Özet
Microsatellites are important for research in both basic and applied sciences. Understanding how genes containing microsatellites are expressed and regulated in different tissues and developmental stages is a fundamental and challenging question. However, there has been limited study of differential expression of genes containing microsatellites in different plant tissues and developmental stages. We studied microsatellite-containing gene expression profiles in 16 different tissues and at different developmental stages in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Results indicated that tissue-specific genes contained more dinucleotide microsatellites, and housekeeping genes contained more trinucleotide microsatellites. Differential expression patterns of microsatellite-containing genes indicated that, in the longer term, development of allele-specific markers for genes controlling agronomic traits will be useful for advancing the science of plant breeding. This is the first report on differential expression of microsatellite-containing genes within tissues and developmental stages in pepper.
