Evaluation of the genetic diversity and available resources within Coffea and development of molecular markers transferable across species are important steps for breeding of the two cultivated species. We worked on 15 species with 60 microsatellite markers developed using different strategies (SSR-enriched libraries, BAC libraries, gene sequences). We focused our analysis on 4 species used for commercial or breeding purposes. Our results establish the high transferability of microsatellite markers within Coffea. We show the large amount of diversity available within wild species for breeding applications. Finally we discuss the consequences for future comparative mapping studies and breeding of the two cultivated species. specialized 076 51 1 50-63 2008 0831-2796 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040985 10.1139/G07-096 0831-2796 [F B010040985] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040985 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2008/03/010040985.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2008-03-31 2017-08-23 fdi:010040985 fre
