Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats are stretches of short tandemly repeated DNA sequence motifs, dispersed throughout the genomes of most eukaryotes. Simple sequence repeat polymorphisms (SSRPs) have recently been reported in plants. Here we present the genetic map position of seven different soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Glycine soja Sieb. and Zucc.) SSRPs contained in sequenced genes, four of which represent newly mapped positions for these genes. The other three SSRPs coincided with independently established RFLP map positions for the corresponding genes. When a set of 61 soybean accessions was screened at four of these loci by using agarose gels, the average number of alleles per locus was 7.75, the effective number of alleles (ne) was 2.57, and the level of allele differentiation (delta T) was 0.62. Allelic variation decreased sharply with increasing levels of domestication, with the level of differentiation going from 84% in the wild soybean to 43% in the elite germplasm. Variation levels observed on a subset made of 19 of the 61 lines were always higher for SSRPs than for RFLP markers, with the average number of alleles per locus going from 4.25 to 2.15. In comparison with RFLP markers, SSRPs are more informative and are easier to analyse but require more effort to develop.
