“…Polymorphic SSR markers appear to be more desired for genotyping vegetatively propagated plants than other DNA fingerprinting methods because they are highly informative (show high polymorphism), reproducible, technically simple (they are simpler than several other techniques), robust, and suitable for automated allele detection and sizing (Nybom and Lācis, 2021;Rafalski and Tingey, 1993). SSR markers for the Rubus species were first developed in early 2000s (Amsellem et al, 2001) and, in subsequent years, a number of studies were conducted involving several plant species (Castillo et al, 2010;Graham et al, 2004Graham et al, , 2002Kalia et al, 2011;Pinczinger et al, 2020). Pinczinger et al (2020) used sixteen SSR markers, divided into six multiplexes, successfully identified the raspberry cultivars, and found that of the 33 samples considered, only 24 samples appeared to be true-to-type, whereas nine samples were found to be wrongly labeled.…”
