Abstract excerpt
Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been detected in Brassica species, but fine-mapping of major QTL has advanced slowly. The development of functional markers can overcome this barrier. We used publicly available PlantGDB-assembled unique transcripts (PUTs) from Brassica species to design 7836 functional simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs. Functional annotation of the PUTs containing SSRs was done...
