Abstract EN
The objective of present study was identification of genetic similarity between wild Iran and captive Azerbaijan Pheasant using PCR-RAPD markers.
For this purpose, in overall, 28 birds were taken for DNA extraction and subsequently 15 arbitrary primers were applied for PCR-RAPD technique.
After electrophoresis, five primers exhibited sufficient variability which yielded overall 65 distinct bands, 59 polymorphic bands, for detalis, range of number of bands per primer was 10 to 14, and produced size varied between 200 to 1500 bp.
Highest and lowest polymorphic primers were OPC5, OPC16 (100%) and OPC15 (81%), respectively.
Result of genetic variation between two groups was accounted as nonsignificant (8.12%) of the overall variation.
According to our expectation the wild Iranian birds showed higher genetic diversity value than the Azerbaijan captive birds.
As general conclusion, two pheasant populations have almost same genetic origin and probably are subpopulations of one population.
The data reported herein could open the opportunity to search for suitable conservation strategy to improve richness of Iran biodiversity and present study here was the first report that might have significant impact on the breeding and conservation program of Iranian pheasant gene pool.
Analyses using more regions, more birds, and more DNA markers will be useful to confirm or to reject these findings.
