Abstract excerpt
Sesame is prized for its oil. Genetic improvement of sesame can be enhanced through marker-assisted breeding. However, few simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and SSR-based genetic maps were available in sesame. In this study, 7,357 SSR markers were developed from the sesame genome and transcriptomes, and a genetic map was constructed by generating 424 novel polymorphic markers and using a cross population with...
