make the best SSR markers for rice. Cho et al (2000) demonstrated that, on average,long SSRs tend to be more polymorphic than shorter ones, no matter what the motifis, and this characteristic was in agreement with studies in human and other species(Weber 1990, Goldstein and Clark 1995).Length classification of SSRs and relationship to polymorphismBecause the length of the SSR repeat unit in any single genome has proven to be areasonably good predictor of overall polymorphism in related genotypes, microsatelliteloci in this study were categorized into two groups based on the length of the repeatmotif. As summarized in Figure 1, class I consists of hypervariable markers, classifiedas perfect SSRs >20 nt in length, and class II consists of potentially variablemarkers, defined as SSRs >12 nt and
