Development and multiplexing of microsatellite markers in the polyploid perennial herb, Menyanthes trifoliata (Menyanthaceae)
2010
Premise of the study: We developed microsatellite primers to investigate genetic diversity and population genetic structure of the endangered herb Menyanthes trifoliata. Methods and Results: Using the microsatellite-enriched library method, we identified 10 primer pairs in M. trifoliata. The primers amplified nine di- and one tri-nucleotide repeats with 4-13 alleles per locus in two Belgian populations. Conclusions: The results indicate that these markers offer an appropriate amount of variation to investigate genetic diversity, pollen dispersal (through paternity inference), and other conservation issues.
