Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were derived from transcriptomic data for (Hydrocharitaceae), a species comprising five endemic and highly endangered varieties in China.
Sixteen novel SSR markers were developed for var. . One to eight alleles per locus were found, with a mean of 2.896. The observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 1.000 and 0.000 to 0.793, respectively. Interestingly, in cross-varietal amplification, 13 out of the 16 loci were successfully amplified in var. , and 12 amplified in each of the other three varieties of .
These newly developed SSR markers will facilitate further study of genetic variation and provide important genetic data needed for appropriate conservation of natural populations of all varieties of .
简单序列重复(SSR)标记是从水鳖科植物(Hydrocharitaceae)的转录组数据中获得的,该物种在中国包含五个特有且高度濒危的变种。
为水鳖变种(Hydrocharis dubia var. japonica)开发了16个新的SSR标记。每个位点发现1至8个等位基因,平均为2.896个。观察到的杂合度和预期杂合度分别在0.000至1.000和0.000至0.793之间。有趣的是,在跨变种扩增中,16个位点中的13个在水鳖变种(Hydrocharis dubia var. tangutorum)中成功扩增,另外三个水鳖变种中的每一个都有12个位点扩增成功。
这些新开发的SSR标记将有助于进一步研究遗传变异,并为妥善保护水鳖所有变种的自然种群提供所需的重要遗传数据。
