Abstract

Abstract A (GA)nmicrosatellite‐enriched library was constructed and 16 nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were characterized inPhoenix dactylifera. Across‐taxa amplification and genotyping tests showed the utility of most SSR markers in 11 otherPhoenixspecies and the transferability of some of them inElaeis guineensis, 11 species ofPritchardia,Pritchardiopsis jeanneneyiand six species ofAstrocaryum. The first to be published forP. dactylifera, these new SSR resources are available for cultivar identification, pedigree analysis, germplasm diversity as well as genetic mapping studies.
