Development and characterization of genomic microsatellite markers in Apterosperma oblata (Theaceae) and cross-amplification in Euryodendron excelsum (Ternstroemiaceae)

Development and characterization of genomic microsatellite markers in Apterosperma oblata (Theaceae) and cross-amplification in Euryodendron excelsum (Ternstroemiaceae)

2015

Apterosperma oblata is a vulnerable species endemic to south China with highly narrow distribution. We have developed 12 polymorphic microsatellite markers using FIASCO protocol. These loci produced alleles ranging from two to seven, and expected heterozygosity from 0.105 to 0.773. Among them, seven loci were successfully cross-amplified in Euryodendron excelsum, of which three loci exhibited polymorphism. These markers will promote further investigation of adaptive evolution in A. oblata and E. excelsum, and be useful for establishing conservation strategies.
