AFLP vs SSR markers in population genetic studies: Genetic diversity of Dalmatian sage (Salvia officinalis L.)

AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) and SSR (Single Sequence Repeats ; microsatellites) markers are widely used in plant genetic studies and it is fair to say that the fundamental insights into plant population dynamics and structure have been gained from the analysis of either AFLP or SSR data, or both. The AFLP technique requires no prior knowledge of the genetic make-up of a species and produces a large number of polymorphic fragments that are generally scored as dominant markers. SSRs, on the other hand, are speciesspecific, codominant, multiallelic markers. In this study, we wanted to compare some basic population genetic parameters calculated on the basis of both marker systems.
