“…radicis-lycopersici (22). Among the 27 microsatellite loci proposed (22), we selected the following five loci with high numbers of alleles: FOL20 (forward primer, CATTGAGGAAGAGCGGAAAG; reverse primer, CACATTTGGCACAGCAATCT), FOL35 (forward primer, GT CGTTTTCAAGGACGCACT; reverse primer, GGTGGCAGTTTCCT CCTTTT), FOL296 (forward primer, CACTGAAGGAAATGCAG CAG; reverse primer, TAGGCTCTGGAGATGCTTGG), FOL624 (forward primer, CAAGAGGCCAGCGATAGTGT; reverse primer, AGC TTTTGATACCCCATTCG), and CH2-15 (forward primer, ATCTTCCT CACGGTTTTGGA; reverse primer, TGTAGCGTAGCACAACAGTGG). For each microsatellite locus, PCR amplification was performed in a final volume of 20 l, containing 10 ng of DNA, 0.15 M each primer, 50 M each deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP), 2.5 mM MgCl 2 , 1 U of Taq polymerase (MP Biomedicals, Illkirch, France), and 1ϫ PCR buffer.…”
