Identification of Diploid Stylosanthes seabrana accessions from existing germplasm of S. scabra utilizing genome-specific STS markers and flow cytometry, and their molecular characterization.

Abstract excerpt

Stylosanthes seabrana (Maass and 't Mannetje) (2n = 2x = 20), commonly known as Caatinga stylo, is an important tropical perennial forage legume. In nature, it largely co-exist with S. scabra, an allotetraploid (2n = 4x = 40) species, sharing a very high similarity for morphological traits like growth habit, perenniality, fruit shape and presence of small appendage at the base of the pod or loment. This makes the...
