Premise Of The Study:
Microsatellite primers were developed for taro (Colocasia esculenta) to investigate its population genetics and evolutionary history through germplasm improvement. •
Methods And Results:
Nineteen microsatellite loci were identified in three populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to seven, with a mean of 4.68. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.231 to 0.820 and from 0.126 to 0.742, respectively. •
Conclusions:
These new genetic markers will be useful for the study of taro germplasm management and population evolution in southwestern China.
