Development of EST-SSR markers for Primula ovalifolia (Primulaceae) by transcriptome sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Premise of the study:Microsatellite primers were developed for Primula ovalifolia, a member of Primula section Petiolares (Primulaceae), to study the population genetics and species delimitation in this section. Methods and Results:A total of 4753 markers were successfully designated from 5139 putative simple sequence repeat loci. We isolated 38 expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat markers from 220 selected marker sites and tested polymorphism in three populations of P. ovalifolia, one of P. tardiflora, and one of P. epilosa. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to 19, and the observed and expected levels of heterozygosity varied from 0 to 0.938 and 0 to 0.915, respectively. Most of the loci could be successfully cross-amplified in the two congeneric species. Conclusions:These markers will be useful for further population genetic analysis and gene flow estimation of P. ovalifolia and its relatives.

Development and characterization of EST-SSR markers via transcriptome sequencing in Brainea insignis (Aspleniaceae s.l.).

Project description:Brainea insignis (Aspleniaceae) is an endangered tree fern in China whose wild populations have been seriously damaged due to overexploitation. Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) primers were developed to investigate its genetic diversity and provide resources for future conservation studies. We obtained 72,897 unigenes of B. insignis using transcriptome sequencing and detected 15,006 SSRs in 12,058 unigenes. Based on these results, we designed 100 EST-SSR primer pairs and successfully amplified 52 of them in six individuals; 27 demonstrated polymorphisms after amplification against 72 individuals across three populations. Allele numbers ranged from three to 10, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.105 to 1.000 and from 0.523 to 0.865, respectively, in the tested populations. Most of these primers could be successfully amplified in two other fern species (Blechnumorientale and Chieniopteris harlandii). These selected EST-SSRs are valuable for genetic diversity and conservation studies in B. insignis and other related fern species.

Development and Characterization of High-Throughput EST-Based SSR Markers for Pogostemon cablin Using Transcriptome Sequencing.

Project description:Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) or microsatellite markers derived from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are routinely used for molecular assisted-selection breeding, comparative genomic analysis, and genetic diversity studies. In this study, we investigated 54,546 ESTs for the identification and development of SSR markers in Pogostemon cablin (Patchouli). In total, 1219 SSRs were identified from 1144 SSR-containing ESTs. Trinucleotides (80.8%) were the most abundant SSRs, followed by di- (10.8%), mono- (7.1%), and hexa-nucleotides (1.3%). The top six motifs were CCG/CGG (15.3%), AAG/CTT (15.0%), ACC/GGT (13.5%), AGG/CCT (12.4%), ATC/ATG (9.9%), and AG/CT (9.8%). On the basis of these SSR-containing ESTs, a total of 192 primer pairs were randomly designed and used for polymorphism analysis in 38 accessions collected from different geographical regions of Guangdong, China. Of the SSR markers, 45 were polymorphic and had allele variations from two to four. Furthermore, a transferability analysis of these primer pairs revealed a 10?40% cross-species transferability in 10 related species. This report is the first comprehensive study on the development and analysis of a large set of SSR markers in P. cablin. These markers have the potential to be used in quantitative trait loci mapping, genetic diversity studies, and the fingerprinting of cultivars of P. cablin.

Full-length transcriptome sequencing analysis and development of EST-SSR markers for the endangered species Populus wulianensis.

Project description:Populus wulianensis is an endangered species endemic to Shandong Province, China. Despite the economic and ornamental value of this species, few genomics and genetic studies have been performed. In this study, we performed a relevant analysis of the full-length transcriptome sequencing data of P. wulianensis and obtained expressed sequence tag (EST)-simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers with polymorphisms that can be used for further genetic research. In total, 8.18 Gb (3,521,665) clean reads with an average GC content of 42.12% were obtained. From the corrected 64,737 high-quality isoforms, 42,323 transcript sequences were obtained after redundancy analysis with CD-HIT. Among these transcript sequences, 41,876 sequences were annotated successfully. A total of 23,539 potential EST-SSRs were identified from 16,057 sequences. Excluding mononucleotides, the most abundant motifs were trinucleotide SSRs (47.80%), followed by di- (46.80%), tetra- (2.98%), hexa- (1.58%) and pentanucleotide SSRs (0.84%). Among the 100 designed EST-SSRs, 18 were polymorphic with high PIC values (0.721 and 0.683) and could be used for analyses of the genetic diversity and population structure of P. wulianensis. These full-length transcriptome sequencing data will facilitate gene discovery and functional genomics research in P. wulianensis, and the novel EST-SSRs developed in our study will promote molecular-assisted breeding, genetic diversity and conservation biology research in this species.

