Characterization of 14 novel microsatellite loci in the endangered Liriodendron chinense (Magnoliaceae) and cross-species amplification in closely related taxa

Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from an AC-enriched genomic library of Liriodendron chinense (Magnoliaceae). The average allele number of these microsatellites was 5.2 per locus, ranging from three to eight. The observed and expected heterozygosity at populat...

Description
Summary:Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from an AC-enriched genomic library of Liriodendron chinense (Magnoliaceae). The average allele number of these microsatellites was 5.2 per locus, ranging from three to eight. The observed and expected heterozygosity at population level were 0.07-1.00 and 0.10-0.83, respectively. These sets of microsatellites will be useful for studies of population genetic structure of L. chinense and L. tulipifera as well as to estimate fine-scale gene flow rates.
