Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers were developed
from soybean expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences
obtained from The European Molecular Biology Laboratory
(EMBL) database. Of the 1517 loci considered 764 (50.4%)
and 573 (37.8%) constituted tri and dinucleotide and, 73
(4.8%), 44 (2.9%), 38 (2.5%) and 25 (1.6%) represented
mono, hexa, tetra and pentanucleotide repeats,
respectively. Fifty of these SSR makers exhibited 100%
transferability in Lablab purpureus. Eight out of 50 loci
(16%) displayed length polymorphisms. BLAST results
showed that the function of only 15 EST sequences (30%)
of the selected 50 SSR sequences were known. The novel
EST-SSR will be useful for developing new molecular
markers of L. purpureus.
