ABSTRACT
SSR is one of the most important molecular markers used in molecular identification and genetic diversity research of Dendrobium nobile. In order to enrich the library of SSR and establish a method for rapid identification of D. nobile, the SSR information was analyzed in the transcriptome of D. nobile. A total of 32 709 SSRs were obtained from the transcriptome of D. nobile, distributed in 26 742 unigenes with the distribution frequency of 12.90%. SSR loci occurred every 3 748 bp. Mono-nucleotide repeat was the main type, account for as much as 72.18% of all SSRs, followed by di-nucleotide (15.97%) and tri-nucleotide (11.19%). Among all repeat types, A/T was the predominant one followed by AG/CT. Finally a total of 62 157 primer pairs were designed for marker development. Randomly 20 pairs of primers were selected for PCR amplification, 17 amplified on clear and reproducible bands, the amplification rate was 85.0%.Thirteen pairs were polymorphic among the 3 Dendrobium plants. The results indicated that the unigenes generated from transcriptome sequencing in D. nobile can be used as effective source to develop SSR markers. The SSR loci in the transcriptome of D. nobile have the characteristics of type riches, high density and high potential of polymorphism, and these characteristics might applied in the study of molecular identification, genetic diversity and marker-assisted breeding of D. nobile and its closely related species.
ABSTRACT
In this study, 454/Roche GS FLX sequencing technology was used to obtain the data of the Astragalus membranaceus. Four hundred and fifty-four Sequencing System Software was applied to carry out the transcription of the group from scratch. Using MISA tools, 9 893 unigenes were selected for the sequence of the genome of A. membranaceus, and the information of SSR locus was analyzed. According to the result, the average length of reads was 413 bp, about 86% of the reads was involved in the splicing, the length of the N50 was 1 205 bp, the number of unigenes was measured by the whole transcript. 1 729 SSR loci in the A. membranaceus transcriptome were searched, the occurrence frequency of SSR was 9.24%, the frequency of SSR in the whole transcriptome was 13.42%, the average length of SSR was 7.97 kb. One hundred and twenty-seven kinds of core repeat sequences were found, the dominant type was TG/AC type of dinucleotide, it appeared to account for 4.25% of the total SSR locus. The results of the sequence of the transcription of the A. membranaceus transcriptome revealed the overall expression, and a large number of unigenessequence was obtained, and the SSR locus in the genome of the A. membranaceus is high, and the type is diverse, and the polymorphism of the gene is high.
