Personal Communications Etc.:
Reports from: http://oatnog.com/PAG2006.htm
ESTs: Currently there are 7640 in Genbank. Most of these have been submitted by Mark Sorrells from earlier RFLP work, and by Howard Rines (approximately 7103). Others have indicated that collections of ESTs may be submitted in the near future.
Oat-specific
SSRs:
Oat-derived SSRs have been developed by
Graham Scoles lab (Li et al 2000) and the
Screening
SSRs from other species:
- Stine Tuvesson (Svalof) suggested that those screening public SSRs from other species in oat should coordinate to avoid duplication. She indicated their lab was conducting some work in this area.
- Tim Langdon, John Valentine and Catherine Howarth (Oatlink: http://www.iger.bbsrc.ac.uk/OatLink/) are screening many public SSR sets for use in oats and welcome coordination with other groups to prevent duplication.
- Stephen Molnar (AAFC Ottawa) has screened many barley SSRs in oat with some success.
- Scoles/Rossnagel/Eckstein (U Sask) are interested in screening SSRs and willing to coordinate with other labs.
EST
SSRs:
A large set of EST SSRs with potential to work across grass species was developed in Mark Sorrells lab. These and other efforts are summarized on Graingenes: http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/ITMI/EST-SSR/summaries.html
Mark Sorrels indicated that he is continuing work in this area.
Other
PCR markers:
- Alan Schulman (
- Joe Anderson (Purdue) indicated that he is having success with RAPD based markers using modified PCR protocols. Other marker work is being initiated in this lab.
- Stephen Molnar’s lab (AAFC Ottawa) has converted many RAPD and RFLP markers to “SCAR” markers and is currently publishing some of this work.
