Here are some summaries of reported wheat EST-SSR projects, including which EST-SSRs are being tested.

    • Meerut lab (Gupta, Balyan, Rustgi)
      80 wheat EST-SSRs that are not in the Sorrells set of Uni-EST-SSRs.

    • Cornell lab (Sorrells, Yu, Kantety, LaRota)
      The project is focused on the 179 superclusters that contain both wheat and rice ESTs. Primers have been designed and are being tested. Meanwhile, the primers have been submitted to GrainGenes and will be available as soon as Dave gets time to load them.
      Wheat ESTs being studied (579)
      Wheat ESTs not being studied (1333)
      Superclusters not being studied (395)

    • Gatersleben lab (Stein, Varshney)
      The projects are primarily on barley and on interspecies EST-SSRs. Results can't be released prior to publication but can be shared on an MTA basis. The list of ESTs being studied can be released.

    • Genoplante (Sourdille)
      Results on wheat EST-SSRs can possibly be made publicly available. Checking with the Genoplante committee.

    I'll try to get these organized in a more searchable/convenient way as soon as I can.
