Cross legume species/genera transferability of SSR markers and their utility in assessing polymorphism among advanced breeding lines in dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L.)

The use of transferable cross-species/genera SSR markers is an alternative strategy to ensure availability of markers in genomic resources-limited crops such as dolichos bean. A total of 275 cross legume species/genera SSR markers were examined for their transferability to dolichos bean.