Development and Transferability of EST-SSR Markers for Pinus koraiensis from Cold-Stressed Transcriptome through Illumina Sequencing.

Project description:Pinus koraiensis has significant economic and ecological value in Northeast China. However, due to the lack of suitable molecular markers, only a few available microsatellite markers were developed for further population genetics studies. In this study, for the first time we developed expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers from the cold-stressed transcriptome of P. koraiensis using Illumina Sequencing. We identified a total of 7,235 EST-SSRs from 97,376 sequences, and we tested their transferability among seven related Pinus species. The results showed that trinucleotides were the most abundant type of repeat (1287, 18.74%) excluding mononucleotides, followed by dinucleotides (1284, 18.7%) and tetranucleotides (72, 1.05%). The most dominant dinucleotides and trinucleotide repeat motifs were AT/AT (535, 7.79%) and AAT/ATT (103, 1.5%). The observed heterozygosity (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.002 to 0.986 and 0.017 to 0.743, respectively, and the polymorphism information content (PIC) values and number of alleles (Na) varied from 0.029 to 0.794 and 2 to 23, respectively. A total of 8 natural P. koraiensis populations were divided into two main genetic clusters. Furthermore, nine of twenty polymorphic primer pairs were successfully amplified in seven Pinus species, and at least 80% of the successful P. koraiensis EST-SSR primers could be amplified in more than four species (16, 80%). Combined results for the development of EST-SSR markers in P. koraiensis and transferability among related species would contribute to improved studies on the genetic diversity and population structure in P. koraiensis and phylogenetic relationships among Pinus species. They would also provide a significant source for quantitative trait locus analysis.

Global transcriptome sequencing using the Illumina platform and the development of EST-SSR markers in autotetraploid alfalfa.

Project description:BackgroundAlfalfa is the most widely cultivated forage legume and one of the most economically valuable crops in the world. The large size and complexity of the alfalfa genome has delayed the development of genomic resources for alfalfa research. Second-generation Illumina transcriptome sequencing is an efficient method for generating a global transcriptome sequence dataset for gene discovery and molecular marker development in alfalfa.Methodology/principal findingsMore than 28 million sequencing reads (5.64 Gb of clean nucleotides) were generated by Illumina paired-end sequencing from 15 different alfalfa tissue samples. In total, 40,433 unigenes with an average length of 803 bp were obtained by de novo assembly. Based on a sequence similarity search of known proteins, a total of 36,684 (90.73%) unigenes were annotated. In addition, 1,649 potential EST-SSRs were identified as potential molecular markers from unigenes with lengths exceeding 1 kb. A total of 100 pairs of PCR primers were randomly selected to validate the assembly quality and develop EST-SSR markers from genomic DNA. Of these primer pairs, 82 were able to amplify sequences in initial screening tests, and 27 primer pairs successfully amplified DNA fragments and detected significant amounts of polymorphism among 10 alfalfa accessions.Conclusions/significanceThe present study provided global sequence data for autotetraploid alfalfa and demonstrates the Illumina platform is a fast and effective approach to EST-SSR markers development in alfalfa. The use of these transcriptome datasets will serve as a valuable public information platform to accelerate studies of the alfalfa genome.

Characterization of the Lycium barbarum fruit transcriptome and development of EST-SSR markers.

Project description:Lycium barbarum, commonly known as goji, is important in Chinese herbal medicine and its fruit is a very important agricultural and biological product. However, the molecular mechanism of formation of its fruit and associated medicinal and nutritional components is unexplored. Moreover, this species lacks SSR markers due to lack of genomic and transcriptomic information. In this study, a total of 139,333 unigenes with average length of 1049 bp and N50 of 1579 bp are obtained by trinity assembly from Illumina sequencing reads. A total of 92,498 (66.38%) unigenes showed similarities in at least one database including Nr (46.15%), Nt (56.56%), KO (15.56%), Swiss-prot (33.34%), Pfam (33.43%), GO (33.62%) and KOG/COG (17.55%). Genes in flavonoid and taurine biosynthesis pathways were found and validated by RT-qPCR. A total of 50,093 EST-SSRs were identified from 38,922 unigenes, and 22,537 EST-SSR primer pairs were designed. Four hundred pairs of SSR markers were randomly selected to validate assembly quality, of which 352 (88%) were successful in PCR amplification of genomic DNA from 11 Lycium accessions and 210 produced polymorphisms. The polymorphic loci showed that the genetic similarity of the 11 Lycium accessions ranged from 0.50 to 0.99 and the accessions could be divided into 4 groups. These results will facilitate investigations of the molecular mechanism of formation of L. barbarum fruit and associated medicinal and nutritional components, and will be of value to novel gene discovery and functional genomic studies. The EST-SSR markers will be useful for genetic diversity evaluation, genetic mapping and marker-assisted breeding.

