Isolation of nuclear microsatellite markers for Cyperus fuscus (Cyperaceae)1

Isolation of 91 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the western Mediterranean endemic Carex helodes (Cyperaceae)1

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed for Carex helodes (Cyperaceae), a western Mediterranean endemic that is locally distributed in southern Portugal and southwestern Spain and rare in northern Morocco. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred nine nuclear microsatellite markers were developed using a shotgun pyrosequencing method, resulting in 91 polymorphic and 18 monomorphic l...

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Fimbristylis sericea (Cyperaceae)1

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY We developed microsatellite markers for Fimbristylis sericea, a coastal herb found in sand dunes in Asia and Australia. • METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve microsatellite loci were isolated, and the genetic variability within and among local populations was characterized. The number of alleles per locus was two to five with a mean of 3.5, total expected heterozygos...

Isolation and characterization of 13 new microsatellite markers in the triangle mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii)

Microsatellite enriched library of Hyriopsis cumingii was constructed according to the strong affinity between biotin and streptavidin. One hundred clones with foreign inserts were sequenced and 65 clones were screened for usable microsatellites, of which 36 were deemed unique, of sufficient length (more than 8 repeats) and possessed adequate flanking regions for primer designment. Among 36 pri...
