SSR marker and ITS cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence analysis of soybean x Glycine tomentella intersubgeneric derived lines.
Wild perennial Glycine species are an invaluable gene resource for the cultivated soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr., 2 n=40]. However, these wild species have been largely unexplored in soybean breeding programs because of their extremely low crossability with soybean and the need to employ in vitro embryo rescue methods to produce F(1) hybrids. The objective of this study was to develop molecular markers to identify gene introgression from G. tomentella, a wild perennial Glycine species, to soybean. A selection of 96 soybean simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers was evaluated for cross-specific amplification and polymorphism in G. tomentella. Thirty-two SSR markers (33%) revealed specific alleles for G. tomentella PI 483218 (2 n=78). These SSR markers were further examined with an amphidiploid line (2 n=118) and monosomic alien addition lines (MAALs), each with 2 n=40 chromosomes from soybean and one from G. tomentella. The results show that the use of SSR markers is a rapid and reliable method to detect G. tomentella chromosomes in MAALs. We also developed a cleaved amplification polymorphism sequence (CAPS) marker according to the sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions in soybean and G. tomentella. Four MAALs that carry the ITS (rDNA) locus from G. tomentella were identified. The SSR and ITS-CAPS markers will greatly facilitate the introgression and characterization of gene transfer from G. tomentella to soybean.
