F. aMicrosatellite molecular markers in the cultivar identification of Brazilian soybean for human consumption. c2007 aThe objective of this research was to exploit the variability of 69 microsatellite marker loci in 18 soybean varieties (group I) to select 10 loci for routine cultivar identification. The selected loci were used to evaluate 32 varieties (group II). In group I an average of 3.36 alleles per locus was observed of a total of 232 alleles and an average of 5.1 alleles per locus for the 32 varieties evaluated in group II. The mean distance values were 0.67 and 0.82 for group I and group II, respectively. The 10 loci selected and evaluated in group II were the most effective to discriminate the genotypes and, therefore, recommended for the characterization of Brazilian soybean cultivars for human nutrition. aAgricultura aBiotecnologia aGenética aGermoplasma aGlycine Max aSoja aMarcadores Moleculares microssatélites aProteção de cultivares aSSR1 aALBERINI, J.
