Plant Microsatellite Database

This database contains plant microsatellite markers (Simple Sequence Repeats; SSRs) for the larger part of the last two decades. The dataset was compiled in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet from the Molecular Ecology Resources online database (where authors are required to submit primer information as a condition of publication) at http://tomato.bio.trinity.edu or were manually compiled from published articles in Molecular Ecology, Molecular Ecology Notes, Molecular Ecology Resources, and American Journal of Botany (AJB), spanning in total from 1997 to 2012. The articles were found by screening the Scopus (Elsevier) search engine. Please see the publication for more specifics on how the dataset was compiled and analyzed. Null values are represented with a period (‘.’). We have included a ReadMe file to describe column headings
