Although much research has been conducted, the pattern of microsatellite distribution has remained ambiguous, and the development/utilization of microsatellite markers has still been limited/inefficient in Brassica, due to the lack of genome sequences. In view of this, we conducted genome-wide microsatellite characterization and marker development in three recently sequenced Brassica crops: Bra...

Kenaf is an important bast fiber crop. In order to diversify the available kenaf simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers and generate potentially useful for breeding, we developed expression tag (EST-SSR) based on lead-stressed transcriptome sequencing data spliced unigene sequences. Additionally, distribution of SSRs in potential functions SSR-containing genes were determined. Moreover,...

sclerotinia stem rot (ssr), caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is the most important diseases of canola (brassica napus) in iran. in order to study of the impact of ssr on canola yield, infection situation and yield of 80 fields in four different regions of golestan province (gorgan, ali abad, kalaleh and gonbad) in north of iran, was recorded during two growing seasons (2006 and 2007). ssr se...

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphic (SNP), the two most robust markers for identifying rice varieties were compared for assessment of genetic diversity and population structure. Total 375 varieties of rice from various regions of India archived at the Indian National GeneBank, NBPGR, New Delhi, were analyzed using thirty six genetic markers, each of hypervariable SSR ...

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highly useful molecular markers for plant improvement. Expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSR markers have a higher rate of transferability across species than genomic SSR markers and are thus well suited for application in cross-species phylogenetic studies. Our objectives were to examine the amplification of tall fescue EST-SSR markers in 12 gra...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of sympathetic skin response (SSR) and heart rate variability (HRV) for the differential diagnosis of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). DESIGN A diagnostic test study. SETTING Single centre in Japan. PARTICIPANTS We examined 20 patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosed with NINCDS-ADRDA crite...

The cerebral magnetic field of the auditory steady-state response (SSR) to sinusoidal amplitude-modulated (SAM) tones was recorded in healthy humans. The waveforms of underlying cortical source activity were calculated at multiples of the modulation frequency using the method of source space projection, which improved the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by a factor of 2 to 4. Since the complex ampl...

This paper presents a novel study for SSR mitigating in the wind power systems based on DFIG using GCSC (Gate controlled series capacitor). The GCSC is composed of three pairs of anti-parallel GTO Thyristors (Gate Turnoff) connected in parallel with a fixed capacitor. The GCSC is applied to reduce inrush current in capacitor compensator during the transient operation by executing a proper firin...

Olea europaea is one of the oldest species of domesticated trees. We used microsatellite markers for fingerprinting and for evaluation of genetic similarity and structure of 26 Greek olive cultivars, which cover most of the olive cultivation regions of Greece, including previously undescribed denominations from northern Greece. Eighty-one alleles were revealed with six SSR loci that were select...

Sixteen genomic DNA simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of Lentinula edodes were developed from 205 SSR motifs present in 46.1-Mb long L. edodes genome sequences. The number of alleles ranged from 3-14 and the major allele frequency was distributed from 0.17-0.96. The values of observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.00-0.76 and 0.07-0.90, respectively. The polymorphic information c...
