Coriander is a spice crop mainly used for seasoning in cooking. For the improvement of this crop very limited literature is available for molecular studies. Hence, it’s a need to develop molecular markers for this crop. Development of SSRs (Simple Sequence Repeats) for new crop like coriander is an expensive and time consuming process. This can be easily achieved by transferring the microsatellile loci from the same family/genus/species which is a cost-effective approach for development of SSRs in lesser studied crops like coriander. Presently in carrot and celery SSRs are available on the public domain for cross-species investigation, both crops belongs to the same family. We examined the transferability of hundred carrot SSR loci to coriander. Thirty nine percent primer (39/100) amplified SSRs for coriander. Out of 39 SSR loci, 35 primers were monomorphic and specific to carrot primers, showing approximately the same size of SSR loci as reported for carrot. Four SSRs were polymorphic, seven primer pairs were non-specific which were deviating for band size from the source of SSRs. Primer GSSR-113 was non-specific, but showing polymorphism for the microsatellite loci. These SSR markers should provide a powerful tool for coriander breeding and genetics.
