| Abstract: | We developed new simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in different species of yam (Dioscorea sp.). A microsatellite‐enriched bank was created from Dioscorea alata, Dioscorea abyssinica and Dioscorea praehensilis. Sixteen polymorphic loci were characterized. Several of these markers are transferable to species of other Dioscorea sections. |
