Abstract
The sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker for simultaneous identification of Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Miscanthus sinensis, and Miscanthus x giganteus was developed. In this study, it was attempted for the first time to develop the SCAR marker for detecting the molecular phenotypes among Miscanthus species. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA technique was applied for this study and one fragment which is unique to M. sacchariflorus was identified and then sequenced. Based on the specific fragment, one SCAR primer pair designated as MS62-5F and MS62-5R was designed to amplify an approximately 1,000 bp DNA fragment within the sequenced region. Diagnostic PCR was performed using the primer pair. Using this SCAR marker, approximately 1,000 bp and 1,200 bp DNA fragments were obtained in M. sacchariflorus and M. sinensis, respectively. Moreover, M. x giganteus was obtained both bands at the same time. The result showed that this SCAR marker can clearly distinguish the M. sacchariflorus, M. sinensis, and M. x giganteus, respectively.
