“…(Saal et al, 2001), or Pyrus communis L. (Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2006)], and the data can be analyzed as if the species were diploids. So far, five microsatellite markers have been described in black cherry (Downey and Iezzoni, 2000;Pairon and Jacquemart, 2005), among which two amplified both duplicated loci with overlapping expected allele ranges (M4c, Ps12a02), one amplified both loci with different allele ranges (pchpgms3), and two (pchgms2, PceGA34) were genome-specific (Pairon and Jacquemart, 2005).…”
