چکیده
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were developed and characterized in the vulnerable plant Hepatica nobilis var. japonica (Ranunculaceae) to investigate its genetic diversity, population structure, and gene flow. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen microsatellite markers were developed. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to 12, and the expected heterozygosity per locus ranged from 0.043 to 0.855. Eleven markers were successfully amplified in the cultivar 'Mego' from Japan. CONCLUSIONS These microsatellite markers can be used to investigate the genetic diversity, population structure, and gene flow of H. nobilis var. japonica.

Characterization of 19 microsatellite loci in the clonal monkshood Aconitum kusnezoffii (Ranunculaceae)1
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from Aconitum kusnezoffii (Ranunculaceae) to estimate male and female reproductive success and evaluate the effects of clonal growth on sexual reproduction. METHODS AND RESULTS A genomic enrichment approach was used to develop microsatellite markers. In three investigated A. kusnezoffii populations, a total of 19 microsa...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Nuphar species (Nymphaeaceae) are representative aquatic plants in irrigation ponds in Japanese agricultural ecosystems. We developed 15 polymorphic microsatellite markers for N. japonica and confirmed their utility for its close relatives N. oguraensis var. akiensis and N. ×saijoensis, which originated from natural hybridization between N. japonica and N. oguraensis. MET...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY We developed 10 novel microsatellite loci for Sagina nodosa, a diploid perennial arctic-alpine herb. To our knowledge, these are the first microsatellite loci for a Sagina species. • METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a low-coverage 454 next-generation sequencing of enriched genomic fragments derived from one individual to generate a massive library of contigs...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Saxifraga egregia (Saxifragaceae)1
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Saxifraga egregia (Saxifragaceae) is a perennial herb that is endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We developed 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci for S. egregia to investigate its population genetics. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-eight pairs of microsatellite primers (including 36 monomorphic loci) were isolated and characterized by magnetic bead enrichment. Twelve of thes...
متن کاملDevelopment of microsatellite markers in a large perennial herb, Veratrum album ssp. oxysepalum.
We developed 11 polymorphic microsatellite [simple sequence repeat (SSR)] loci from genomic DNA of Veratrum album ssp. oxysepalum using a dual-suppression polymerase chain reaction technique and an improved method. These markers, with four to 17 alleles per locus, identified 47 genotypes in 48 samples collected from a population in Hokkaido, Japan. The observed and expected heterozygosities ran...
