SSR marker development for analysis of the genetic diversity and identification of species and infraspecific ranks in the genus Phyllostachys.

Abstract excerpt

Bamboo plants possess important ecological, economic, and cultural values. However, it is difficult to accurately identify them on the basis of their morphological traits alone. Here, based on the whole-genome data of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) and its 20 forms, we conducted preliminary identification and comparative analyses of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) to develop molecular markers. In total,...
