Microsatellite profiles of “Romanesco”, “Violetto di Romagna”, and “Strunjanska articoka” across 12 loci. Colours in the cells indicate the presence of allele. Sizes of alleles are expressed in base pair (bp) (A). Allelic diversity revealed by the set of 12 microsatellite markers is graphically presented. The number (Nu) and the proportion of variety/landrace-specific (unique) alleles (Nu) for “Violetto di Romagna” (Nu = 11; 25%), “Romanesco” (Nu = 5; 11%) and “Strunjanska articoka” (Nu = 15; 34%), and the number of shared alleles (Ns) among analysed varieties/landrace is shown (B).
