Large-scale development of expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers was performed in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to obtain more informative genetic markers. A total of 10,102 potential non-redundant EST sequences, including 3,445 contigs and 6,657 singletons, were generated from cDNA libraries of the gynophore, roots, leaves and seedlings. A total of 3,187 primer pairs were designed on flanking regions of SSRs, some of which allowed one and two base mismatches. Among the 3,187 markers generated, 2,540 (80%) were trinucleotide repeats, 302 (9%) were dinucleotide repeats, and 345 (11%) were tetranucleotide repeats. Pre-polymorphic analyses of 24 Arachis accessions were performed using 10% polyacrylamide gels. A total of 1,571 EST-SSR markers showing clear polymorphisms were selected for further polymorphic analysis with a Fluoro-fragment Analyzer. The 16 Arachis accessions examined included cultivated peanut varieties as well as diploid species with the A or B genome. Altogether 1,281 (81.5%) of the 1,571 markers were polymorphic among the 16 accessions, and 366 (23.3%) were polymorphic among the 12 cultivated varieties. Diversity analysis was performed and the genotypes of all 16 Arachis accessions showed similarity coefficients ranging from 0.37 to 0.97.
