Microsatellite variability in peach [ Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]: cultivar identification, marker mutation, pedigree inferences and population structure.

Abstract excerpt

A collection of 212 peach and nectarine cultivars covering a wide variation of the species were studied with 16 polymorphic single-locus microsatellite, or simple-sequence repeat (SSR), markers. The average number of alleles per locus was 7.3, 35% of the cultivar x locus combinations analyzed were heterozygous and 87% of the cultivars studied could be individually identified. Most of the groups where two or more...
