Discovery of EST-Derived Microsatellite Primers in the Legume <i>Lens culinaris</i> (Fabaceae)

Premise of the study: We developed microsatellite markers in the legume <i>Lens culinaris</i> from publicly available databases to enrich the limited marker resource available for the crop. Methods and Results: Eighty-two primer sets were identified using expressed sequence sets of <...

description Premise of the study: We developed microsatellite markers in the legume <i>Lens culinaris</i> from publicly available databases to enrich the limited marker resource available for the crop. Methods and Results: Eighty-two primer sets were identified using expressed sequence sets of <i>L. culinaris</i> available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database and were characterized in six species of <i>Lens</i>. Among them, 20 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers produced no amplification product, 43 produced monomorphic products, and 19 were polymorphic. The primers amplified mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanucleotide repeats with one to four alleles. These SSR loci successfully amplified in five related wild species, with a total of 61 primer pairs in <i>L. nigricans</i> and <i>L. odemensis</i> (98.39%), 59 in <i>L. tomentosus</i> (95.1 %), and 60 in <i>L. ervoides</i> and <i>L. orientalis</i> (96.7%), respectively. Conclusions: The microsatellite markers discovered in this study will be useful in genetic mapping, marker-assisted breeding, and characterization of germplasm.
