Technical Abstract: This book is a compilation of 4,848 molecular markers USDA-ARS scientists developed for 17 species, including 13 tropical fruit trees, two edible bamboo, and two ornamental trees. The book provides the primer sequences of the markers along with the results of testing those markers on 2 - 30 DNA samples. It also includes allele calling and comments on scoring quality of the markers, and the results of basic-local-alignment search tool (BLAST) analysis using the non-redundant PLANT database from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). A link to a Harvard Dataverse database with all the FASTA files of sequences used to generate the markers is also included. The content of the book is completely searchable, and is intended for scientists performing identification of species or accessions in banks of germplasm, as well as for research in population genetics.
