Amplified Consensus Genetic Markers (ACGM) were developed for Taxodiaceae species usingCryptomeria japonica ESTs data. Based on the ACGMs, several fragments amplificated by differentprimers were choose for sequencing and gene cloning. The main conclusions were as follows:
1. After a comparison of Cryptomeria japonica and Arabidopsis ESTs to search for conservedsequence,237single e-PCR products were obtained. We randomly selected110candidate ACGMmarkers to test. In the110candidate ACGM markers tested,106...
