Abstract
Microsatellites are some of the most highly variable repetitive DNA tracts in genomes. Few studies focus on whether the characteristic instability of microsatellites is linked to phenotypic effects in plants. We summarise recent data to investigate how microsatellite variations affect gene expression and hence phenotype. We discuss how the basic characteristics of microsatellites may contribute to phenotypic effects. In summary, microsatellites in plants are universal and highly mutable, they coexist and coevolve with transposable elements, and are under selective pressure. The number of motif nucleotides, the type of motif and transposon activity all contribute to the nonrandom generation and decay of microsatellites, and to conservation and distribution biases. Although microsatellites are generated by accident, they mature through responses to environmental change before final decay. This process is mediated by organism adjustment mechanisms, which maintain a balance between birth versus death and growth versus decay in microsatellites. Close relationships also exist between the physical structure, variation and functionality of microsatellites: in most plant species, sequences containing microsatellites are associated with catalytic activity and binding functions, are expressed in the membrane and organelles, and participate in the developmental and metabolic processes. Microsatellites contribute to genome structure and functional plasticity, and may be considered to promote species evolution in plants in response to environmental changes. In conclusion, the generation, loss, functionality and evolution of microsatellites can be related to plant gene expression and functional alterations. The effect of microsatellites on phenotypic variation may be as significant in plants as it is in animals.
