Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Phytophthora megakarya is the agent of black pod disease of cacao and is the main pathogen of this crop in Africa. Population genetic studies are required to investigate how this pathogen emerged. To this end, we developed 12 novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for P. megakarya. METHODS AND RESULTS: Microsatellite sequences were obtained by pyrosequencing of multiplex-enriched...
