Abstract excerpt
Genetic improvement in coconut relies on exploiting the vast existing diversity among coconut accessions. Robust molecular markers are a pre-requisite for efficient characterization of genetic diversity. Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), mined from expressed sequence tags (ESTs), constitute an important resource for analysis of genetic diversity as they are abundant, polymorphic and represent...
