  • Title: Development of a novel set of microsatellite markers for castor bean, Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae).
    Author: Bajay MM, Zucchi MI, Kiihl TA, Batista CE, Monteiro M, Pinheiro JB.
    Journal: Am J Bot; 2011 Apr; 98(4):e87-9. PubMed ID: 21613155.
    Abstract:
    PREMISE OF STUDY: Microsatellite primers were developed for castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) to investigate genetic diversity and population structure, and to provide support to germplasm management. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eleven microsatellite loci were isolated using an enrichment cloning protocol and used to characterize castor bean germplasm from the collection at the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas (IAC). In a survey of 76 castor bean accessions, the investigated loci displayed polymorphism ranging from two to five alleles. CONCLUSIONS: The information derived from microsatellite markers led to significant gains in conserved allelic richness and provides support to the implementation of several molecular breeding strategies for castor bean.
