Gene polymorphisms for elucidating the genetic structure of the heavy-metal hyperaccumulating trait in Thlaspi caerulescens and their cross-genera amplification in Brassicaceae.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic polymorphism was investigated in Thlaspi caerulescens J. & C. Presl at 15 gene regions, of which seven have been identified to putatively play a role in heavy-metal tolerance or hyperaccumulation. Single nucleotide and length polymorphisms were assessed at four cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) and 11 simple sequence repeat (microsatellite) loci, respectively. The utility of these loci for...
