Abstract：A collection of 36 cherry genotypes from diverse geographic areas were fingerprinted with 33 microsatellite primer pairs developed in different species of Prunus in order to identify and characterize the genotypes and establish their genetic relations. 29 of these primer pairs produced meaningful amplifications and 17 produced polymorphic repeatable amplification patterns among the 36 genotypes studied. A total of 71 alleles were detected for the 17 loci. All the genotypes studied could be unequivocally distinguished with the combinations of the microsatellite markers used. The results provided evidence for cross-species applicability of microsatellite sequences, which allows the discrimination of different genotypes within a fruit species with sequences developed in other species. UPGMA cluster anlaysis of the similarity data was used to group the genotypes in respect to their geographic origin and/or their pedigree information.
