Development of microsatellite markers in Cratylia mollis and their transferability to C. argentea (Fabaceae).

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:This work aimed to develop microsatellite markers for Cratylia mollis as tools to assess its genetic diversity and structure and to evaluate their potential cross-amplification in related species. • METHODS AND RESULTS:Microsatellite markers were developed using a microsatellite-enriched library and an intersimple sequence repeat library. From a set of 19 markers, 12 microsatellite loci were polymorphic and presented considerable variation in allele number (2-11), expected heterozygosity (0.226-0.883), and polymorphism information content per locus (0.212-0.870). Cross-amplification in C. argentea was successful in 16 loci, 12 of which were polymorphic (2-10 alleles). • CONCLUSIONS:The polymorphism of this set of microsatellite markers for C. mollis, as well as their successful cross-amplification in C. intermedia and C. bahiensis and their transferability to C. argentea, supports their use in future comparative studies to understand the mechanism involved in population divergence and speciation in the genus.

Development of microsatellite markers for Crepis mollis (Asteraceae).

Project description:Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the threatened species Crepis mollis (Asteraceae) to investigate population and conservation genetics. Illumina sequencing was conducted on pooled genomic DNA from 10 individuals of two populations. Ten polymorphic and 10 monomorphic microsatellite loci with di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanucleotide repeat motifs were developed and characterized in C. mollis. In the polymorphic markers, up to 17 alleles per locus were detected with an observed and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.120 to 0.780 and 0.102 to 0.834, respectively. Furthermore, the polymorphic markers were tested for cross-amplification in three congeneric species (C. biennis, C. foetida, and C. sancta) and amplified in up to three loci. The markers developed in this study are the first microsatellites tested on C. mollis and will be useful for performing population and conservation genetic studies in this threatened species.

Identification and development of microsatellite markers in <i>Hamamelis mollis</i> (Hamamelidaceae).

Project description:Premise of the studyHamamelis mollis (Hamamelidaceae) is a Tertiary relict species endemic to southern China. Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed to reveal the genetic diversity of this species.Methods and resultsThe genome of H. mollis was sequenced and de novo assembled into 642,351 contigs. A total of 72,097 paired primers were successfully designed from 80,282 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers identified in 63,419 contigs. PCR amplification showed that 96 of the 136 synthesized primers could be successfully amplified, and 22 demonstrated polymorphism. The mean number of alleles, levels of observed heterozygosity, and levels of expected heterozygosity were 4.602 ± 0.140, 0.632 ± 0.020, and 0.696 ± 0.010, respectively. The majority of the 96 primer pairs could be amplified in at least one other Hamamelidaceae species, including Distylium myricoides (60), Loropetalum chinense (39), Exbucklandia populnea (24), and E. tonkinensis (24).ConclusionsThese microsatellite loci provide abundant genomic SSR markers to evaluate genetic diversity of this woody ornamental plant.

Development of microsatellite markers in potato and their transferability in some members of Solanaceae.

Project description:We have developed thirty new microsatellite markers in potato by screening genomic libraries and ESTs. Genomic libraries of potato cultivar Kufri Bahar were screened for sequences containing microsatellite motifs GA, GT, ACA, ATC, GAA, TAA and GATA. Using flanking sequences, PCR primers were designed for microsatellites identified from genomic libraries and ESTs. Sixteen new primer pairs from genomic libraries and fourteen from ESTs along with seven previously published primer pairs amplified PCR products in the selected genotypes comprising of 65 Solanum tuberosum lines and 14 other species of the potato gene pool. Neighbor-joining tree based on genetic distance matrix developed using microsatellite markers successfully distinguished all these genotypes in the expected size range. Seventeen microsatellites could also be cross-amplified in at least one of the five members of solanaceae, namely tomato, eggplant, pepper, petunia and tobacco. The new microsatellite markers obtained in this study will be useful in various genetic and taxonomic studies in potato and related genomes.

