title: Development of simple sequence repeat markers for Japanese isolates of Magnaporthe grisea.
abstract: We developed nine simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers useful for differentiating Japanese isolates of Magnaporthe grisea through a bioinformatic approach. Repeat sequences in the genome of M. grisea were identified by a Tandem Repeat Finding program. Length polymorphisms at 28 loci were examined, nine of which were selected on the basis of detected polymorphisms. These nine SSR markers showed a Nei's gene diversity ranging from 0.23 to 0.91 among 48 field isolates of two natural populations. These SSR markers are well suited for M. grisea epidemiology and population genetics.
