Hyrcanian region. In this survey 10 populations of C. monogyna have been studied using RAPD marker for classification of taxonomic relationship. Clustering analysis of RAPD data showed that a population is very differ from others and so It has long shoot thorn (about 4 cm cv. Type species with up to 2.5 cm) . It is reported as a new variety “ Crataegus monogyna var. mazandaranica “for the first time from Ira

Effect of water repellent soil layer and its placement in soil columns on water infiltration
Soil water infiltration and its characteristics are important in water management both in agriculture and hydrology. Water repellency (WR) of soil, a phenomenon that often occurs in forest soils, reduces infiltration g...
