, SSR markers are gradually being applied for the identification of hybrid purity, including rice ( Oryza sativa L.) ( Sundaram et al., 2008 ), pigeon pea ( Cicer microphyllum Royle ex Benth) ( Saxena et al., 2010 ), sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L

, could enhance important chrysanthemum ornamental traits. Hence, development of polymorphic markers is urgently needed. Molecular markers are valuable tools used in genetic linkage map construction and MAS breeding. Among molecular markers, SSR markers

). Compared with the molecular markers mentioned above, SSR (microsatellite) markers, which are 1 to 6 bp DNA regions repeated in tandem, have desirable advantages, such as codominance, random distribution throughout the genome, a high level of polymorphisms

addition, the transferability of SSR markers between Primula species is exceptionally low. SSR markers are considered to be effective in genetic diversity analysis, linkage, and QTL mapping; marker-assisted selection; and so on ( Rosazlina et al., 2015

molecular markers, simple sequence repeats (SSRs), also known as microsatellites, are characterized by high abundance, codominant inheritance, excellent reproducibility, and amenability to automated scoring with software, making them ideal markers for DNA
