title: Development, characterization and linkage analysis of microsatellite loci for the Ascochyta blight pathogen of faba bean, Didymella fabae.
abstract: Eighteen microsatellite markers were developed for Didymella fabae, seventeen of which were highly polymorphic among a sample of D. fabae isolates from Syria. Genetic linkage analysis assigned the markers to eight linkage groups. These markers will facilitate population and evolutionary studies of D. fabae and related species.
