Development of microsatellite markers for anthracnose resistance in greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) from expressed sequence tags of heterologous crop species

Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.), belonging to the family Dioscoreaceae, is a staple food crop of the tropics. It is cultivated for its edible, nutritious, underground tubers. Its productivity declined due to anthracnose disease. There was no sequence information for yam in the public database. Ther...
