Development of high throughput SNP-based genotyping in Acacia auriculiformis x A. mangium hybrids using short-read transcriptome data
Development of high throughput SNP-based genotyping in Acacia auriculiformis x A. mangium hybrids using short-read transcriptome data
Acacia auriculiformis x Acacia mangium hybrids are commercially important trees for the timber and pulp industry in Southeast Asia. Increasing pulp yield while reducing pulping costs are major objectives of tree breeding programs. RNA-seq on short-read platforms for A. auriculiformis and A. mangium is a rapid approach to discover Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) markers for Acacia auriculiformis x Acacia mangium hybrid linkage map construction.
