Isolation and characterization of 22 EST-SSR markers for the genus Thujopsis (Cupressaceae).

ABSTRACT: 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.

Isolation and characterization of SSR and EST-SSR loci in Chamaecyparis formosensis (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Premise of the Study:Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSR markers were developed as tools for marker-assisted selection of Chamaecyparis formosensis and for the molecular differentiation of cypress species. Methods and Results:Based on the SSR-enriched genomic libraries and transcriptome data of C. formosensis, 300 primer pairs were selected for initial confirmation, of which 19 polymorphic SSR and eight polymorphic EST-SSR loci were chosen after testing in 92 individuals. The number of alleles observed for these 27 loci ranged from one to 17. The levels of observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 1.000 and from 0.000 to 0.903, respectively. Most markers also amplified in C. obtusa var. formosana. Conclusions:The developed SSR and EST-SSR sequences are the first reported markers specific to C. formosensis. These markers will be useful for individual identification of C. formosensis and to distinguish cypress species such as C. obtusa var. formosana.

Development and validation of EST-SSR markers for <i>Fokienia hodginsii</i> (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Premise of the studyFokienia hodginsii (Cupressaceae) is a Tertiary relict evergreen conifer of the monotypic genus Fokienia. Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed to investigate its genetic diversity and population structure.Methods and resultsRNA transcripts of F. hodginsii were sequenced and de novo assembled into 85,818 unigenes, and 1892 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were detected from the unigenes. A total of 273 expressed sequence tag-SSR primer pairs were designed and tested, and 129 successfully amplified. Eleven displayed clear polymorphisms in F. hodginsii. Amplification of these polymorphic primers across three populations of F. hodginsii showed the number of alleles per locus ranged from two to seven, and the expected heterozygosity per locus varied from 0.067 to 0.847. All 11 polymorphic primers amplified in Thuja occidentalis, while 10 amplified in T. standishii, Platycladus orientalis, and Chamaecyparis obtusa.ConclusionsThese microsatellite markers will be useful in exploring genetic diversity of F. hodginsii and other conifer trees.

Isolation and identification of EST-SSR markers in Chunia bucklandioides (Hamamelidaceae).

Project description:Chunia bucklandioides (Hamamelidaceae), endemic to Hainan, China, is listed as threatened in the IUCN Red List and is now only found on Mt. Diaoluo and Mt. Jianfeng. Thus, microsatellite markers were developed for future conservation genetic studies of this species. A total of 115 primers were designed on the basis of the transcriptome data of C. bucklandioides. Of them, 59 successfully amplified in C. bucklandioides and polymorphisms were detected in 11; the number of alleles per locus varied from two to five, the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.941, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.699. A total of 13 primers amplified in Mytilaria laosensis, and five primers amplified in Exbucklandia tonkinensis and E. populnea. The markers screened here provide a basis to assess genetic structure and further establish conservation strategies for C. bucklandioides.

Development and characterization of EST-SSR markers in Ostryopsis (Betulaceae).

Project description:A set of expressed sequence tag (EST) microsatellite markers were developed and characterized using next-generation sequencing technology for the Chinese genus Ostryopsis (Betulaceae). • A total of 38 high-quality simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were identified, of which 15 could be successfully amplified. Subsequently, we selected 80 individuals to represent the three species of the genus to evaluate the efficacy of these markers for examining genetic diversity of each species in the future. We found that the number of alleles per locus ranged from one to nine, with an average of 3.8. The expected heterozygosity and observed heterozygosity per locus varied from 0 to 0.829 and from 0 to 1, respectively, with their respective mean values as 0.483 and 0.416. • These EST-SSR markers will be useful for evaluating the range-wide genetic diversity of each species and examining genetic divergence and gene flow between the three species.

Isolation and characterization of novel genomic and EST-SSR markers in Coreoperca whiteheadi Boulenger and cross-species amplification.

Project description:We described and characterized 11 expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived simple sequence repeats (SSR) and seven genomic (G)-derived SSRs in Coreoperca whiteheadi Boulenger. The EST-SSRs comprised 62.2% di-nucleotide repeats, 32.2% tri-nucleotide repeats and 5.5% tetra-nucleotide repeats, whereas the majority of the G-SSRs were tri-nuleotide repeats (81.4%). The number of alleles for the 18 loci ranged from 3 to 6, with a mean of 3.8 alleles per locus. The observed (Ho) and expected heterozygosities (He) values ranged from 0.375 to 1.000, and 0.477 to 0.757, respectively. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.466 to 0.706. The mean values number of alleles, Ho, He, and PIC of EST-SSRs were higher than those of the G-SSRs. Four microsatellite loci deviated signi?cantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) after Bonferroni correction and no significant deviations in linkage disequilibrium (LD) were observed. These loci are the first to be characterized in C. whiteheadi and should be useful in the investigation of a genetic evaluation for conservation. Compared with 11 loci in C. whiteheadi, 37 potential polymorphic EST-SSRs were found in Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky), which will provide a valuable tool for mapping studies and molecular breeding programs in S. chuatsi.

Development and characterization of EST-SSR markers for Catalpa bungei (Bignoniaceae).

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Catalpa bungei (Bignoniaceae) is a deciduous tree native to China. We developed microsatellite markers for C. bungei to investigate its population genetics. METHODS AND RESULTS:One hundred seventy-seven expressed sequence tag (EST)-simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs were isolated and characterized using next-generation sequencing. Thirty of these primer pairs were polymorphic loci in 52 individuals of C. bungei. The number of alleles ranged from two to 18 with observed and expected heterozygosity values of 0.05-1.00 and 0.18-0.95, respectively. The fixation index ranged from -1.00 to 1.00 with an average of 0.32. No linkage disequilibrium was detected in any pair of loci. All markers showed good amplification results in four species (C. bungei, C. fargesii, C. duclouxii, and C. ovata) except three loci. CONCLUSIONS:These polymorphic markers are expected to be helpful in further studies on the systematics and phylogeography of C. bungei and related species.
