Genetic Assessment of Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) Varieties Using SSR Markers Developed from Cucurbit species

The cross-species application of SSR markers, originally developed in melon and cucumber, was examined for watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) in an attempt to characterize genetic diversity. Eighty-two SSR loci out of 200 SSRs from melons and 96 SSRs from the cucumber were detected in the watermelon var...

Summary:The cross-species application of SSR markers, originally developed in melon and cucumber, was examined for watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) in an attempt to characterize genetic diversity. Eighty-two SSR loci out of 200 SSRs from melons and 96 SSRs from the cucumber were detected in the watermelon varieties. Among the 82 primers, 15 revealed polymorphisms in 24 watermelon varieties. In addition, 12 polymorphic primer sets were selected from 52 of the SSRs derived from the watermelon. A total of 72 polymorphic amplified fragments were obtained using 27 SSR markers.
