J. aIsolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst. ex. A. Rich.) Stap. c2009 a4 p. aTechnical note. aThe first set of nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci for Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) Stap is described. A microsatellite-enriched library was constructed and 19 loci were characterized. About 13 SSR loci were found to be polymorphic and across-taxa amplification tests showed that six of them can be transferred to four other species of Brachiaria. This new SSR resource will be a powerful tool for population genetic studies of B. brizantha, for interspecific genetic studies within the genus Brachiaria, for mapping and for marker assisted selection in breeding. aBrachiaria Brizantha aGramínea Forrageira aMarcador Molecular aMelhoramento Genético Vegetal aPastagem aBraquiária aMicrosatélite1 aSOUZA, A.
