“…To overcome drawbacks of some of these molecular markers using non-specific primers, Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) is considered as the markers of choice, given to their abundance, high polymorphism, reproducibility, and codominant inheritance (Varshney et al, 2005;Wünsch and Hormaza, 2002;Morgante et al, 1998Morgante et al, , 2002. Advantages of using SSR markers in plant germplasm characterization, in comparison to other PCR based markers have been well proved as reported in high number of published works in many crops (Achtak et al, 2009;Sefc et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2009;Fossati et al, 2005;Belaj et al, 2003).…”
