Title
Construction of a genetic linkage map using simple sequence repeat markers from expressed sequence tags for cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an economically important crop that is grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Use of molecular technology for genetic improvement of cassava has been limited by the lack of a large set of DNA markers and a genetic map. Therefore, the aims here were to develop additional simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from the public expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and to construct a genetic linkage map. In this study, we designed 425 EST-SSR markers from sequences obtained from the cassava EST database in GenBank, and integrated them with 667 SSR markers from a microsatellite-enriched genomic sequence received from the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). Of these, 107 EST-SSR and 500 genomic SSR primer pairs showed polymorphic patterns when screened in two cassava varieties, Hauy Bong 60 and Hanatee, which were used as female and male parental lines, respectively. Within the 107 and 500 primer pairs, 81 and 226 EST-SSR and SSR primer pairs were successfully genotyped with 100 samples of F 1 progeny, respectively. The results showed 20 linkage groups consisting of 211 markers-56 EST-SSR and 155 SSR markers-spanning 1,178 cM, with an average distance between markers of 5.6 cM and about 11 markers per linkage group. These novel EST-SSR markers provided genic PCR-based co-dominant markers that were useful, reliable and economical. The EST-SSRs were used together with SSR markers to construct the cassava genetic linkage map which will be useful for the identification of quantitative trait loci controlling the traits of interest in cassava breeding programs. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
