  abstract = {{P}remise of the study: {W}e developed nuclear microsatellite primers to explore the genetic diversity, population genetic structure, and evolutionary history of the fonio ({D}igitaria exilis), an understudied cereal cultivated in {W}est {A}frica. {M}ethods and {R}esults: {W}e used a microsatellite-enriched library approach to isolate and characterize 38 nuclear primer pairs (31 di-, fi ve tri-, and two tetranucleotide repeats), of which 21 were polymorphic and exhibited a clear pattern in 36 accessions from {W}est {A}frica. {T}he number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 22, with a mean of 4.71, and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.03 to 0.93. {C}onclusions: {T}he developed set of 21 polymorphic {SSR} markers will provide tools for population and evolutionary genetics studies of the cultivated fonio.},
