Recognition of plant genetic resources, investigation of ecological and morphological condition and determination of geographical location of the plant species as well as implementation of research projects on conservation and protection of these resources with the use of different conservation technices seems to have a special importance. In this research, the geographical location and distribution of tree and shrubs of Markazi province were determined with GPS and recorded in digital map as a segment with 1/50000 scale and then polygonized. Gegraphic information system (GIS) and ilwis academic software were applied on mapping the tree and shrubs species distribution with two form of polygon and point maps. Different ecological parameters of the species such as sampling location, species distribution in defferent township, latitude and longitude of the species habitats, soil types depth and pH, tree and shrubs height, slop percentage of sampling area,… as well as morphological parameters such as plant diameter, plant form,. Stem, branch leaf, leaflet, flower, fruit, seed and charactristics such as color, size and etc were recorded and measured for 12 species with the first priorities such as pistacia atlantica, Pistacia khinjuke, Nitraria shobiri, Rus cororaria, Quercus persica, Amygdalus scoparia, Lonicer Nummulariifolia, Berberris Integrrima, Cerataegus Zsovitsii, Cerataegus Pseudoheterophylla, Creatagous Atrosanguinea. In parallel the seeds of plants were collected during the proper time and after cleaning and drying labelled and were sent to gen bank of institute of forest and rangeland of Iran for keeping and further assesment. In this research a list of tree and shrubs of markazi province also were prepared. And 44 area were recognized as geographic distribution of tree and surubs genetic resources.
