Development and Characterization of Microsatellite Markers for Common Buckwheat
Breeding Science, 2006 So far, only five microsatellite markers have been developed in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). The purpose of the present study was to develop a larger number of microsatellite markers in common buckwheat. By sequencing 2785 clones from the libraries, which were enriched for (CT)n and (GT)n repeats using magnetic particles, it was shown that ...
