Microsatellite-rich genomic DNA fragment of four tropical plants

Genomic molecular labeling is a very powerful tool for plant improvement, specifically in studies of genetic diversity and in the comprehension of genetic determination of agronomically interesting characteristics.

This project aims to develop highly polymorphic microsatellite markers for four tropical plants :

cacao tree
hevea
sugar cane
palm tree

These species are part of the Cirad research themes, focussing on both the natural world (genetic resources and plant improvement) and the lab studies (genomic information).
For each of these four species, the aim is to identify from 100 to 200 microsatellite markers regularly spaced along the genome.

Here is an example of the genetic diversity observed between 26 individuals by PCR amplification of the same microsatellite region :
