Abstract_ Background Limited DNA sequence and DNA marker resources have been developed for Iris Iridaceae a monocot genus of 200-300 species in the Asparagales several of which are horticulturally important. We mined an I. brevicaulis-I. fulva EST database for simple sequence repeats SSRs and developed ortholog-specific EST-SSR markers for genetic mapping and other genotyping applications in Iris. Here we describe the abundance and other characteristics of SSRs identified in the transcript assembly EST database and .
