Genome-Wide Discovery of SSR Markers Based on Whole-Genome Resequencing Data of <i>Dendrobium officinale</i>.

ABSTRACT: Dendrobium officinale, a perennial epiphytic herb of the orchid family renowned for its ornamental value and diverse medicinal properties, has attracted considerable global attention due to its rarity and increasing market demand. However, large-scale cultivation has led to confusion regarding its germplasm resources and genetic backgrounds, posing significant challenges for the effective conservation, management, and utilization of D. officinale germplasm. In this study, we systematically analyzed the abundance and characteristics of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and developed highly polymorphic genomic SSR markers using whole-genome resequencing (WGRS) data from 15 D. officinale genotypes. A total of 494,783 SSRs were identified in the "Niu2020" reference genome. Mo
