Development, transferability and mapping of microsatellite markers on a reference BAT93 x JALOEEP558 population.

The main objectives of the present work was: 1) to develop and to make available a set of SSR derived from express sequences (EST) of Phaseolus vulgaris obtained from the GenBank; (2) to genetically characterize a group of EST-SSRs and genomic SSR markers, 4) to examine the transferability of SSR markers among species of the Leguminosae family, 5) to integrate a set of new microsatellite markers into the core map for Bat93 x Jalo EEP558 population
