Abstract excerpt
Fifteen chloroplast microsatellite (cpSSR) markers were tested to analyze cytoplasmic variation in a set of watermelon accessions containing 67 Chinese watermelon germplasms (CWGs) and 19 non-Chinese watermelon germplasms (NCGs), and 11 were polymorphic. These polymorphic cpSSR markers detected 2-4 alleles (mean = 2.8) in all the accessions, with diversity values ranging from 0.047 to 0.427 (mean = 0.252). Based...
