We developed microsatellite loci for the biomass crop Miscanthus sinensis to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of M. sinensis and its closely related species.
Fourteen microsatellite loci were identified from an enriched genomic library of M. sinensis and tested in one M. sinensis population. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 1 to 15, with a mean of 7.0. The observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.318 to 0.864 and from 0.424 to 0.901, respectively. Of them, 12 primers could be applied to three other species in Miscanthus (M. sacchariflorus, M. floridulus, and M. lutarioriparius).
These markers will be important for further analyzing population genetics and evolutionary history, as well as facilitating molecular breeding of Miscanthus sinensis and its related species.
我们开发了生物质作物芒属的微卫星标记,以研究芒属及其近缘种的遗传多样性和种群结构。
从芒属的富集基因组文库中鉴定出 14 个微卫星位点,并在一个芒属种群中进行了测试。每个位点的等位基因数从 1 到 15 不等,平均值为 7.0。观察到的和预期的杂合度分别从 0.318 到 0.864 和从 0.424 到 0.901 不等。其中,12 个引物可应用于芒属的另外三个种(荻、短芒荻和五节芒)。
这些标记将对进一步分析种群遗传学和进化历史,以及促进芒属及其近缘种的分子育种具有重要意义。
