“…Several multi-locus marker systems have been applied to Miscanthus such as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP; Hernández et al , 2001), randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD; Chiang et al , 2003), ISSR polymerase chain reaction (ISSR-PCR; Hodkinson et al, 2002c; Zhang et al, 2013a, b) and AFLP (Greef et al , 1997; Hodkinson et al , 2002c). Single-locus co-dominant markers have also been applied including isozymes (Chou et al , 1987; Chou and Chang, 1988; Chou and Ueng, 1992; Von Wühlisch et al , 1994). Many simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers have been developed for the nuclear genome (Hernández et al , 2001; Hung et al , 2009; Ho et al , 2011; Zhou et al , 2011; Hu et al , 2012; Kim et al ., 2012; Yu et al, 2013), but fewer have been developed for the plastid/chloroplast genome (De Cesare et al , 2010; Jiang et al , 2012).…”
