Simple sequence repeat-based association analysis of fruit traits in eggplant (Solanum melongena)

H. Y. Ge, Liu, Y., Zhang, J., Han, H. Q., Li, H. Z., Shao, W. T., and Chen, H. Y., Simple sequence repeat-based association analysis of fruit traits in eggplant (Solanum melongena), vol. 12, pp. 5651-5663, 2013.

Association mapping based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) provides a promising tool to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in plant resources. A total of 141 eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) accessions were selected to detect simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers associated with nine fruit traits. Population structure analysis was performed with 105 SSR markers, which revealed that two subgroups were present in this population. LD analysis exhibited an extensive long-range LD of approximately 11 cM.

Characterization of Anatolian traditional quince cultivars, based on microsatellite markers

C. Yüksel, Mutaf, F., Demirtaş, İ., Öztürk, G., Pektaş, M., and Ergül, A., Characterization of Anatolian traditional quince cultivars, based on microsatellite markers, vol. 12, pp. 5880-5888, 2013.

We conducted simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses of 15 traditional quince (Cydonia oblonga) cultivars from Anatolian gene sources for molecular characterization and investigation of genetic relationships. Three pear and two apple cultivars were used as references for SSR locus data analysis and to determine allele profiles between species. Eight SSR loci that were developed from apple and pear were used, and a total of 44 alleles were found among quince cultivars.
