Characterization of novel soybean derived simple sequence repeat markers and their transferability in hyacinth bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet]

Published on

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.
