Summary11 newly discovered microsatellites were used to identify SSR markers for characterising South American Nothofagus species. This was carried out in six species. The sample sizes used were between four and six individuals per species. The cross-genera transferability of 34 Quercus SSRs was also essayed. Out of the 11 new microsatellite markers, three proved to be polymorphic (NnBIO 11, NgBIO 13 and NgBIO 14). The qualitative confirmation of the inheritance of these markers could also be verified. Polymorphism was also observed in five of the cross-genera transferred SSRs (QrBIO7, quru-GA-0A01, quru-GA-0C11, quru-GA-0I01, quru-GA-0M07). The number of alleles per locus found range between 1 and 6 per species. The eight polymorphic SSRs identified in this study will constitute a valuable tool in the gene flow studies that are currently being carried out in natural populations of South American Nothofagus species. The confirmation of crossspecies and cross-genera transferability opens the way for the use of SSRs as bridge markers in genetic mapping.

Jackknife Procedure

Jackknife procedure (JP) is a less biased and fascinating method of obtaining gene flow among populations. The purpose of this study was to use JP to eliminate bias associated with indirect estimators of gene flow. With microsatellite markers, it has been possible to estimate gene flow (Nmo ) in natural populations. To quantify Nmo in chicken populations, we used five polymorphic microsatellite markers with 115 genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) obtained from (dihybrid (DH = 37), trihybrid (TH = 32) and Anak White (AW = 46) broiler chicken populations, respectively. Through polymerase chain reaction, we amplified DNA from the broiler chicken populations, subjected amplicons to electrophoresis, fragment sizes determined and analysed across populations considering selected markers through which standardized genetic variance among sub-populations in total sample depicted as (F)ST was obtained per marker for chicken population pairs. Its average across markers/population pairs was used to infer Nmo  in the chicken population pairs. We used JP which is a mathematical approach that utilizes mean FST across markers to obtain Nmo in the chicken population pairs. Gene flow based on JP in chicken population pairs designated as (Nm)JP were 5.4267 (DH vs. TH), 7.0127 (TH vs. AW) and 11.7405 (DH vs. AW) and among chicken populations, (Nm)JP was 7.1969. Considering these estimates, we concluded that there was JP gene flow among the three broiler chicken populations examined in Abeokuta, Nigeria.

Jackknife procedure (JP) is a less biased and fascinating method of obtaining gene slow among populations. The purpose of this study was to use JP to eliminate bias associated with indirect estimators of gene slow, with microsatellite markers, it has been possible to estimate gene flow (Nm) in natural populations. To quantify Nm, in chicken populations, we used five polymorphic microsatellite markers with 115 genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) obtained from (dihybrid (DH = 37), trihybrid (TH = 32) and Anak White (AW = 46) broiler chicken populations, respectively. Through polymerase chain reaction, we amplified DNA from the broiler chicken populations, subjected amplicons to electrophoresis, fragment sizes determined and analysed across populations considering selected markers through which standardized genetic variance among sub-populations in total sample depicted as (FST) was obtained per marker for chicken population pairs. Its average across markers/population pairs was used to infer Nm, in the chicken population pairs. We used JP which is a mathematical approach that utilizes mean FST, across markers to obtain Nm in the chicken population pairs.

Finger millet is a superior staple food for human beings. Microsatellite or Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) marker is a powerful tool for genetic mapping, diversity analysis and plant breeding. In finger millet, microsatellites show a higher level of polymorphism than other molecular marker systems. The identification and development of microsatellite markers are extremely expensive and time-consuming. Only less than 50% of SSR markers have been developed from microsatellite sequences for finger millet. Therefore, it is important to transfer SSR markers developed for related species/genus to finger millet. Cross-genome transferability is the easiest and cheapest method to develop SSR markers. Many comparative mapping studies using microsatellite markers clearly revealed the presence of synteny within the genomes of closely related species/ genus. Sufficient homology exists among several crop plant genomes in the sequences flanking the SSR loci. Thus, the SSR markers are beneficial to amplify the target regions in the finger millet genome. Many SSR markers were used for the analysis of cross-genome amplification in various plants such as Setaria italica, Pennisetum glaucum, Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, Zea mays and Hordeum vulgare. However, there is very little information available about cross-genome amplification of these markers in finger millet. The only limited report is available for the utilization of cross-genome amplified microsatellite markers in genetic analysis, gene mapping and other applications in finger millet. This review highlights the importance and implication of microsatellite markers such as genomic SSR (gSSR) and Expressed Sequence Tag (EST)-SSR in cross-genome analysis in finger millet. Nowadays, crop improvement has been one of the major priority areas of research in agriculture. The genome assisted breeding and genetic engineering plays a very crucial role in enhancing crop productivity. The rapid advance in molecular marker technology is helpful for crop improvement. Therefore, this review will be very helpful to the researchers for understanding the importance and implication of SSR markers in closely related species.

Abstract Epilobium belongs to the family Onagraceae, which consists of approximately 200 species distributed worldwide, and some species have been used as medicinal plants. Epilobium nankotaizanense is an endemic and endangered herb that grows in the high mountains in Taiwan at an elevation of more than 3300 m. Alpine herbs are severely threatened by climate change, which leads to a reduction in their habitats and population sizes. However, only a few studies have addressed genetic diversity and population genetics. In the present study, we developed a new set of microsatellite markers for E. nankotaizanense using high-throughput genome sequencing data. Twenty polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and tested on 30 individuals collected from three natural populations. These loci were successfully amplified, and polymorphisms were observed in E. nankotaizanense. The number of alleles per locus (A) ranged from 2.000 to 3.000, and the observed (Ho) and expected (He) heterozygosities ranged from 0.000 to 0.929 and from 0.034 to 0.631, respectively. The developed polymorphic microsatellite markers will be useful in future conservation genetic studies of E. nankotaizanense as well as for developing an effective conservation strategy for this species and facilitating germplasm collections and sustainable utilization of other Epilobium species.

This study was carried out to assess the genetic variability of ten "cagaita" tree (Eugenia dysenterica) populations in Southeastern Goiás. Fifty-four randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) loci were used to characterize the population genetic variability, using the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). A phiST value of 0.2703 was obtained, showing that 27.03% and 72.97% of the genetic variability is present among and within populations, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) among the genetic distances matrix (1 - Jaccard similarity index) and the geographic distances were estimated, and a strong positive correlation was detected. Results suggest that these populations are differentiating through a stochastic process, with restricted and geographic distribution dependent gene flow.

A progeny of 130 F1 individuals of an interspecific cross between Populus tremula L. and Populus tremuloides Michx. was used for genetic mapping of linkage group XIX with SSR markers based on the Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray genome sequence. Several fully sex-linked SSR markers were identified and mapped to a central position on the male P. tremuloides map of linkage group XIX. For the SSR markers tested here, the position on the assembled P. trichocarpa genome sequence is known, allowing sex-linked markers to be assigned to the central region of scaffold/chromosome 19 of P. trichocarpa. The sex linkage of the SSR markers was validated in other P. tremula × P. tremuloides crosses and also tested in Populus alba L. and Populus nigra L.
