Development of optimal EST-SSR marker creation method in rice

As the DNA marker technology has been developed, the rapid generation of numerous genetic and physical maps was promoted and genetic map comparisons of different species, regardless of their genetic distance could be possible. As the interest of these application of molecular markers is increasing, molecular marker has been improved, and EST-SSR (expressed sequence tag - single sequence repeat) molecular marker have especially benefits for potential of candidate gene mapping and potential for studying adaptive genetic variation.
