Genome-wide development and application of miRNA-SSR markers in genus.

Unlabelled: Genetic diversity of plants is the brace of biodiversity and diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems. SSR markers are the most preferable molecular marker tool that has been successfully used to study the genetic diversity of plant species. Development of miRNA-SSR markers has been deed in animals but is still limited in plants.

Development of molecular markers based on LTR retrotransposon in the Cleistogenes songorica genome.

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) contribute a large fraction of many sequenced plant genomes and play important roles in genomic diversity and phenotypic variations. LTR-RTs are abundantly distributed in plant genomes, facilitating the development of markers based on LTR-RTs for a variety of genotyping purposes. Whole-genome analysis of LTR-RTs was performed in Cleistogenes songorica.

Genome-Wide Identification and Development of LTR Retrotransposon-Based Molecular Markers for the Genus.

is an important genus of legumes with industrial and medicinal value, partly due to the production of coumarin. To explore the genetic diversity and population structure of , 40 accessions were analyzed using long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon-based markers. A total of 585,894,349 bp of LTR retrotransposon sequences, accounting for 55.

The genome of Cleistogenes songorica provides a blueprint for functional dissection of dimorphic flower differentiation and drought adaptability.

Cleistogenes songorica (2n = 4x = 40) is a desert grass with a unique dimorphic flowering mechanism and an ability to survive extreme drought. Little is known about the genetics underlying drought tolerance and its reproductive adaptability. Here, we sequenced and assembled a high-quality chromosome-level C.

Genome-wide development of miRNA-based SSR markers in Cleistogenes songorica and analysis of their transferability to Gramineae/non-Gramineae species.

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are commonly used for many genetic applications, such as map construction, fingerprinting, and genetic diversity analyses, due to their high reproducibility, polymorphism, and abundance. Endogenous miRNAs play essential roles in plant development and gene expression under diverse biotic and abiotic stress conditions. In the present study, we predicted 110 miRNA-SSR primer pairs from 287 precursor miRNAs.

Analysis of Six Transcription Factor Families Explores Transcript Divergence of Cleistogamous and Chasmogamous Flowers in .

is a cultivated turfgrass species that employs a mixed breeding system. To determine the morphological differences and molecular mechanisms of the chasmogamous (CH) and cleistogamous (CL) flowers of this species, we evaluated seed traits and analyzed six transcription factor (TF) families related to floral development. The seed traits from the CH and CL flowers were significantly different.
