A novel set of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed and characterized from the expressed sequence tag (EST) database of Liriodendron tulipifera for application in population genetic studies of Liriodendron.
Thirty-nine polymorphic EST-SSR loci were identified among 27 individuals sampled from a cultivated population of L. tulipifera. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 18. The average observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity were 0.684 and 0.778, respectively. Of the 39 loci, 32 showed interspecific transferability and polymorphism in a related species, L. chinense. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 11, and the average observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity were 0.475 and 0.736, respectively.
The developed EST-SSR markers will be useful for investigating adaptive genetic differentiation in Liriodendron.
从鹅掌楸(Liriodendron tulipifera)的表达序列标签(EST)数据库中开发和鉴定了一组新的简单重复序列(SSR)标记,用于鹅掌楸种群遗传研究。
从鹅掌楸人工栽培群体中随机抽取的 27 个个体中鉴定出 39 个多态性 EST-SSR 位点。每个位点的等位基因数范围为 3 至 18。平均观测杂合度和期望杂合度分别为 0.684 和 0.778。在 39 个位点中,有 32 个在相关物种杂种鹅掌楸(L. chinense)中表现出种间转移和多态性。每个位点的等位基因数范围为 2 至 11,平均观测杂合度和期望杂合度分别为 0.475 和 0.736。
开发的 EST-SSR 标记将有助于研究鹅掌楸的适应性遗传分化。
