TL;DR: The present study suggests the SNP markers as the best class of markers for characterizing and conserving the genebank materials and the AFLP and SSR markers more suitable for diversity analysis and fingerprinting.

TL;DR: The study provides an insight about the frequency and distribution of SSRs in coffee transcriptome, and also demonstrates the successful development of genic-SSRs.

TL;DR: Draft genome information for five agriculturally, biologically, medicinally, and economically important underutilized plants native to Africa will be useful to identify and characterize agronomically important genes and understand their modes of action, enabling genomics-based, evolutionary studies, and breeding strategies to design faster, more focused, and predictable crop improvement programs.

TL;DR: The development of nine new microsatellite markers from partial genomic library of an elite variety of Coffea arabica reveal robust cross-species amplifications in 17 related species of coffee and suggest their potential use as genetic markers for assessment of germplasm diversity and linkage analysis of coffee.

TL;DR: Techniques include transgressive methods that involve defining exemplar crop models for effective new and orphan crop improvement pathways that serve as important models for understanding crop evolutionary processes more broadly, guiding further major crop evolution.
