Despite its socio-economic importance, the spatial distribution of its genetic diversity is barely documented. In this aim, 48 nuclear microsatellite markers were isolated of which 14 were polymorphic in M. fragrans. Number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 6. The level of observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.038 to 0.929 across loci. Transferability of these microsatellites in other Myristica species (M. fatua, M. argentea, and M. crassipes) and Myristicaceae species (Horsfieldia palauensis) was tested and successful. These new microsatellites will be useful for future investigation on genetic diversity and population structure of M. fragrans and phylogenetically-related species. specialized Myristica Nutmeg Microsatellites Fruit tree species Spices 076 020 47 6 4835-4840 2020 0301-4851 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010078070 10.1007/s11033-020-05535-y 0301-4851 [F B010078070] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010078070 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2020/06/010078070.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-07-02 2022-04-15 fdi:010078070 fre
