Transcriptome analysis of potential simple sequence repeat markers in Ammopiptanthus mongolicus

M. Jin, Guo, M. Y., Han, L., Li, J. L., Yang, S. Y., Su, Y. H., Jin, M., Guo, M. Y., Han, L., Li, J. L., Yang, S. Y., and Su, Y. H., Transcriptome analysis of potential simple sequence repeat markers in Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, an evergreen broadleaf legume shrub, can survive under conditions of high and low temperature, extreme salinity, and drought. This attribute makes it an ideal model for studying mechanisms of stress tolerance in plants. However, simple sequence repeat (SSR) resources for this species are insufficient in public databases. In this study, a total of 44,959 unigenes identified from the A. mongolicus transcriptome were used for SSR analysis by MIcroSAtellite (MISA).

Screening potential SSR markers of the anadromous fish Coilia nasus by de novo transcriptome analysis using Illumina sequencing

D. - A. Fang, Zhou, Y. - F., Duan, J. - R., Zhang, M. - Y., Xu, D. - P., Liu, K., Xu, P., and Wei, Q., Screening potential SSR markers of the anadromous fish Coilia nasus by de novo transcriptome analysis using Illumina sequencing, vol. 14, pp. 14181-14188, 2015.

RNA-Seq technology has been widely applied to tran­scriptomics, genomics, molecular marker development, and functional gene studies. In the genome, microsatellites are simple sequence re­peats (SSR) with a high degree of polymorphism that are used as DNA markers in many molecular genetic studies. Using traditional methods such as magnetic bead enrichment, only a few microsatellite markers have been isolated. Coilia nasus is an anadromous, small-to-moder­ately sized fish species that is famous as an important fishery resource.

Genetic diversity of the endemic flat-needle pine Pinus krempfii (Pinaceae) from Vietnam revealed by SSR markers

D. T. Phong, Lieu, T. T., Hien, V. T. T., and Hiep, N. T., Genetic diversity of the endemic flat-needle pine Pinus krempfii (Pinaceae) from Vietnam revealed by SSR markers, vol. 14, pp. 7727-7739, 2015.

Pinus krempfii Lecomte (Pinaceae) is an endemic tree to Vietnam with restricted habitats at higher altitudes in the highlands. In this study, genetic variation of four populations of P. krempfii was assessed using 17 microsatellite markers (single sequence repeats). Of these 17 markers, eight were polymorphic, and among the 42 putative alleles amplified, 32 were polymorphic (accounting for 76.19%).

Analysis of the genetic diversity of beach plums by simple sequence repeat markers

X. M. Wang, Wu, W. L., Zhang, C. H., Zhang, Y. P., Li, W. L., and Huang, T., Analysis of the genetic diversity of beach plums by simple sequence repeat markers, vol. 14, pp. 9693-9702, 2015.

The purpose of this study was to measure the genetic diversity of wild beach plum and cultivated species, and to determine the species relationships using SSRs markers. An analysis of genetic diversity from ten beach plum germplasms was carried out using 11 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers selected from 35 primers to generate distinct PCR products. From this plant material, 44 allele variations were detected, with 3-5 alleles identified from each primer.
