Bambara groundnut is an indigenous African legume crop plant. It is largely grown by subsistence farmers, but can also be used as a cash crop to supplement family income. The fact that it is highly drought tolerant means that it has considerably potential to provide part of food security in regions of the world where water availability is a serious issue. As one part of the international effort to understand and improve this species, we report here the first 10 microsatellite markers derived from bambara groundnut.
