Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for genetic analysis of a Brazilian endangered tree species Caryocar brasiliense.

abstract：:Seed dormancy is a key adaptive trait under polygenic control in many plants. We introduced the chromosomal regions containing the dormancy QTLs qSD1, qSD7-1, and qSD12 from an accession of weedy rice into a nondormant genetic background to examine component genetic effects and their interactions with time of afterrip...
