Abstract
Passiflora alata is one of the commercialized species of the passion vines, grown for its edible fruits. It is found in South America, mainly Paraguay, Argentina, Peru and Brazil. The development of a set of microsatellite markers was proposed to provide tools for analysing both genetic structure of wild populations and the reproductive system of the species, which are poorly understood. Seven markers were developed from a P. alata-genomic library enriched for simple sequence repeats (SSR). Twelve individuals were genotyped, and the levels of the expected heterozygosity ( HE) did show that those markers could be used to develop P. alata genetic studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
