Renee Arias, Katheryn Chen, Gayle Volk (eds). This eBook describes the development and use of microsatellite markers for use in genotyping several species of tropical fruit trees and ornamentals. The first chapter provides a general overview of the value of microsatellite markers for identification and conservation of tropical fruit trees and ornamentals, as well as a brief description of the methods used to identify the microsatellite markers. Each of the crops for which microsatellite primers were developed has a dedicated chapter that includes the primer sequences, fingerprinting results, and BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) results, as well as links to datasets and brief explanations of the applied results.