Characterization and development of EST-SSR markers derived from transcriptome of yellow catfish.

Project description:Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) is one of the most important freshwater fish due to its delicious flesh and high nutritional value. However, lack of sufficient simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers has hampered the progress of genetic selection breeding and molecular research for yellow catfish. To this end, we aimed to develop and characterize polymorphic expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSRs from the 454 pyrosequencing transcriptome of yellow catfish. Totally, 82,794 potential EST-SSR markers were identified and distributed in the coding and non-coding regions. Di-nucleotide (53,933) is the most abundant motif type, and AC/GT, AAT/ATT, AAAT/ATTT are respective the most frequent di-, tri-, tetra-nucleotide repeats. We designed primer pairs for all of the identified EST-SSRs and randomly selected 300 of these pairs for further validation. Finally, 263 primer pairs were successfully amplified and 57 primer pairs were found to be consistently polymorphic when four populations of 48 individuals were tested. The number of alleles for the 57 loci ranged from 2 to 17, with an average of 8.23. The observed heterozygosity (HO), expected heterozygosity (HE), polymorphism information content (PIC) and fixation index (fis) values ranged from 0.04 to 1.00, 0.12 to 0.92, 0.12 to 0.91 and -0.83 to 0.93, respectively. These EST-SSR markers generated in this study could greatly facilitate future studies of genetic diversity and molecular breeding in yellow catfish.

De Novo Assembly of Transcriptome and Development of Novel EST-SSR Markers in Rhododendron rex Levl. through Illumina Sequencing.

Project description:Transcriptome sequences generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies can be utilized to rapidly detect and characterize a large number of gene-based microsatellites from different plants. Rhododendron rex Lévl. is a perennial woody species from the family Ericaceae and an endangered plant with high ornamental value endemic to Southwestern China. Nevertheless, the genetic and genomic information of R. rex remain unknown. In this study, we performed transcriptome sequencing for R. rex leaf samples, and generated large transcript sequences for functional characterization and development gene-associated SSR markers. A total of 164,242 unigenes were assembled and 115,089 (70.07%) unigenes were successfully annotated in public databases. In addition, a total of 15,314 potential EST-SSRs were identified, and the frequency of SSRs in the R. rex unigenes was 9.32%, with an average of one EST-SSR per 5.65 kb. The most abundant type was repeated di-nucleotide (54.63%), followed by mono- (26.03%) and tri-nucleotide (18.51%) repeats. Based on the SSR-containing sequence, 100 primer pairs were randomly selected and synthesized and used for assessment of the polymorphism. Thirty-six primer pairs were polymorphic and revealed polymorphism among 20 individuals from four R. rex populations. A total of 197 alleles were identified, with an average of 5.472 alleles per locus. The Polymorphism Information Content ranged from 0.154 to 0.870, with a mean of 0.482. The newly developed EST-SSR markers exhibited high transferability (58.33-83.33%) among the six subgenera. Thus, these novel EST-SSR markers developed would provide valuable sequence resources for population structure, genetic diversity analysis, and genetic resource assessments of R. rex and its related species.

Characterization of the Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) Global Transcriptome Using Illumina Paired-End Sequencing and Development of EST-SSR Markers.

Project description:Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is an economically important natural fiber crop grown worldwide. However, only 20 expressed tag sequences (ESTs) for kenaf are available in public databases. The aim of this study was to develop large-scale simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to lay a solid foundation for the construction of genetic linkage maps and marker-assisted breeding in kenaf. We used Illumina paired-end sequencing technology to generate new EST-simple sequences and MISA software to mine SSR markers. We identified 71,318 unigenes with an average length of 1143 nt and annotated these unigenes using four different protein databases. Overall, 9324 complementary pairs were designated as EST-SSR markers, and their quality was validated using 100 randomly selected SSR markers. In total, 72 primer pairs reproducibly amplified target amplicons, and 61 of these primer pairs detected significant polymorphism among 28 kenaf accessions. Thus, in this study, we have developed large-scale SSR markers for kenaf, and this new resource will facilitate construction of genetic linkage maps, investigation of fiber growth and development in kenaf, and also be of value to novel gene discovery and functional genomic studies.
