Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed to investigate the influence of ecological factors on gene flow and spatial genetic structuring of the submerged plant (Ranunculaceae), which is regarded as an important species for understanding how plants adapt to an aquatic environment.
Methods And Results: Twenty-two microsatellite loci were identified from an expressed sequence tag (EST) library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to five, and the expected heterozygosity varied from 0.0 to 0.5 in four Chinese populations of . Fourteen loci were polymorphic and significantly deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. All of the loci were found to be amplifiable in two other species of section , and cross-amplification in six riparian and aquatic species of Ranunculaceae was also partially successful.
Conclusions: These novel EST-SSR markers will be useful for ecological and evolutionary studies of as well as related species.

(Fabricius) is an invasive insect pest capable of causing enormous economic losses to a broad spectrum of leguminous crops. Microsatellites are valuable molecular markers for population genetic studies; however, an inadequate number of microsatellite loci are available to carry out population association studies. Thus, we utilized this insect's public domain databases for mining expressed sequence tags (EST)-derived microsatellite markers.

Article Synopsis
- Gene flow between cultivated and wild sweet chestnut populations in the northern Adriatic is common, enabling the study of adaptation and novel variety selection.
- Research on various sweet chestnut orchards revealed a complex genetic structure, identifying five closely related clones that form a unique polyclonal variety.
- The presence of many hybrids between cultivated and wild chestnuts suggests these semi-wild orchards could be key sites for developing locally adapted, high-yielding chestnut varieties in the future.*
Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis Based on High-Density Mapping of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms by Genotyping-by-Sequencing Against Pine Wilt Disease in Japanese Black Pine ().

Identifying genes/loci for resistance to pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by the pine wood nematode (PWN) is beneficial for improving resistance breeding in , but to date, genetic information using molecular markers has been limited. Here, we constructed a high-density linkage map using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and conducted quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for PWD resistance for the self-pollinated progeny of "Namikata 73," which is the most resistant variety among resistant varieties of , following inoculation tests with PWN. An S mapping population consisting of the 116 progenies derived from self-pollination of the resistant variety, "Namikata 73" (resistance rank 5 to PWN), was inoculated with PWN isolate Ka-4 and evaluated for disease symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- - Finger millet is a self-pollinating crop grown primarily by small-scale farmers and requires minimal resources for cultivation; assessing its genetic diversity is crucial for breeding programs.
- - Researchers developed 13 new DNA markers and used 10 to evaluate the genetic diversity in 55 landrace accessions and 5 cultivars from Ethiopia, finding a total of 26 alleles with an average of 5.6 alleles per locus.
- - The study found limited variation in genetic diversity among accessions and regions, indicating strong gene flow that diminishes the correlation between genetic makeup and geographic origin.
Development of EST-Molecular Markers from RNA Sequencing for Genetic Management and Identification of Growth Traits in Potato Grouper ().
Biology (Basel)
January 2021
Department of Aquaculture, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan.
The accuracy and efficiency of marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been proven for economically critical aquaculture species. The potato grouper (), a novel cultured grouper species in Taiwan, shows large potential in aquaculture because of its fast growth rate among other groupers. Because of the lack of genetic information for the potato grouper, the first transcriptome and expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were developed.
