1Percent amplification was calculated as: SSRs amplified from the corresponding repeat unit X100/total no. of SSRs tested for amplification from the corresponding repeat unit.
2Percent polymorphism was calculated as: SSRs polymorphic from the corresponding repeat unit X100/total no. of SSRs amplified from the corresponding repeat unit.
