Abstract excerpt
Unigene derived microsatellite (UGMS) markers have the advantage of assaying variation in the expressed component of the genome with unique identity and positions. We characterized the microsatellite motifs present in the unigenes of five cereal species namely, rice, wheat, maize, Sorghum and barley and compared with those in Arabidopsis. The overall UGMS frequency in the five cereal species was 1/7.6 kb. The...
