Abstract excerpt
Short mononucleotide repeats analogous to nuclear microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been identified in chloroplast genomes. Primers flanking mononucleotide repeats in the fully sequenced rice chloroplast genome have been used in conjunction with PCR to amplify genomic DNA from 42 wild rice accessions. The amplification products exhibited length polymorphism, which allowed the levels of...
