First genome-specific development, characterization and validation of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in , a commercially important bamboo of India.

The natural population of have not been genetically enumerated due to a lack of genome sequence information or robust species-specific molecular marker. The present study was conducted to develop and validate genome-wide de novo simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers in through shallow-pass genome sequencing. The genome sequence data of about 13 Gb was generated using Illumina technology, and high-quality sequence reads were de novo assembled into 1,390,995 contigs with GC content 42.

Genome survey sequencing-based SSR marker development and their validation in Dendrocalamus longispathus.

Bamboo is an important genetic resource in India, supporting rural livelihood and industries. Unfortunately, most Indian bamboo taxa are devoid of basic genomic or marker information required to comprehend the genetic processes for further conservation and management. In this study, we perform genome survey sequencing for development of de novo genomic SSRs in Dendrocalamus longispathus, a socioeconomically important bamboo species of northeast India.

Genome skimming-based simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker discovery and characterization in .

Unlabelled: Proteaceae, a largely southern hemisphere family consisting of 80 genera distributed in Australia and southern Africa as its centres of greatest diversity, also extends well in northern and southern America. Under this family, is a fast-growing species got popularity in farm and avenue plantations. Despite the ecological and economic importance, the species has not yet been investigated for its genetic improvement and genome-based studies.

Chloroplast-based DNA barcode analysis indicates high discriminatory potential of locus in Himalayan temperate bamboos.

The study was conducted to evaluate the discriminatory potential of selected chloroplast-based DNA barcode regions for identifying and resolving phylogeny of the Indian bamboos. Among 11 chloroplast markers screened, only four, namely , , - and - showed successful amplification in 88 genotypes of 30 Indian bamboo taxa under Bambuseae and Arundinarieae tribes. A total of 244 sequences were generated for the four chloroplast regions.

First de novo genome specific development, characterization and validation of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in Genus Salvadora.

Salvadoraceae constitutes ecologically imperative desert families of 3 genera-Azima, Dobera and Salvadora. Under genus Salvadora of this family, S. oleoides is a keystone species of socio-economic and medicinal value.
