Abstract:
Objective: SSR markers, primers and unigene function in the transcriptome of Magnolia officinalis were analyzed in this study to provide powerful tools for molecular marker-assisted breeding and resources protection in this plant. Methods: A total of 16 369 unigenes obtained by transcriptome sequencing were used to explore SSR. SSR primers were designed by Primer.0 3 and 45 pairs were randomly selected for PCR. The gene function analysis of SSR unigene were obtained by Blast. Results: A total of 8 635 SSR were identified, accounting for 52.75%. Among them, mononucleotide, dinucleotide and trinucleotide type were the dominant types, and the type which repeated for 10 times was the most. Additionally, the dominant repeat types were A/T, AG/CT and AAG/CTT, and the distribution frequencies were 47.16%, 31.74%, and 6.53%. Twenty-two pairs of 45 primers produced fragments with expected molecular size. Unigenes containing SSR were annotated to the process of energy and redox reaction, RNA transport, spliceosome and plant hormone signal transduction metabolic pathway. Conclusion: The SSR markers in the transcriptome of M.officinalis show rich type, strong specificity and high potential, which will benefit to the candidate gene mining and marker-assisted breeding.
