MICROSATELLITE MARKERS FOR PLANTS OF THE SPECIES TRITICUM AESTIVUM AND TRIBE TRITICEAE AND THE USE OF SAID MARKERS

摘要

The invention pertains to novel genetic markers for wheats (Triticum aestivumL.) and closely related species (tribe: Triticeae) and to the use of these markers. The aim of the invention is to develop novel microsatellite markers intended for use in the genetic analysis of plants of the species Triticum aestivum and characterised by a higher level of DNA polymorphism than other molecular probes hitherto developed for the wheat genome. The invention involves the preparation of 233 microsatellite markers, or a proportion thereof, which are defined as primer pairs with associated microsatellite sequences and amplify loci of various chromosomes of the wheat genome and are therefore suitable for use in genetic marking.
