Oregano ( Origanum vulgare ) and marjoram ( Origanum majorana ) are two sensorial distinct spices within the genus Origanum (Lamiaceae). Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of essential oil glands of O. vulgare . Thirteen EST‐SSR loci were evaluated using 20 individual plants of O. vulgare and 19 plants of Origanum majorana . The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to four. All loci developed from O. vulgare successfully cross‐amplified in O. majorana .
