Development of microsatellite markers for the coastal shrub Scaevola taccada (Goodeniaceae).

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite markers were developed for the coastal shrub species Scaevola taccada to estimate the population genetic structure, which may reflect different seed dispersal patterns. • METHODS AND RESULTS:Thirteen microsatellite primer sets were developed for S. taccada using 454 pyrosequencing. The primer sets were tested on 64 individuals sampled from two populations in Japan. Fragments were amplified using the primers, with one to 10 alleles per locus, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.00 to 0.85. • CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate the utility of markers in S. taccada for broad estimations of the population genetic structure of this species.

Microsatellite marker development for the coastal dune shrub Prunus maritima (Rosaceae).

Project description:• Microsatellite primers were developed in the beach plum, Prunus maritima, to investigate the genetic composition of remaining populations in need of conservation and, in future studies, to determine its relation to P. maritima var. gravesii. • Fourteen primer pairs were identified and tested in four populations throughout the species' geographic range. Of these 14 loci, 12 were shown to be polymorphic among a total of 60 P. maritima individuals sampled (15 individuals sampled from four populations). Among the polymorphic loci, the number of alleles ranged from two to 10 and observed heterozygosity of loci ranged from 0.07 to 0.93 among specimens tested. • These microsatellites will be useful in evaluating the population genetic composition of P. maritima and in developing approaches for further conservation and management of this species within the endangered coastal dune ecosystem of the northeastern United States.

Development of microsatellite markers for the clonal shrub Orixa japonica (Rutaceae) using 454 sequencing.

Project description:Microsatellite markers were developed for a dioecious shrub, Orixa japonica (Rutaceae). Because O. japonica vigorously propagates by vegetative growth, microsatellite markers can be used to identify clonal relationships among its ramets. Sixteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified by 454 next-generation sequencing. The number of alleles and expected heterozygosity for each locus among four populations ranged from two to 10 and from 0.140 to 0.875, respectively. Five of the 16 loci showed a low null allele frequency. Because Orixa is a monotypic genus, cross-amplification in a consubfamilial species, Skimmia japonica, was tested, and only one locus showed polymorphism. These microsatellite markers developed for O. japonica contribute to clone identification for studies examining the clonal structure and true sex ratio in the wild. Moreover, five markers that have a low null allele frequency can also be used for estimating mating systems or performing parentage analysis.

Development of microsatellite markers for the wind cave-associated shrub Lonicera alpigena subsp. glehnii (Caprifoliaceae).

Project description:Premise of the Study:Microsatellite markers were developed for the wind cave-associated shrub Lonicera alpigena subsp. glehnii to conduct phylogeographic studies on the species. Methods and Results:Based on the sequence data obtained by 454 sequencing, a total of 81 primer pairs were designed and 18 successfully amplified the microsatellite regions. These markers were highly variable (i.e., average number of alleles per locus = 6.2 [range = 2-15]; average expected heterozygosity per locus = 0.489 [range = 0.149-0.729]). Cross-species amplification of the primers was tested in 10 congeneric taxa (L. caerulea var. emphyllocalyx, L. chamissoi, L. chrysantha, L. gracilipes var. glandulosa, L. japonica, L. kurobushiensis, L. morrowii, L. ramosissima, L. sachalinensis, and L. strophiophora), and six to 11 primers amplified the microsatellite markers. Conclusions:The microsatellite markers developed in this study will be useful for phylogeographic studies and conservation genetics of L. alpigena subsp. glehnii as well as congeneric species.

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in Selliera radicans (Goodeniaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite markers were developed for species in the genus Selliera (Goodeniaceae) for future investigations of population genetic structure and interspecific hybridization within the genus. Using 454 pyrosequencing, 15 new markers were developed from microsatellite loci isolated from S. radicans. Primers for the new markers amplify di- and trinucleotide repeat loci from the three Selliera species screened. Ten of the new markers are polymorphic in S. radicans and six of those 10 loci were found to be polymorphic within each congener. For the focal species, S. radicans, the average number of alleles per locus is 3.7 (SE = 0.60) and the average observed and expected heterozygosities are 0.23 (SE = 0.07) and 0.47 (SE = 0.08), respectively. The new markers provide an important resource for future investigations in the genus Selliera for both population genetics and research into hybridization between species.

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers in the endangered Mediterranean shrub Ziziphus lotus (Rhamnaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite primers were developed to characterize and evaluate patterns of genetic diversity and structure in the endangered Mediterranean shrub Ziziphus lotus (Rhamnaceae). Twenty microsatellite primers were developed for Z. lotus, of which 14 were polymorphic. We evaluated microsatellite polymorphism in 97 specimens from 18 Spanish and seven Moroccan populations. Between two and eight alleles were found per locus, and the average number of alleles was 5.54. Observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.08 to 0.90 and from 0.08 to 0.82, respectively. Nine of these primers also amplified microsatellite loci in Z. jujuba. The microsatellite markers described here will be useful in studies on genetic variation, population genetic structure, and gene flow in the fragmented habitat of this species. These markers are a valuable resource for designing appropriate conservation measures for the species in the Mediterranean range.

Development of microsatellite markers for Isodon longitubus (Lamiaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite markers were developed for Isodon longitubus to study the natural hybridization of the species and its congeners. • A total of 10 primer sets were developed for I. longitubus. From the initial screening, all of 10 loci were polymorphic with five to 19 alleles per locus in the Mt. Ishizuchi population, whereas nine loci were polymorphic with two to 12 alleles per loci in the Toon population. Although one locus was monomorphic at one population, the observed and expected heterozygosity values estimated from 34 I. longitubus samples ranged from 0.273 to 1.000 and from 0.483 to 0.918, respectively. Six primer sets could amplify all three species examined in this study (I. inflexus, I. japonicus, and I. shikokianus). • The 10 microsatellite markers developed here will be useful in analyzing the population genetic structure of I. longitubus and in studying the natural hybridization between Isodon species.
