چکیده
UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were developed from Thujopsis dolabrata var. hondae (Cupressaceae) using Illumina sequencing to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the genus Thujopsis. • METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-two primer pairs were developed from ESTs of T. dolabrata var. hondae. The primers amplified di- and trinucleotide repeat-containing sequences. Polymorphisms were assessed in 81 individuals from two T. dolabrata var. hondae populations and one T. dolabrata population. The number of alleles ranged from one to 17 per locus. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.000 to 1.000 and from 0.000 to 0.926, respectively. • CONCLUSIONS These new EST-SSR markers will be useful in analyses of the genetic diversity and population structure of the genus Thujopsis.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Iranian tulips revealed by EST-SSR and NBS-LRR Markers
The genus Tulipa L. (Liliaceae) comprises about 100 species and Iran is considered as one of the main origins of tulips. In this research, genetic diversity and population structure of 27 wild populations of tulips collected from Iran were studied by 15 highly polymorphic and reproducible expressed sequenced tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers and 8 nucleotide binding site (NBS)-enzyme...

متن کاملApplication of Random Amplified Microsatellite Polymorphism (RAMP) in Prunus Characterization and Mapping
Random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMP) is a PCR-based marker which uses a combination of two classes of markers: Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and Random amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) markers. RAMP has been demonstrated to be a potentially valuable molecular marker for the study of genetic relationships in cultivated plant species. The objective of this study was to optimize the...

BACKGROUND The moth orchid (Phalaenopsis species) is an ornamental crop that is highly commercialized worldwide. Over 30,000 cultivars of moth orchids have been registered at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). These cultivars were obtained by artificial pollination of interspecific hybridization. Therefore, the identification of different cultivars is highly important in the worldwide marke...

Expressed sequence tags simple sequence repeats (EST-SSRs) are important sources for investigation of genetic diversity and molecular marker development. Similar to genomic SSRs, the EST-SSRs are useful markers for many applications in genetics and plant breeding such as genetic diversity analysis, molecular mapping and cross-transferability across related species and genera. In spite of low po...
