TRANSFERABILITY OF CROSS CEREAL SPECIES SSR MARKERS TO FINGER MILLET (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 49
Abstract
Finger millet [Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.], belonging to the family poaceae, is a crop of considerable potential. The use of DNA markers in general and SSR markers in particular in finger millet breeding is still in its infancy due to their limited availability. There are few reported attempts of developing genomic/EST SSR markers in finger millet. A set 94 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers developed from cereal crops (pearl millet, foxtail millet, oat and wheat) were evaluated for their transferability to finger millet. Forty-nine of 61 SSR markers from pearl millet were transferable to finger millet. Although fewer SSR markers of other cereals such as wheat, foxtail millet and oat, all of them were transferable to finger millet. The present study provides clues for transferability of cross cereal species/genera EST SSR markers to genomic resources-limited crops such as finger millet.
