Genome-wide microsatellite characterization and their marker development and transferability in Broussonetia Species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Broussonetia papyrifera, B. monoica, and B. kaempferi belong to the genus Broussonetia (Moraceae). These three species hold significant economic and research values. However, few molecular markers have been effectively utilized for resource development and molecular genetic breeding of these species. Sequencing of their genomes allowed us to develop genomic markers (e.g. simple sequence repeats (SSRs)) and construct a high-density physical map.

Results

A total of 369,557, 332,627, and 276,245 SSRs were identified in 13 high-quality assembled pseudochromosomes and their unassembled scaffolds for B. papyrifera, B. monoica, and B. kaempferi, respectively. Among the identified genomic SSRs across the three species, short repeat sequences were more abundant, while long
