RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Mungbean is an important economical crop in Asia. However, genomic research has lagged behind other crop species due to the lack of polymorphic DNA markers found in this crop. The objective of this work is to develop and characterize microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from genome shotgun sequencing of mungbean. RESULT: We have generated and characterized a total of 470,024 genome shotgun sequences covering 100.5 Mb of the mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) genome using 454 sequencing technology. We identified 1,493 SSR motifs that could be used as potential molecular markers. Among 192 tested primer pairs in 17 mungbean accessions, 60 loci revealed polymorphism with polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranging from 0.0555 to 0.6907 with an average of 0.2594. Majority of microsatellite markers were transferable in Vigna species, whereas transferability rates were only 22.90% and 24.43% in Phaseolus vulgaris and Glycine max, respectively. We also used 16 SSR loci to evaluate phylogenetic relationship of 35 genotypes of the Asian Vigna group. The genome survey sequences were further analyzed to search for gene content. The evidence suggested 1,542 gene fragments have been sequence tagged, that fell within intersected existing gene models and shared sequence homology with other proteins in the database. Furthermore, potential microRNAs that could regulate developmental stages and environmental responses were discovered from this dataset. CONCLUSION: In this report, we provided evidence of generating remarkable levels of diverse microsatellite markers and gene content from high throughput genome shotgun sequencing of the mungbean genomic DNA. The markers could be used in germplasm analysis, accessing genetic diversity and linkage mapping of mungbean.

A novel set of microsatellite markers for mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] was developed from the public sequence database. Seventy-eight primers were designed and evaluated for polymorphism among 22 cultivated accessions. Eight polymorphic loci detected two to three alleles per locus with an average of 2.25. The observed heterozygosity varied from 0.00 to 0.18, while the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.09 to 0.46. Among them, all eight loci showed significant departuring from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, while four pairs of loci displayed significant pairwise linkage disequilibrium values. All eight loci except DMB-SSR1 showed heterozygote deficiency.
RESUMEN
In this study, we reported the isolation and analysis of new polymorphic microsatellites in mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek). Twelve out of 210 primer pairs screened in 30 mungbean accessions gave polymorphism. The polymorphic markers detected two to three alleles per locus with an average of 2.08. Observed heterozygosity varied from 0 to 0.133, while expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.095 to 0.498. Tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) and pairwise linkage disequilibrium of the polymorphic loci revealed that all loci except MB-SSR14 significantly departed from HWE and four pairwise combinations, viz. MB-SSR14 vs. MB-SSR42, MB-SSR42 vs. MB-SSR87, MB-SSR114 vs. MB-SSR121, and MB-SSR175 vs. MB-SSR231 significantly deviated from linkage disequilibrium. The markers are being used to study genetic diversity and genome mapping of mungbean.
