Abstract
Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) from the sequences of inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) fragments and flanking regions. Twenty-five ISSR primers were used to generate fragments for cloning. Of the 520 unique sequences obtained, 41 contained long internal repeats (≥20 bp) with flanking sequences sufficient for primer design. From these, we developed 23 new polymorphic microsatellite loci. The flanking sequences were obtained for fragment ends by chromosome walking, and an additional 47 polymorphic markers were developed. Two additional polymorphic markers were developed from a GA-enriched library. The 72 new marker loci were characterized using 50 diverse hazelnut accessions. For the internal repeat loci, the number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 16, with a mean of 7.52. Mean values for expected heterozygosity (He), observed heterozygosity (Ho), and polymorphism information content (PIC) were 0.62, 0.59, and 0.58, respectively. The estimated frequency of null alleles (r) was ≥0.05 at six of the 23 loci. For the 47 marker loci developed from fragment ends, the number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 16, with a mean of 7.30. Mean values for He, Ho, and PIC were 0.62, 0.47, and 0.58, respectively. The estimated frequency of null alleles (r) was ≥0.10 at 18 of the 47 loci. Of the 70 loci developed from ISSR and flanking sequences, 50 segregated in our mapping population and were assigned to linkage groups.
