; Kim et al., 2015a ; Melgar and Havey, 2010 ). Kim et al. (2015a ) proposed AcPMS1 as the candidate gene for Ms , and segregation of this marker and the tightly linked jnurf13 marker ( Kim, 2014 ) were consistent with male-fertility restoration
diversity for this species. Unfortunately, very few molecular markers are available to investigate the genetic diversity for Chinese Incense-cedar to date. In this report, we describe development of 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci for ongoing population

markers is a powerful tool for genetic analysis because of its simplicity and ease of handling ( Kojima et al., 1998 ) providing an opportunity for direct comparison and identification of olive tree material independently from environment and
alone can be problematic, as these characters can be quantitative and continuous and influenced by the environment ( Wadl et al., 2012 ). However, SSR markers that are randomly distributed throughout the nuclear genome have the appropriate distribution
; Tongpamnak et al., 2002 ). Three studies have included Indian lychee cultivars in the molecular analysis, using ISSR ( Degani et al., 2003 ), SSR ( Madhou et al., 2013 ), and RAPD ( Kumar et al., 2010 ) markers. Unlike many other genotyping techniques, AFLP
majestic quality that attracts immediate interest. Beside their ornamental values, they constitute the most important plants in arid and desert areas. Based on traditional markers, like growth habit, breeding behavior and other morphological characters
prerequisite for future breeding and crop improvement programs. More recently, attention has been focused on the use of different DNA molecular markers to discriminate among tea germplasms such as restriction fragment length polymorphism [RFLP ( Kaundun and
environmental factors, parental selection should be based on genetic information that is reliable and consistent. This information will be a valuable tool in support of the genetic improvement of this species in the future. Molecular markers are widely used to
markers associated with traits of interest, permitting the use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) for traits expressed in late development ( Gulsen et al., 2010 ). Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) is a rapid procedure used to efficiently identify markers
