Microsatellite marker for Lr39

GDM35 primer sequences and amplification conditions are as in Pestsova et al. 2000 (Genome 43(4):689-697).

Primers sequences:

GDM35-L   5'- CCT GCT CTG CCC TAG ATA CG -3' 
GDM35-R   5'- ATG TGA ATG TGA TGC ATG CA -3' 
   

Final concentrations of the reagents used in the PCR amplification (volume: 25 µl)

  • 50 ng genomic DNA
  • 12.5 pmol each primer
  • 0.2 mM each dNTP
  • 0.625 U Taq
  • 1x PCR buffer
  • 2 mM MgCl2

PCR cycling:

  • 4 min at 94°C
  • 30 cycles of 30s at 94°C, 30s at 55°C, 30s at 72°C
  • Final extension for 5 min at 72°C.

PCR products are resolved on 2.3% SFR high resolution agarose gels.
