In silico determination of potential cross-transferability of the SSRs between Phytophthora species

	Primer transferability a
	100%	95–99 %	90–94 %
P. infestans – P. sojae	7	21	91
P. infestans – P. ramorum	6	8	50
P. sojae – P. ramorum	27	126	282
P. infestans – P. sojae – P. ramorum	4	19	61

^a When an EST or transcript sequence matched primer pairs designed from species 1 and species 2, they were counted as one primer pair.
