Comparing the performances of SSR and SNP markers for population analysis in Theobroma cacao L., as alternative approach to validate a new ddRADseq protocol for cacao genotyping.

Abstract excerpt

Proper cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) plant genotyping is mandatory for the conservation and use of the species genetic resources. A set of 15 international standard SSR markers was assumed as universal cacao genotyping system. Recently, different SNPs and SNP genotyping techniques have been exploited in cacao. However, a consensus on which to use has not been reached yet, driving the search for new approaches. To...
