Abstract excerpt
Fourteen microsatellite loci of Phoenix dactylifera were targeted to examine the genetic diversity in Tunisian date-palms germplasm. They showed a high level of polymorphism in 49 accessions from three main oases with little geographic structure within Tunisia. The microsatellite data agrees with previous analyses of Tunisian germplasm using other molecular markers. 100% of local date-palms accessions were...
