Online published on 7 October, 2019. Abstract Out of 28 SSR markers screened, seven (25%) markers were found to stable, reproducible and highly polymorphic amplifications in 16 Artocarpus heterophyllus accessions and 5 related species. The number of alleles per marker ranged from 6 to 17 with a PIC per marker ranging from 0.73 to 0.89. The haplotype also showed unique banding patterns in the 21 accessions of Artocarpus across the seven primers with 67% similarity. This denotes a potentially successful interfamilial amplification and transferability of the selected SSR markers to jackfruit.
