Molecular markers in ryegrass and fescues

摘要

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are identified in ryegrasses and fescues. Primers suitable for amplifying SSRs, methods for identifying SSRs and libraries enriched for SSRs are provided. The SSRs may be used in the selection of genes in grass or cereal breeding, for profiling grass or cereal species varieties or for testing the purity of grass or cereal seed batches.
