          the procedure for wheat variety uniformity assessment on the basis of seed purity and SSR-HLRs
        
        
          Samples of wheat varieties
        
        
          DNA isolation from 100 individuals for each variety
        
        
          Genotype individuals using 30 SSR markers
        
        
          (Labeled by * in Table 4 and include 21 first-grade markers)
        
        
          Discrimination of contaminant individuals from non-homozygous SSR loci
        
        
          Count the number of contaminant individuals in each variety
        
        
          Calculate seed purity
        
        
          Varieties with seed purity > 95%
        
        
          Varieties with seed purity ≤95%
        
        
          No uniformity
        
        
          (~10% in regional trail)
        
        
          Confirmation of non-homozygous SSR loci on the basis of
        
        
          the genotypes of 21 first-grade markers
        
        
          Varieties with 21 homozygous loci
        
        
          (~60 % in regional trials)
        
        
          Varieties with ≥ one non-homozygous locus

          Uniform
        
        
          Take the DNA samples of 20 individuals for SSR-HLR detection
        
        
          Detection of non-homozygous SSR loci using 29 second-grade markers (In fact, the data of nine of 29
