Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) is one of the worst agricultural weeds in China. Molecular markers were developed for genetic diversity and population structure analyses. In this study, we identified 8391 expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers from the de novo assembled unigenes of E. indica. Mononucleotides were the most abundant type of repeats (3591, 42.79%), followed by trinucleotides (3162, 37.68%). The most dominant mononucleotide and trinucleotide repeat motifs were A/T (3406, 40.59%) and AAT/ATT (103, 1.5%), respectively. Fourteen pairs of EST-SSR primers were verified and used to analyze the genetic diversity and population structure of 59 goosegrass populations. A total of 49 alleles were amplified, with the number of alleles (Na) ranging from two to eleven per locus, and the effective number of alleles (Ne) ranged from 1.07 to 4.53. The average polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.36. Genetic structure analysis (K = 2) and principal coordinate analysis divided 59 E. indica populations into two groups in a manner similar to the unweighted pair-group method (Dice genetic similarity coefficient = 0.700). This study developed a set of EST-SSR markers in E. indica and successfully analyzed the diversity and population genetic structures of 59 E. indica populations in China.
