Construction of a genetic linkage map using simple sequence repeat markers from expressed sequence tags for cassava (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Manihot esculenta</Emphasis> Crantz)

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an economically important crop that is grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Use of molecular technology for genetic improvement of cassava has been limited by the lack of a large set of DNA markers and a genetic map. Therefore, the aims here were to develop additional simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from the public expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and to construct a genetic linkage map. In this study, we designed 425 EST-SSR markers from sequences obtained from the cassava EST database in GenBank, and integrated them with 667 SSR markers from a microsatellite-enriched genomic sequence received from the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). Of these, 107 EST-SSR and 500 genomic SSR primer pairs showed polymorphic patterns when screened in two cassava varieties, Hauy Bong 60 and Hanatee, which were used as female and male parental lines, respectively. Within the 107 and 500 primer pairs, 81 and 226 EST-SSR and SSR primer pairs were successfully genotyped with 100 samples of F₁ progeny, respectively. The results showed 20 linkage groups consisting of 211 markers—56 EST-SSR and 155 SSR markers—spanning 1,178 cM, with an average distance between markers of 5.6 cM and about 11 markers per linkage group. These novel EST-SSR markers provided genic PCR-based co-dominant markers that were useful, reliable and economical. The EST-SSRs were used together with SSR markers to construct the cassava genetic linkage map which will be useful for the identification of quantitative trait loci controlling the traits of interest in cassava breeding programs.     

Development and use of EST-SSR markers for assessing genetic diversity in the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål)

To assess genetic diversity in populations of the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens St?l) (Homoptera: Delphacidae), we have developed and applied microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR), markers from expressed sequence tags (ESTs). We found that the brown planthopper clusters of ESTs were rich in SSRs with unique frequencies and distributions of SSR motifs. Three hundred and fifty-one EST-SSR markers were developed and yielded clear bands from samples of four brown planthopper populations. High cross-species transferability of these markers was detected in the closely related planthopper N. muiri. The newly developed EST-SSR markers provided sufficient resolution to distinguish within and among biotypes. Analyses based on SSR data revealed host resistance-based genetic differentiation among different brown planthopper populations; the genetic diversity of populations feeding on susceptible rice varieties was lower than that of populations feeding on resistant rice varieties. This is the first large-scale development of brown planthopper SSR markers, which will be useful for future molecular genetics and genomics studies of this serious agricultural pest.     

Development of EST SSRs in Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana ssp coracana) and their Transferability to Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum)

EST-SSR markers were developed using sequence information from 1740 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of finger millet available in the public domain. A set of 31 SSR markers were synthesized based on di, tri, tetra and penta-nucleotide repeat sequences. These were used for PCR analysis of 11 elite germplasm lines of finger millet of Indian and African origin. Out of 31 SSR markers, amplification products were obtained for 17 primer pairs. Of these nine were found polymorphic with two alleles per locus. These 17 SSR primer pairs were also tested for amplification in three varieties of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) and 11 could be transferred to pearl millet. The informative EST SSR markers developed, can be used in finger millet as well as pearl millet genetic improvement projects.     

普通小麦Genomic-SSR和EST-SSR分子标记遗传差异及其与系谱遗传距离的比较研究

采用Genomic-SSR和EST—SSR标记技术,对来自我国北方冬麦区的18份普通小麦品种(系)的遗传多样性进行了探讨,并与系谱遗传距离进行了比较分析。研究发现,平均每个Genomic—SSR检测到的等位基因数为3．34个,明显高于EST-SSR的2．31个。遗传距离(GD)计算结果显示,18个小麦基因型之间的EST—SSR平均遗传距离较小,仅为0．3996,低于Genomic—SSR的GD平均值0．5458。尽管EST-SSR揭示出的多态性明显低于Genomic-SSR,但系谱分析和聚类结果均表明,与Genomic—SSR相比,EST—SSR标记能更准确地反映出不同小麦基因型之间的遗传和亲缘关系。据此可以认为,EST—SSR是评价小麦遗传多样性的一种理想标记形式。研究还证实,一个骨干亲本与由其衍生出来的品种(系)之间的遗传差异一般较小,并对拓宽普通小麦遗传基础的策略和方法进行了讨论。     

Identification and development of polymorphic EST-SSR markers by sequence alignment in pepper, Capsicum annuum (Solanaceae)

? Premise of the study: The redundancies in expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in the National Center for Biotechnology Information sequence database were used to identify and develop polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for pepper (Capsicum annuum). ? Methods and Results: Sixty-eight polymorphic SSR loci were identified in the contigs (containing redundant ESTs) generated by assembling 118060 pepper ESTs from the public sequence database. Thirty-three SSR markers exhibited polymorphism among 31 pepper varieties, with alleles per SSR marker ranging from two to six. The mean observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.28 and 0.39, respectively. There were 18 SSR markers with a motif repeat number of less than five, accounting for 55% of the total. ? Conclusions: We demonstrated the value of mining the redundant sequences in public sequence databases for the development of polymorphic SSR markers, which can be used for marker-assisted breeding in pepper.     

EST-SSR markers derived from Laminaria digitata and its transferable application in Saccharina japonica

The public availability of numerous expressed sequence tag (EST) enables EST-based SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers to be widely used for genetics and breeding studies. In the present study, EST-SSR markers were developed from ESTs of Laminaria digitata and were transferred to the non-congeneric species Saccharina japonica. Among the 2,668 non-redundant ESTs, 83 (3.1%) ESTs containing SSR were identified totally, with an average of one SSR per 13.6 kb. Analysis of SSR motifs revealed that the trinucleotide and tetranucleotide were major motifs, accounted for 44.58% and 16.87%, respectively. Based on the 83 ESTs containing SSR, we designed 45 pairs of primers in the flanking regions of the SSR, of which 13 pairs showed polymorphism in a wild S. japonica population, and the mean alleles per locus was 3.6 (ranging from 2 to 6). The observed (Ho) and expected (He) heterozygosities of these EST-SSRs were 0.234–0.632 and 0.260–0.635, respectively. All loci were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in the wild population and no linkage disequilibrium was detected among loci. The obtained EST-SSR markers can facilitate and promote related research such as ecological investigation, genetic diversity assessment and breeding practice of S. japonica as well.     

Genetic diversity of Eucalyptus hybrids estimated by genomic and EST microsatellite markers

The knowledge of breeding impacts on the genetic diversity of hybrids of Eucalyptus is crucial to the exploration of genetic resources. We estimated genetic polymorphic parameters of 112 hybrids of Eucalyptus spp. using 10 genomic simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers and 10 expressed sequence tags (EST) microsatellite markers. According to Student’s t-test, there were no significant differences between genomic SSR and EST-SSR markers. Our results also revealed high polymorphism in the hybrids analyzed, indicating that both markers are appropriate for use in genetic breeding programs.     

Development of ten microsatellite markers for <Emphasis Type="Italic">Quercus mongolica</Emphasis> var. <Emphasis Type="Italic">crispula</Emphasis> by database mining

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the NCBI dbEST database were surveyed to identify potential SSR markers for Quercus mongolica. In total, 2,691 gene sequences, mainly from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for Q. robur and Q. petraea had been registered. Twenty-two PCR primers were designed for SSRs in these sequences and screened for polymorphisms in 16 Q. mongolica trees. Ten loci were easily genotyped and showed polymorphism, with numbers of alleles and expected heterozygosity ranging from 3 to 15 and 0.28 to 0.94, respectively. These EST-SSR markers should be useful for studying the genetic diversity of Quercus species.
