This study aimed to develop KASP-based SNP (Kompetitive Allele-Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers for routine breeding activities in yam (Dioscorea spp.). An ultra-low-density SNP marker set was created using 173,675 SNPs obtained from whole-genome resequencing of 333 diverse white Guinea yam genotypes. Of the 99 putative SNP markers found and converted to high-throughput KASP genotyping assays, 50 were highly polymorphic across six yam species and could distinguish different yam species and pedigree origins. The SNP markers also identified potential duplicates within yam species, predicted the male parent of progenies in polycrosses, and provided species identification, parental fingerprinting, and quality control in yam breeding programs.