Development and characterization of 14 microsatellite markers for Indigofera pseudotinctoria (Fabaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite markers can be used to evaluate population structure and genetic diversity in native populations of Indigofera pseudotinctoria (Fabaceae) and assess genetic disturbance caused by nonnative plants of the same species. We developed 14 markers for I. pseudotinctoria using next-generation sequencing and applied them to test two native populations, totaling 77 individuals, and a transplanted population, imported from a foreign country, of 17 individuals. The mean number of alleles was 3.310, observed heterozygosity was 0.242, and expected heterozygosity was 0.346. The fixation index in the transplanted population was 0.469, which was higher than in the native populations (0.154 and 0.158). In addition, the transplanted population contains one allele that is not shared by the native population. Microsatellite markers can be useful for evaluating genetic diversity within and between populations and for studying population genetics in I. pseudotinctoria and related species.

Project description:Tephrosia calophylla Bedd. (Fabaceae) is an endangered tropical plant endemic to southwestern Ghats, India. The objective of this study was to contribute to the characterisation of the diversity of this rare species, which is necessary for its future conservation. Accordingly, microsatellite markers were designed, and their ability to detect polymorphisms was determined. Nine microsatellite markers were developed using genomic libraries, and all of the markers were successfully amplified in 42 individuals. Three to nine alleles per locus were observed, and the heterozygosity of the loci ranged from 0.381 to 0.905. The nine newly developed polymorphic markers recognise a sufficient number of varying loci to perform further studies on the conservation and breeding of this medicinal cultivar.

Microsatellite markers for the yam bean Pachyrhizus (Fabaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite loci were developed for the understudied root crop yam bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) to investigate intraspecific diversity and interspecific relationships within the genus Pachyrhizus. • Seventeen nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers with perfect di- and trinucleotide repeats were developed from 454 pyrosequencing of SSR-enriched genomic libraries. Loci were characterized in P. ahipa and wild and cultivated populations of four closely related species. All loci successfully cross-amplified and showed high levels of polymorphism, with number of alleles ranging from three to 12 and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.095 to 0.831 across the genus. • By enabling rapid assessment of genetic diversity in three native neotropical crops, P. ahipa, P. erosus, and P. tuberosus, and two wild relatives, P. ferrugineus and P. panamensis, these markers will allow exploration of the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of the genus Pachyrhizus.

Microsatellite markers for Senna spectabilis var. excelsa (Caesalpinioideae, Fabaceae).

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Senna spectabilis var. excelsa (Fabaceae) is a South and Central American tree of great ecological importance and one of the most common species in several sites of seasonally dry forests. Our goal was to develop microsatellite markers to assess the genetic diversity and structure of this species. METHODS AND RESULTS:We designed and assessed 53 loci obtained from a microsatellite-enriched library and an intersimple sequence repeat library. Fourteen loci were polymorphic, and they presented a total of 39 alleles in a sample of 61 individuals from six populations. The mean values of observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.355 and 0.479, respectively. Polymorphism information content was 0.390 and the Shannon index was 0.778. CONCLUSIONS:Polymorphism information content and Shannon index indicate that at least nine of the 14 microsatellite loci developed are moderate to highly informative, and potentially useful for population genetic studies in this species.

Development, characterization, and cross-amplification of microsatellite markers in the understudied African genus Anthonotha (Fabaceae).

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Anthonotha macrophylla (Fabaceae) is a common tree species throughout the Guineo-Congolian forest that is sometimes confounded with other congeneric species; it is expected to be an interesting phylogeographical model to infer the history of the African dense forests. We developed 18 microsatellite markers from this species and tested their transferability in 15 congeneric species. METHODS AND RESULTS:A genomic library was obtained using the Illumina platform, and 18 polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed. The polymorphic microsatellites displayed two to 24 alleles (average: 11.9 alleles per locus, expected heterozygosity range: 0.18-0.91, mean: 0.64) in three populations of A. macrophylla from Benin, Liberia, and Cameroon. Cross-amplification in one to nine individuals of 15 congeneric Anthonotha species (A. acuminata, A. brieyi, A. cladantha, A. crassifolia, A. ferruginea, A. fragrans, A. gilletii, A. lamprophylla, A. mouandzae, A. noldeae, A. pellegrinii, A. pynaertii, A. stipulacea, A. wijmacampensis, and A. xanderi) showed successful amplification in six to 17 loci, making most of these markers useful at the generic level. CONCLUSIONS:This set of markers will be useful to study species delimitation and the genetic structure of Anthonotha species, and thus to better understand the history of tropical African rainforests.
