Abstract: | We present a new set of 15 polymorphic microsatellite primer sequences developed from Ficus carica L. The variability of specific microsatellite regions was assessed in wild population of figs from the northern Adriatic coast and all 15 primer pairs showed single‐locus amplification with a total of 65 alleles and an observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.285 to 0.863. The 15 new microsatellite loci represent a significant tool for population genetic structure studies and will be further used to investigate the origin and maintenance of genetic variation within and between populations of figs along the Adriatic coastal region. |
