S.  aDiscovery and characterization of polymorphic simple sequence repeats (SSRs)  c1999  aCultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L), an important agronomic crop, exhibits a considerable amount of variability for morphological traits and for resistance to diseases and pests. In contrast, molecular marker assays have detected little variation at the nucleic acid level. Identification of molecular markers would be of great help to peanut breeders, geneticists, and taxonomists. The objectives of this work were to identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in cultivated peanut and to test these markers for their ability to discriminate among accessions.1 aCASA, A.
