“…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). Moreover, SSRs have been used to obtain a saturated genome map of M. acuminata (Hippolyte et al, 2010), to investigate genetic variability between M. acuminata mutants resistant to salinity (Miri et al, 2014) or to assess the identification of Musa accessions in reference DNA collections (Christelová et al, 2011).…”
