Development and Characterization of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers from the Genomic sequence of Sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam) cv. Taizhong6]
Abstract:Background: Sweetpotato is a multifunctional root crop with many essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. Due to its genetic complexity and lack of genomic resources, efficient genetic studies, and cultivar development lags far behind other major crops. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) offer an effective molecular marker technology for molecular-based breeding and for locating important loci in crop plants, but only a few have previously been developed in sweetpotato. Results: To further explore new SSR mark… Show more
