Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Fagus crenata Blume.

摘要: Microsatellite markers can yield high-resolution genetic profiles for individual identification, and parentage analysis, when evaluating gene dispersal in populations. Fagus crenata is an important dominant species the cool temperate forests Japan, although many studies on have been conducted patterns of via pollen seeds are poorly understood. In order to be better informed about crenata, we developed 16 new microsatellite loci from enriched library genomic DNA. These were highly variable, with 3–40 alleles per locus expected heterozygosity value 0.11–0.98.
