Screening of SSR Markers in Corylus yunnanensis

C. yunnanensis is an important species of Genus Corylus in southwest China. In this paper, nine SSR markers were successfully characterized and were used to analyze the population genetic diversity and structure of C. yunnanensis, showing a moderate degree of genetic diversity and differentiation. And all these established the foundation of genetic improvement in C. yunnanensis, and helped to effectively preserve and utilize the germplasm resources of genus Corylus.
