PERMANENT GENETIC RESOURCES: Characterization of microsatellite markers for the almendro (Dipteryx panamensis), a tetraploid rainforest tree

The almendro (Dipteryx panamensis, Fabaceae) is a tetraploid tree native to the Atlantic lowland rainforests of Central America. We present nine microsatellite primer pairs amplified in three multiplexed reactions for 549 individuals from four sites in Costa Rica. All loci were polymorphic, ranging...

Description
Summary:The almendro (Dipteryx panamensis, Fabaceae) is a tetraploid tree native to the Atlantic lowland rainforests of Central America. We present nine microsatellite primer pairs amplified in three multiplexed reactions for 549 individuals from four sites in Costa Rica. All loci were polymorphic, ranging from three to 13 alleles per locus. Expected heterozygosity was estimated with the program tetrasat, and ranged from 0.21 to 0.74 across loci. These markers will be used for estimating pollen dispersal, seed dispersal, genetic structure and genetic diversity in fragmented landscapes.
