摘要: Insertion-deletion (indel) polymorphisms are the second most frequent type of in genomes following single nucleotide (SNPs). As one types indel markers to detect among individuals, we focus on targeting intron length (ILPs) this chapter. Intron polymorphism (IP) including ILP based more abundant regions compared exon regions. Conserved genic sequences and structures exon-intron junctions allow development IP for orphan crops without genomic information. Based syntenic relationships related species, can be developed interest single-copy genes, such as containing quantitative trait loci (QTL). Although introns non-coding they suggested have functions control transcription. In some cases, ILPs directly associated with variation functional (FNPs). This chapter reviews recent studies characteristics IPs, especially ILPs, how develop markers, their application genetic analysis molecular breeding crops.
