Analysis of microsatellites from transcriptome sequences of Phytophthora capsici and applications for population studies

Abstract Phytophthora capsici is a devastating oomycete that affects solanaceous, cucurbitaceous, fabaceous, and other crops in the United States (US) and worldwide. The release of the P. capsici genome allows for design of robust markers for genetic studies. We identified and characterized microsat...
