Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo establish the new EST-SSR markers for analyzing the genetic variation of different population of Salvia miltiorrhiza.
METHODIt was dealt with ESTs newly downloaded from Genbank and that of acquired from HMPL lab EGassembler software, and then carried out SSR loci search and SSR type analysis by SSRIT software. After that, it was designed the EST-SSR primer pairs for PCR amplification condition optimization.
RESULTAbundant and high coverage of SSR loci distribution were found in S. miltiorrhiza with having one SSR per 5.8 kb ESTs. Among them, the occurrences of different repeat units were mainly the di- (63.0%) and tri- (35.5%). The CT/AG was the most frequent motif in dinucleotide motif type and the GAA/TCC was the most frequent motif in trinucleotide repeats. Out off 36 primer pairs, 29 primer pairs (80.5%) were successfully amplified in all samples of S. miltiorrhiza while the rest failed to give PCR products at various annealing temperature and Mg2+ concentrations. The selected primer pairs also showed the polymorphism in samples from different S. miltiorrhiza populations.
CONCLUSIONThe newly establishment of EST-SSR markers showed high SSR loci coverage and genetic polymorphisms in S. miltiorrhiza population. It could be used for genetic variation analysis.
