Abstract

Microsatellites, or VNTRs, are emerging as the most efficient source of molecular markers for application as diagnostics in plant breeding and research. A major problem, perceived at the moment, is that, unlike other molecular markers, microsatellites are specific to individual species. Since they are expensive to develop it is vital to ascertain whether a sub-set of microsatellite sequences can be found which are transportable to other species. This project involves collaboration between scientists at SCRI, working with barley microsatellites and JIC, working with wheat microsatellites. The aim is to evolve strategies for the development of transportable microsatellite.
