Abstract:
Aphanomyces euteiches Drechsler is a serious pathogen of leguminous crops that causes devastating root rot of pea worldwide. Given that A. euteiches is a diploid organism, robust, codominant markers are needed for population genetics studies. We have developed and screened a microsatellite-enriched small-insert genomic library for identification of A. euteiches SSR containing sequences. Fourteen out of the 48 primer pairs designed to amplify SSR, produced unambiguous polymorphic products in our test population of 94 isolates. The number of alleles at each locus ranged from one to four. The identification of new markers would enhance the ability to evaluate the genetic structure of A. euteiches populations, and pathogen evolution.
