Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting EST databases for the development and characterization of gene-derived SSR-markers in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.).
TL;DR: Results show that with the software tool developed, EST databases can be efficiently exploited for the development of cDNA-SSRs, EST-derived SSRs are significantly less polymorphic than those derived from genomic regions, a considerable portion of the developed SSRs can be transferred to related species, and compared to RFLP-markers, c DNA- SSRs yield similar patterns of genetic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genic microsatellite markers in plants: features and applications
TL;DR: Applications and potential uses of EST-SSRs in plant genetics and breeding could prove useful for marker-assisted selection, especially when the markers reside in the genes responsible for a phenotypic trait.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work reports the ∼738-Mb draft whole genome shotgun sequence of CDC Frontier, a kabuli chickpea variety, which contains an estimated 28,269 genes, and identifies targets of both breeding-associated genetic sweeps and breeding- associated balancing selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development and use of microsatellite markers for genetic analysis and plant breeding with emphasis on bread wheat
TL;DR: The basic principles underlying different hybridization-based and PCR based approaches, making use of microsatellites, have been outlined and relevant literature on the subject has been reviewed and critically discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Based on GP results, it is speculated how GS in germplasm enhancement programs could accelerate the flow of genes from gene bank accessions to elite lines and recent advances in hyperspectral image technology could be combined with GS and pedigree-assisted breeding.
