Abstract
Knowledge about the amount of genetic diversity and understanding relationship between species and landraces is an important step in plant germplasm conservation. In this study, within and between genetic diversity of 17 dill landraces (Anethum graveolens L.) from different areas of Iran was evaluated using five ISSR markers. In total, 29 polymorphic bands were generated. The average of polymorphism was 54.7%. The highest and the lowest values of Polymorphic Information Contents were 0.46 for ((CA)8G primer) and 0.40 for ((AG)8T primer), respectively, and with an average of 0.43. Based on the highest and the lowest indices of Polymorphic Loci (0.392 and 0.248), expected heterozygosity (93.10 and 62.07) and shannon's Information Index (0.567 and 0.360) between all populations, the highest and lowest genetic diversity was detected among Ardebil and Azarshahr genotypes, respectively. The genetic dissimilarity matrix showed that Sari and Kerman populations had the highest genetic distance and Ardabil and Borazjan populations had the lowest ones. Partitioning variations within and between populations, using an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), showed that 12% of the total genetic variation existed between growing regions. Cluster analysis based on UPGMA method showed a poor relationship between genetic distance and the geographical grouping of dills.

Abstract
The medicinal plant, Trachyspermum ammi is a rich source of active pharmaceutical ingredients with pharmaceutics effects. Microsatellite markers play a key role in the genome and gene expression, especially in secondary metabolite biosynthesis in medicinal plants. For the first time, transcriptome sequencing of this herb medicine was carried out to identify the microsatellite markers of this species. After pair-end sequencing with the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform, the quality of the reads was evaluated by FastQC software, trimming was performed by Trimmomatic software and De novo assembly was done with Trinity software. In this study, 11,468 unitranscripts (7913 unigenes) were found to contain 13593 potential microsatellites. The most abundant microsatellite types were di-nucleotide (67%) and tri-nucleotide (24%). Also, six repeated SSRs were the most abundant repeats. The predominant sequence was AG / CT (31%). Sixty-five percent of SSRs were belonged to class II (10-20 nucleotides) and 35% to class I (more than 20 nucleotides). The frequency of SSRs found to be approximately one per 10.1 kB of assembled sequence. More than 57 percent of unigenes containing SSRs were blasted with carrot genome. This showed that T. ammi was an Apiaceae family member and had a high similarity to the carrot genome. A total of 3437 unigenes (43%) were categorized functionally, which among them 2,219 unigenes (64.6%) belonged to the "metabolic process" category and 71 unigenes (1.2%) were assigned to the "secondary metabolic process". In this study, 12 genes were detected in the terpenoid backbone biosynthesis pathway, that their transcripts were containing a microsatellite. These SSRs probably contribute to the genes expression and the biosynthesis of metabolites, especially secondary metabolites. The development of these markers can be used for future studies of marker-assisted selection, genetic diversity and construct genetic maps in this medicinal plant.

Abstract
The study of the genetic structure controlling agronomic traits is one of the preconditions for selecting the appropriate breeding method. In order to analyze genetic of some agronomic traits of bread wheat using generation mean analysis, parents and different generations resulting from the cross of Marvdasht × MV-17 wheat cultivars were assessed in a randomized complete block design with three replicates under normal and terminal drought stress conditions in Research Farm of Razi University (Iran) during 2015-2016 cropping season. Based on the results of weighted ANOVA, a significant difference was observed between different generations for most of the studied traits under both conditions. Generations mean analysis revealed that in addition to the additive and dominance gene effects, a variety of epistatic effects also played a role in the inheritance of most traits, and therefore cannot hope for the success of selection in first generations. The role of additive gene effect was greater than the dominance one for plant height, peduncle length and awn length, indicating usefulness of using recurrent selection to aggregate these genes followed by selecting lines with favorable agronomic characteristics. The model of genetic control for most of the traits was similar under both conditions in terms of the presence or absence of non-allelic interactions and it has not been widely affected by drought stress. The broad-sense heritability for plant height, peduncle length and awn length was estimated to be high under both conditions. The broad-sense heritability for kernel yield was moderate estimated under both conditions, but the narrow-sense heritability was very low. In general, considering the greater role of the non-additive gene effect for most of the traits, the selection is suggested in advanced generations and after access to a high level of gene fixation.

Abstract
Genetic diversity is key to breeding programs and increasing selection efficiency. In this study, 19 promising advanced lines (F7 generation) along with two cultivars, Dalgan and, RGS003 were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in three experimental field stations (Gorgan, Sari and, Zabol) during the 2020–2021 growing season. The highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variations was found for number of lateral branches and number of pods per plant, respectively. The highest broad sense heritability was estimated for days to end of flowering, and days to start of flowering and the lowest broad sense heritability was estimated for the plant height. The genotypes G16, G18, G15, G1, G2, G5, and G20 with a higher SIIG values as well as a higher seed yield above average were introduced as superior genotypes with respect to yield and other agronomic traits. Therefore, these genotypes can be used for further testing, including adaptation tests. Also, the results of factor analysis and genetic correlation coefficients indicated a positive relationship between number of lateral branches, number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod with seed yield and seed yield. Generally, it can be concluded that number of lateral branches, number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod traits could be used as the appropriate criteria to select for increasing seed yield in rapeseed breeding programs.

Abstract
Tomato is the second important vegetable in the world. Therefore, disclosure the germplasm variation as a precursor for its breeding is highly valuable. The study was conducted to assess the genetic diversity in a collection of tomato germplasm including previously cultivated cultivars, currently being cultivated and promising tomato lines in Iran. Polymorphism analysis between cultivars was performed via 20 CBDP primers. The primers amplified 406 genomic fragments, of which 215 bands showed polymorphism and the average percentage of polymorphism was 51%. The average index of polymorphic information content (PIC) and resolving power (Rp) were estimated as 0.30 and 4.49, respectively, which indicated the relatively appropriate efficiency of the primers' used. The genetic distance between the pairs of studied cultivars according to the Jaccard Coefficient ranged from 0.16 to 0.54 and its average was estimated as 0.38. The lowest and highest genetic distance were observed in Matin and Sana with a value of 0.16 and Hypeel 303 and 693 with a value of 0.54, respectively. Cluster analysis based on the Jaccard distance coefficient and the Neighbor Joining algorithm divided the cultivars into five groups. It is relatively consistence with the results of the analysis to the principal coordinates which showed that the first two components explained 15.04% of the total changes. In conclusion, this research showed that there is to some extent low genetic diversity among the Tomato's cultivars in Iran, while the primers which used revealed the polymorphism between them competently and separated them thoroughly. Based on the indices calculated to evaluate the efficiency of primers, CBDP18 and CBDP12 primers showed better efficiency in differentiating the studied genotypes. Based on these results, the use of diverse genetic resources and development of new varieties is necessary to mitigate vulnerability and the risk of epidemic disease such as fungal pathogens in tomato cultivation.
