Genome wide microsatellite maps shall support Phytophthora systematics through the development of reliable markers, enabling species discrimination and variability analyses. Whole genome sequences of 17 Phytophthora accessions belonging to 14 species were retrieved from GenBank and the genome-wide microsatellites in each species were mined. A total of 51,200 microsatellites, including dinucleotide to decanucleotide motifs, have been identified across all the species and each one was characterized for uniqueness and repeat number. The P. infestans T30-4 genome had the highest (6873) and P. multivora 3378 had the lowest number of microsatellites (1802). Dinucleotide motifs (63.6%) followed by trinucleotide motifs (30.1%) were most abundant in all the genome. From 14 species, 250 microsatellites which are unique for the respective genomes are detailed along with their primer combinations and product sizes. P. sojae had the highest number of unique microsatellite motifs. Genome wide microsatellite maps for all the 14 Phytophthora species including the chromosome, position, motif, repeat number, forward and reverse primer sequences and expected PCR product size, for every microsatellite are presented. Markers based on the unique microsatellites could be used to identify each species, whereas the ones common to all species could be used to identify the genetic variability. Furthermore, to confirm the results, pure cultures of P. capsici, P. nicotianae and P. palmivora were procured from the Phytophthora Repository, DNA was isolated and the unique markers were screened across the species. The characteristic markers developed have confirmed the genome analysis results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
