Abstract:41 Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) markers were used to research the fingerprints of 96 silkworm local variety resources, including 83 Chinese univoltine varieties, 11 Chinese bivoltine varieties and 2 Japanese bivoltine varieties. These SSR markers showed rich polymorphism, with the number of alleles reaching 3-35, averaged 12.78, suggesting that there was rich SSR polymorphism among various local varieties and its polymorphism information content ranged from 0.162-0.958, averaged 0.690. The genetic distance be… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
