“…In this sense, different works have been carried out for characterization of SSR markers from M. balbisiana (Buhariwalla et al, 2005;Ravishankar et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2011) and M. acuminata (Amorim et al, 2012;Creste et al, 2006;Crouch et al, 1997Crouch et al, , 1998Miller et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010), whereas other studies have been focused on the development of SSR markers suitable for analysis of both species and/or hybrid cultivars (Brisibe & Ubi, 2020;Kaemmer et al, 1997;Lagoda et al, 1998;Ravishankar et al, 2012;Silva et al, 2015). In other publications, sets of primers previously developed have been used for molecular characterization of Musa varieties (Bawin et al, 2019;Durai et al, 2018;Grapin et al, 1998), including cultivars from certain regions as Brazil (Creste et al, 2003(Creste et al, , 2004, Malawi (Changadeya et al, 2012), East Africa (Nzawele et al, 2018;Onyango et al, 2008;Perrier et al, 2019), Indonesia (Retnoningsih et al, 2009), the Philippines (dela Cruz et al, 2020) or Tanzania (Mgonja et al, 2020).…”
