Development of microsatellite markers in potato and their use in phylogenetic and fingerprinting analyses
2001
Three genomic libraries were constructed using a mixture of DNA from Solanum phureja Juz. & Buk., and S. chacoense Bitt. Two of the libraries were enriched for ATT and GT repeats (a 27-fold enrichment was achieved). In total, 3500 clones of the conventional library, 1000 of the library enriched for ATT, and 12 000 of the one enriched for GT were screened with five different repeat motifs, and a total of 18 primer pairs was obtained. Another group of 12 primer pairs was obtained from the SSR-containing sequences in the public databases (18 SSR-containing sequences were utilized). From among 30 newly developed primer pairs, 12 previously published ones, and 12 pairs developed for tomato, 7 were used to identify 12 different potato cultivars and introductions, and 12 were used to study phylogenetic distance among seven wild and cultivated potato species. Two SSR markers were sufficient to discriminate the 12 cultivars. The mean number of alleles per polymorphic locus was 5 for the 12 cultivars and 4.5 for th...
