Expanding the Pool of PCR-Based Markers for Oat
December 16, 2005

J.-L. Jannink and S. W. Gardner of Iowa State University present their work on “Expanding the Pool of PCR-Based Markers for Oat.” Their research appears in the latest issue of Crop Science.

There are only a few polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–based markers for oat, and the crop would benefit from such markers, as PCR is a less expensive alternative to current methods used to analyze, classify, and breed oat (such as restriction fragment length polymorphisms, or RFLP).

In their research, Jannink and Gardner design 32 markers based on oat sequence data available.

Subscribers to Crop Science can access the complete article, as well as the sequences of the markers, at http://crop.scijournals.org/cgi/reprint/45/6/2383.
