“…The marker loci are probably homologous regions with similar alleles. Several studies have been performed to assess genetic diversity in Pennisetum species using molecular markers such as RAPDs, isozymes, ISSRs, AFLPs, and SSRs (Azevedo et al., ; Babu et al., ; Bhandari, Sukanya, & Ramesh, ; Harris, Anderson, & Malik, ; López et al., ; Lowe, Thorpe, Teale, & Hanson, ), and this study provided an expanded set of transferable EST‐SSR markers from other genus in a genetic diversity study on Pennisetum collections.…”
