Both the high-level transferability among G. hirsutum cv.
A high level of transferability was noted between rice, wheat and barley [ 17].
The high level of transferability indicated that these markers would be highly effective for molecular study of Arachis species.
Their high level of transferability to other Solanaceae species can be used to provide anchoring points for the integration of genetic maps across species.
EST-SSRs are known to have high level of transferability across taxa and could be useful as anchor markers for comparative mapping and evolutionary studies [ 45].
Another important feature of EST-SSR markers is their expected high level of transferability to related species that makes them very promising for comparative mapping.
Previous publications [ 1, 2, 7, 8] and the present study have revealed that coffee EST-SSR and SSR markers show a high level of transferability across distantly related species, thereby providing additional markers for orphan Rubiaceae species.
This could explain the high level of transferability of this marker and, as expected, DNA polymorphism was not detected at this marker locus on melon accessions and other cucurbit species.
The high level of transferability between the seven Solanum spp. mirrors the experience in other groups of plants [ 47]; furthermore we detect a low level of intraspecific polymorphism which seems to confirm the conclusion that EST-SSRs are highly conserved across species [ 48].
With regards to the second question, it is revealed that the return on immigrant educational attainment is higher for immigrants than for the Japanese, partly due to the high level of international transferability of educational attainment among the highly educated, or due to the high ambition necessary for educational achievement.
The high level of SSR transferability allows the use of a large number of SSRs from public M. truncatula EST on alfalfa.
