Abstract
Bergenia ciliata (Haw.) Sternb. is an important herb predominantly found in the Indian Himalayan Region. It is widely used in medicines, healthcare systems, cosmetics, fodder, and ornamental purposes. The Illumina sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly were carried out in B. ciliata to develop and identify simple sequence repeat markers. A total of 18 226 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified wherein di-nucleotides were found to be abundant (47.88%), followed by mono-nucleotide (35.03%) and tri-nucleotide (15.88%) repeats. A total of 11 839 EST-SSR primers were designed, of which 96 primer pairs were commercially synthesized. Finally, 17 primer pairs revealed clear, distinct polymorphic bands, and these primers were validated with 40 diverse B. ciliata accessions. The present study revealed moderate level of genetic diversity (Ho = 0.389, He = 0.542, and PIC = 0.513). Furthermore, the transcriptome data and EST-SSR markers generated during the present investigation could be an important genetic resource for functional genomics, population studies, and conservation genetics of the genus Bergenia.
