this economically important crop. In this study,
90 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were
developed from an enriched genomic library of
yellow Guinea yam (
D. cayenensis

amplification revealed that 85 (94.4%) and 51
(56.7%) of these SSRs could be successfully
transferred to the two major cultivated species
