Abstract
Summary: Potential polymorphism of an (AT)n microsatellite at the 3' end of waxy genes in bread wheat was examined. Primers were designed from a published cDNA sequence of a wheat waxy gene. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of genomic DNA from 135 mainly Australian cultivars revealed eight alleles on chromosomes 7A. This polymorphic microsatellite is a potential codominant marker for the Wx-Al locus in breeding programmes. A distinguishable fragment was also amplified from chromosome 7D. This fragment was absent where a plant was null for the waxy gene on chromosome 7D, being a dominant marker for the Wx-Dl locus. The primers were also useful for amplifying genomic DNA from barley, rye and triticale and can be used to detect potential polymorphism in these species
