Characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in Yucca filamentosa.
Yuccas and their pollinator moths are a textbook example of mutualism, yet we lack sufficiently variable markers to properly study the population genetics of the plants. We characterized 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci for Yucca filamentosa by screening primers derived from an expressed sequence tag database. We found four to 13 alleles per locus and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0...
متن کاملCharacterization of microsatellite loci in Erysimum mediohispanicum (Brassicaceae) and cross-amplification in related species.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY We have developed and optimized microsatellite loci from a genomic library of Erysimum mediohispanicum. Microsatellites were also tested for cross-amplification in 31 other Erysimum species. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 10 microsatellite loci were successfully amplified. They were polymorphic for 81 E. mediohispanicum individuals from two locations in Sierra Nevada (sou...
متن کاملDevelopment of 16 microsatellite markers within the Camassia (Agavaceae) species complex and amplification in related taxa1
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY The North American genus Camassia is an ecologically important group whose variability and evolution are little understood, being influenced by hybridization and geographic isolation. We developed microsatellite markers to investigate patterns of gene flow, population structure, and taxonomic relationships within this group. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using a tra...
متن کاملHost specificity and reproductive success of yucca moths (Tegeticula spp. Lepidoptera: Prodoxidae) mirror patterns of gene flow between host plant varieties of the Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia: Agavaceae).
Coevolution between flowering plants and their pollinators is thought to have generated much of the diversity of life on Earth, but the population processes that may have produced these macroevolutionary patterns remain unclear. Mathematical models of coevolution in obligate pollination mutualisms suggest that phenotype matching between plants and their pollinators can generate reproductive iso...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in wheat stem sawfly Cephus cinctus and cross-species amplification in related species
The wheat stem sawfly is an important insect pest of wheat that can cause significant damage to yield and grain quality. Five microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized in wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus , to facilitate future population genetic studies and help delineate their geographical origin. These loci were found to be polymorphic with an expected heterozygosity ranging from 0...
