SSR MARKERS FOR PLANTS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers identified in Jatropha curcas and useful for the molecular genotyping of plants. are described. These markers may be used for identifying allele polymorphisms, identifying identical or related plants, differentiating plants and studying genetic diversity in a population. The markers may also be used in genetic and phenotype studies using statistical methods, for example, linkage analysis, association mapping, linkage disequilibrium and the like. The information may be used for breeding and/or selection of plants.

1. A method for determining the genotype of a plant sample comprising:
(i) providing DNA from the sample; (ii) amplifying at least one polymorphic SSR marker with at least one primer pair selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2; 3 and 4; 5 and 6; 7 and 8; 9 and 10; 11 and 12; 13 and 14; 15 and 16; 17 and 18 and 19 and 20 or a fragment or variant of each pair; and (iii) identifying at least one polymorphic allele in the sample.
