Consolidated list of 300 EMBRA microsatellite markers. Summary of all the information for the 230 new microsatellite markers reported in this study (EMBRA71 through EMBRA395) plus 70 published earlier (EMBRA1 through EMBRA70) [10,26] including the Genbank accession number of the original sequences from which the microsatellite primer pairs were designed. Information includes: the microsatellite EMBRA number, repeat motif, forward and reverse primer sequences, recommended annealing temperature (°C), size of expected product in basepairs, and linkage group assignment. Map position is described for 161 plus 4 duplicated loci, (see text), totalling 165 loci that were mapped in the E. grandis G44 × E. urophylla U28 mapping population. (n.s. = microsatellite not segregating in the mapping pedigree; n.a. = not available raw sequence data for submisison to Genbank).
