Description
Zoysiagrass consists of a number of interfertile species, some of which are important grasses for turfgrass and grazing pasture in Japan. Recently, we developed simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers from Zoysia japonica “Asagake” genomic DNA by enriched genomic library method (Yamamoto et al., 2002). Here we identify genetic diversity in 38 ecotypes of zoysiagrass (Z. matrella and Z. tenuifolia) from a group of southwest islands of Japan based on morphological characteristics and SSR markers.
