Genome-Wide Characterization and Development of Simple Sequence Repeat Markers for Molecular Diversity Analyses in Yellowhorn (<i>Xanthoceras sorbifolium</i> Bunge).

ABSTRACT: Yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge) is a valuable ornamental, medicinal, and woody oilseed species that is indigenous to China. The breeding improvement of yellowhorn has been hindered by a lack of suitable markers and sufficient information regarding the molecular diversity of this species. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the yellowhorn genome to characterize the simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci. A total of 4,007,201 SSRs were successfully identified. Among these markers, mono-nucleotide SSRs were most abundant in the genome, while the tri-nucleotide SSRs accounted for the highest proportion in coding sequences. The GO and KEGG function enrichment analysis revealed that most SSR loci in coding sequences were associated with potential biological funct
