Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the highland papaya Vasconcellea x heilbornii V. Badillo (Caricaceae) Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in the tropical plant Vasconcellea x heilbornii and used to estimate allelic diversity in two populations of southern Ecuador. Allelic richness ranged from two to five alleles, observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.150 to 0.947 and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.186 to 0.701. Most of these markers also amplified microsatellite loci in two other Vasconcellea species (Vaseoncellea ...
