Progeny analysis by microsatellites in crosses of Coffea arabica L.

Abstract

The objective of this report the analysis of two C. arabica crosses with some microsatellite to show their Mendelian inheritance and their use in molecular assisted breeding programmes. In the first cross we analysed 51 microsatellite and the parents showed different alleles for 4 systeMON. All the progeny has the same alleles as expected by Mendelian inheritance. The second cross was analysed with 30 microsatellites, two of which proved to be homozygote in the parents while all the progeny was heterozygote.
