Abstract/Contents:"Scientists at Oklahoma State University have developed molecular genetics methods to identify and differentiate clonal bermudagrass varieties. The study's accomplishments include: We demonstrated EST sequences are a good source to develop SSR markers, and we developed 230 EST SSRs for genetic research in bermudagrass. A total of 32 clonal turf bermudagrass genotypes, including 31 released varieties representing most of the commercially available clonal bermudagrasses in the USA and one OSU experimental clone (OKC 70-18) were used to screen 53 EST SSRs and 79 genomic SSRs. Eleven highly polymorphic SSR markers were selected for varietal identification. From a total of 141 bands amplified by the 11 SSRs, a varietal identity tree for the 32 cultivars was generated. The set of 11 microsatellite markers are highly discriminatory in clonal bermudagrass identification. The work represents the first rapid and robust application of SSR markers for identifying clonal turf bermudagrass. The markers may be used in the application for plant patent of clonal bermudagrass, in tracing infringements on plant breeders rights, and for quality control of bermudagrass turf management and development."
