Abstract
Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are short DNA sequences composed of repetitive units typically 1 to 6 base pairs long. These highly variable sequences are found in both protein-coding and noncoding DNA regions and exhibit a high degree of polymorphism. In the present study, chloroplast genomes of five species of Bambusa viz. B. bambos, B. multiplex, B. teres, B. vulgaris, and B. tulda, along with three outgroup species viz. Sorghum timorense, Hordeum vulgare, and Triticum aestivum were retrieved from NCBI in FASTA and GenBank formats and screened for chloroplast SSRs (cpSSRs) using MISA Perl script. The sequence analysis of the chloroplast genomes of different species of Bambusa confirmed the presence of 144 cpSSRs. The number of cpSSRs varied among the five bamboo species, with B. vulgaris exhibiting the highest count (31) and B. multiplex showing the lowest (27). Tetranucleotides were the most observed repeats in Bambusa, followed by mono-, di- and trinucleotides. Of the 144 SSR markers identified, only 16 (11.11 %) were suitable for primer design since the remaining sequences failed to produce acceptable primer pairs. An unweighted pair-group method with an arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram was constructed to analyze the genetic relationships among the genotypes. This analysis revealed three distinct clusters among the genotypes. SSR markers were found to be informative in differentiating the species of Bambusa and were likely to find potential applications in genetic fingerprinting, population genetics, conservation, and phylogenetics.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
