Genomic DNA Samples From Reference Accessions list
The DNA comes from a 'mini-core' collection developed in the framework of the Generation Challenge Programme (GCP). The collection currently comprises 52 Musa accessions taken from the Cirad collection located in Guadeloupe (west indies). It was assembled using the GCP criteria regarding the genetic diversity representation, the duplication at the Bioversity International Transit Centre (ITC), the use in breeding programmes and the FAO designation.
For each of the accessions, ten extractions, each of three grams of frozen leaves were made with the Matab method (Risterucci et al., 2000). About 1 miligram of DNA was obtained per accession. The DNA samples are stored and distributed in PCR grade water.
The DNA samples are distributed to Musa research community via the Musa Genome Resource Centre (MGRC) based at IEB, Olomouc, Czech Republic upon request. The MGRC operates at a cost-recovery basis and the recipients are expected to cover packing and shipment costs. In order to have sufficient researchers benefiting from this service, a maximum of 1 μg of DNA per accession is provided and only under this agreement.
Warning: Until we are able to provide the definitive fingerprinting profile, we cannot guarantee the identity of the DNA sample.

Protocol for DNA amplification and detection
SSR patterns of each individual of the study were analysed following the protocol of Roy et al. (1996) applied with the automated infrared fluorescence technology of a sequencer LICOR IR2 (LICOR, Lincoln, USA). For a given SSR locus, the forward SSR primer was designed with a 5'-end M13 extension (5'-CACGACGTTGTAAAACGAC-3').
The PCR amplification was performed in a 384 wells Eppendorf mastercycler with 10 ng of Musa DNA in a 10µl final volume of buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8), 100 mM KCl, 0.05% w/v gelatin, and 2.0 mM MgCl2) containing 0.08 µM of the M13-labelled primer, 0.1 µM of the other primer, 160 µM of dNTP, 1 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Life Technologies, U.S.A.) and 0.06 µM of M13 primer-fluorescent dye IR700 or IR800 (Biolegio, Netherlands).
The PCR programme contain an initial denaturation step at 94°C for 5 min; a touch-down protocol involving initial decrease of annealing temperature by 1 ºC for the first cycles depending on the primer pairs used, and a fixed annealing temperatures for further 35 cycles. In all cases denaturation occurred at 94°C for 45 s, annealing at lowest TM of primer (between 43 et 52°C) for 60 s, and elongation at 72°C for 60 s. A final elongation step at 72°C for 5 min is added to all the protocols.
In each plate of PCR a Musa standard made with a mix of three Musa accessions (Pisang Jari Buaya, Popoulou/Maia Maoli and Tomolo) is added in order to improve allele sizes determination.
For each run a ladder (range 71-367 bp) is added at the hedges of the gel. IR700 or IR800-labeled PCR products were diluted 8-fold and 5-fold respectively, subjected to electrophoresis in a 6.5% polyacrylamide gel and then sized by the IR fluorescence scanning system of the sequencer.
