Transferability and characterization of simple sequence repeat markers from Anacardium occidentale to A. humile (Anacardiaceae)

L. G. Cota, Moreira, P. A., Menezes, E. V., Gomes, A. S., Ericsson, A. R. O., Oliveira, D. A., and Melo, Jr., A. F., Transferability and characterization of simple sequence repeat markers from Anacardium occidentale to A. humile (Anacardiaceae), vol. 11, pp. 4609-4616, 2012.

Use of molecular markers can be limited by the high cost and extensive time required for their development. Transfer of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers reduces the cost and time limitations and has allowed the use of these markers in a larger number of species. We tested 11 SSR markers previously developed for Anacardium occidentale on A. humile. The 11 loci were successfully amplified in A. humile. All loci were polymorphic and generated a mean of 5.4 alleles per locus.
