Carrot SSR marker transferability across Apiaceae species. Number and percentage of SSR markers that successfully generated PCR products of nearly expected size (i.e., the expected amplicons length for carrot, Additional File 1 - Table S1) in 23 Apiaceae accessions, including 8 accessions of carrot (1 inbred line, 6 commercial cultivars, and 1 wild carrot) (black bars), 8 non-carrot Daucus species (grey bars), and 7 non-Daucus Apiaceae species (white bars). Names of carrot cultivars and inbred lines, and the common names of non-carrot species are in parentheses.
