De novo identification and targeted sequencing of SSRs efficiently fingerprints Sorghum bicolor sub-population identity.

Recent plant breeding studies of several species have demonstrated the utility of combining molecular assessments of genetic distance into trait-linked SNP genotyping during the development of parent lines to maximize yield gains due to heterosis. SSRs (Short Sequence Repeats) are the molecular mark...
