M. aMicrosatellite loci transferability from Theobroma cacao to Theobroma grandiflorum.h[electronic resource] c2006 aTheobroma grandiflorum (cupuassu) is an important fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon. Forty-eight microsatellite loci developed for the congener Theobroma cacao were tested in cupuassu, and 29 (60.4%) produced robust alleles. The analyses of 216 cupuassu accessions using the 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci revealed a total of 113 alleles. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from two to 11, with an average of 5.38 alleles per locus. The average observed heterozygosity was 0.343, while the mean expected heterozygosity was 0.614. The successful transferability of T. cacao microsatellite primers to cupuassu was consistent with currently accepted phylogeny. aCacau aCupuaƧu1 aSEBBENN, A. M.1 aARTERO, A.
