| Maize (Zea mays L.) microsatellite loci are useful as genetic markers because they are numerous, occur in every chromosome, and have a high content of polymorphism information. Furthermore, they can be amplified by PCR and the resulting fragments resolved on agarose gels. A major problem, however, is that the primers used in their amplification often have different length and nucleic acid content, requiring optimization of PCR amplification programs for each locus. We developed "touchdown" PCR programs successfully used in the amplification of a set of 125-maize microsatellite loci, chosen as representative of all chromosomes. The programs varied both in relation to the annealing temperature (Tm) and primer concentration. Primers could be divided into four... |

| Molecular markers have been used extensively to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling disease resistance in plants. Mapping is usually done by establishing a statistical association between molecular marker genotypes and quantitative variations in disease resistance. However, most statistical approaches require a continuous distribution of the response variable, a requirement not always met since evaluation of disease resistance is often done using visual ratings based on an ordinal scale of disease severity. This paper discusses the application of the proportional odds model to the mapping of disease resistance genes in plants amenable to expression as ordinal data. The model was used to map two resistance QTL of maize to Puccinia sorghi. The... |

| Molecular markers were used to estimate the effect of mineral nitrogen on the phenotypic expression of quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling the number of Rhizobium nodules (NN) and resistance to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli in the common bean. Recombinant inbred lines derived from a BAT-93 x Jalo EEP558 cross were grown in a greenhouse in the absence or presence (5 mM NH4NO3) of nitrogen. Resistance to Xanthomonas was assessed as diseased leaf area (DLA) and the number of nodules was obtained by direct counting. Analyses of variance were used to detect significant associations between 85 marker loci from 12 linkage groups (LG) and quantitative traits. In the absence of nitrogen, 15 and 11 markers, distributed over 7 and 5 LG, showed a... |
