Two different gametic LD measures, multiallelic D' and r, were used.
They have the same characteristics as nuclear microsatellites, including a multiallelic and codominant nature.
SSR markers are multiallelic and well adapted for fine analysis of population diversity structure.
SSRs are ideal tools for such studies as they are PCR-based markers, genetically defined, typically co-dominant, multiallelic, and uniformly dispersed throughout plant genomes.
SSR loci tend to be both multiallelic and highly polymorphic for repeat number, which is easily scored and used for genotyping.
Because of their multiallelic and reproducible nature, SSRs have been extensively used in mapping studies [e.g. [ 18, 19]] and for genome anchoring [ 5, 6].
Microsatellite or SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers are co-dominant, multiallelic, and highly polymorphic genetic markers, appropriate for genetic diversity studies.
SNPs are biallelic, implying that the He value can not exceed 0.5, whereas SSRs are multiallelic and so it can be higher.
Information can be combined from biallelic and multiallelic markers and from single markers along with multimarker analyses.
Many Poaceae species show a gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system, which is controlled by at least two independent and multiallelic loci, S and Z. Until currently, the gene products for S and Z were unknown.
