Novel genic microsatellite markers from Cajanus scarabaeoides and their comparative efficiency in revealing genetic diversity in pigeonpea

Paucity of molecular markers is hindering molecular breeding programmes for genetic improvement in pigeonpea, which is considered to be among the richest source of dietary protein in Asia and Africa. Genic microsatellites or EST-SSRs (simple sequence repeats) derived from expressed sequence tags (ES...

Description
Summary:Paucity of molecular markers is hindering molecular breeding programmes for genetic improvement in pigeonpea, which is considered to be among the richest source of dietary protein in Asia and Africa. Genic microsatellites or EST-SSRs (simple sequence repeats) derived from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are useful because these are inexpensive to develop, represent transcribed genes, and often a putative function can be assigned to them. Compared with genomic sequences, genic SSRs have several advantages as genetic markers.
