Genetic diversity and population structure analyses of Plectranthus edulis (Vatke) Agnew collections from diverse agroecologies in Ethiopia using newly developed EST-SSRs marker system

Plectranthus edulis (Vatke) Agnew (locally known as Ethiopian dinich or Ethiopian potato) is one of the most economically important edible tuber crops indigenous to Ethiopia. Evaluating the extent of genetic diversity within and among populations is one of the first and most important steps in breeding and conservation measures.
