A simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based linkage map has been constructed for perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) using a one-way pseudo-testcross reference population. A total of 309 unique perennial ryegrass SSR (LPSSR) primer pairs showing efficient amplification were evaluated for genetic polymorphism, with 31% detecting segregating alleles. Ninety-three loci have been assigned to positions on seven linkage groups. The majority of the mapped loci are derived from cloned sequences containing (CA)(n)-type dinucleotide SSR arrays. A small number (7%) of primer pairs amplified fragments that mapped to more than one locus. The SSR locus data has been integrated with selected data for RFLP, AFLP and other loci mapped in the same population to produce a composite map containing 258 loci. The SSR loci cover 54% of the genetic map and show significant clustering around putative centromeric regions. BLASTN and BLASTX analysis of the sequences flanking mapped SSRs indicated that a majority (84%) are derived from non-genic sequences, with a small proportion corresponding to either known repetitive DNA sequence families or predicted genes. The mapped LPSSR loci provide the basis for linkage group assignment across multiple mapping populations.
