Progress in development and applications of SSR molecular marker in macrofungi

Abstract:

The SSR (simple sequence repeats) marker has become one of the most popular molecular markers recently. There are three strategies to develop SSR marker in macrofungi, traditional library method, enriched library method and GenBank screening. Among them, enriched library method has been used more frequently due to its higher efficiency. The applications of SSR marker in macrofungi are reviewed, with the conclusion that genetic identification and genetic diversity analysis are studied commonly while the genetic map construction and assistant breeding are still to be improved. In addition, the existing problems and developing prospects of SSR marker in macrofungi are discussed.
