一个男性特定的疤 DNA 标记用为 Salacca zalacca var 的男植物特定的一个 RAPD DNA 标记被开发。zalacca (salak 手掌) 。标记是 1579 ? 长的 bp 并且有 38.5 的一个 GC 内容 ?% 。它的顺序包含 1 或 2 个开的读物框架,显示标记可能是一个编码区域。没有高度类似的序列在 GenBank 数据库的搜索被发现。性为种子的数字每水果(1, 2 或 3 ) 组织的三种幼苗用 SCAR DNA 标记被识别。到男性的女性的性比率没为三种幼苗与 1:1 显著地不同,暗示种子的数字不每水果是识别一棵幼苗的性的一个可靠索引。
A male-specific SCAR DNA marker was developed using a RAPD DNA marker specific for male plants of Salacca zalacca var. zalacca (salak palm). The marker is 1579 bp long and has a GC content of 38.5 %. Its sequence contains 1 or 2 open reading frames, indicating the marker is probably a coding region. No highly similar sequences were found in a search of the GenBank database. Sexes were identified using the SCAR DNA marker for three kinds of seedlings grouped by the number of seeds per fruit (1, 2 or 3). The sex ratio of female to male did not differ significantly from 1:1 for the three kinds of seedlings, implying that the number of seeds per fruit is not a reliable index to identify the sex of a seedling.
