Development and characterization of 11 microsatellite primers for the sedge Trichophorum planifolium (Cyperaceae).

ABSTRACT: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite loci were developed for Trichophorum planifolium (Cyperaceae), an endangered woodland sedge protected under federal and provincial legislation in Canada, to explore patterns of population genetic diversity and differentiation in the species. METHODS AND RESULTS:Sixty-three primer pairs were evaluated for amplification consistency and screened for polymorphisms in 96 samples collected from 12 populations of T. planifolium distributed through the range of the species. Of these, 11 loci were shown to be polymorphic, displaying two to six alleles. Mean observed heterozygosity across loci ranged from 0.00 to 0.06 among populations tested. CONCLUSIONS:The results suggest that the 11 primer pairs developed in this study will be useful for future studies of broad-scale genetic variation in T. planifolium and in guiding management protocols for the species in Canada.

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers for Zanthoxylum schinifolium (Rutaceae).

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Polymorphic microsatellite markers of Zanthoxylum schinifolium (Rutaceae), a promising medicinal plant with effective antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory compounds, were developed and evaluated for further genetic studies based on genetic variation among individuals or populations. METHODS AND RESULTS:Following the selective hybridization method, microsatellite-enrichment libraries were constructed. Using these libraries, we obtained 15 polymorphic and three monomorphic microsatellite markers for Z. schinifolium. The number of alleles observed in each of the 15 polymorphic loci ranged from two to eight, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.070 to 0.677 and from 0.093 to 0.688, respectively. Eleven of these developed markers were successfully amplified for Z. piperitum, a related species. CONCLUSIONS:These microsatellite markers can be valuable tools for further genetic studies of Z. schinifolium, such as genetic resource conservation for maintaining breeding material and individual identification for breeding program improvement and variety management.

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers for Chamaecyparis obtusa (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Although several microsatellite markers of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Cupressaceae) have been reported in previous studies, we newly developed and evaluated polymorphic microsatellite markers of C. obtusa, an economically important species in Korea as a major forestation tree species, for further genetic studies. Microsatellite-enrichment libraries were constructed according to the selective hybridization method. From this output, we obtained 10 polymorphic and five monomorphic microsatellite markers for C. obtusa. Five of these developed markers were successfully amplified for C. pisifera, a related species. These microsatellite markers can be valuable tools for further genetic studies of C. obtusa, and gathered genetic information may be useful for breeding program management.

Development and characterization of 25 microsatellite primers for Ilex chinensis (Aquifoliaceae).

Project description:To evaluate genetic variation and structure of Ilex chinensis (Aquifoliaceae), a dioecious evergreen tree, we developed 25 microsatellite markers from its nuclear genome. Based on the biotin-streptavidin capture method, 10 polymorphic and 15 monomorphic microsatellite markers were developed. Ten polymorphic loci were characterized by 87 individuals sampled from three populations located in Zhejiang Province and Shanghai, China. The number of alleles per locus varied from two to 12. The observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.0435-0.9032 and 0.3121-0.8343, respectively. These microsatellite markers can be useful for further genetic studies of I. chinensis populations, and so contribute to forest restoration and management.

Development, characterization, and cross-amplification of 16 microsatellite primers for Atriplex tatarica (Amaranthaceae).

Project description:Premise of the study:Microsatellite primers were developed to characterize the genetic diversity and structure of the annual herb Atriplex tatarica (Amaranthaceae) and to facilitate ecological and evolutionary studies of A. tatarica and its relatives. Methods and Results:Sixteen novel microsatellite primers were developed for A. tatarica based on high-throughput sequencing of enriched libraries. All markers were polymorphic, with the number of alleles per locus ranging from three to 25 and observed and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.08 to 0.74 and 0.10 to 0.87, respectively. In addition, some of these loci were successfully amplified and showed polymorphisms in four Atriplex and seven Chenopodium species. Conclusions:The microsatellite markers published here will be useful in assessing genetic diversity, structure, and gene flow within and across populations of A. tatarica, as well as in other species of Atriplex and the related genus Chenopodium.

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers in Geranium carolinianum (Geraniaceae) with 454 sequencing.

Project description:Microsatellite primers were developed for Geranium carolinanum, a North American winter annual herb, for use in population genetic analyses. • Genomic DNA enriched for repeat-containing fragments was sequenced on the Roche 454 Titanium platform, resulting in 470 primer pairs developed from 1115 microsatellite-containing sequences. A subset of 37 primer pairs was screened for polymorphism across three native and three invasive populations. We identified four monomorphic and eight polymorphic loci. Polymorphic loci contained between two and seven alleles per locus, and mean within-population expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.100 to 0.290. Within populations, observed heterozygosity for individual loci ranged from zero to 0.857, and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.046 to 0.559. • These microsatellite markers will be useful for future studies of genetic diversity, structure, and mating systems across the geographic range of G. carolinianum, and may be transferable to other closely related species.

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers in the federally endangered Astragalus bibullatus (Fabaceae).

Project description:Microsatellites were developed for Astragalus bibullatus (Fabaceae), a federally endangered narrow endemic, to investigate reproductive ecology and species boundaries among closely related taxa. Next-generation sequencing was used to develop 12 nuclear microsatellite loci that amplify in A. bibullatus, as well as in A. crassicarpus var. trichocalyx, A. gypsodes, and A. tennesseensis. Identified loci were di- and trinucleotide repeats, with 1-15 alleles per locus. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.000-0.938 and 0.000-0.860, respectively. Cross-amplification of three loci previously published in A. michauxii was also confirmed for the taxa included here. These data indicate the utility of novel microsatellite loci for conservation genetics and reproductive ecology in closely related Astragalus species.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Fimbristylis sericea (Cyperaceae)(1.).

Project description:We developed microsatellite markers for Fimbristylis sericea, a coastal herb found in sand dunes in Asia and Australia. • Twelve microsatellite loci were isolated, and the genetic variability within and among local populations was characterized. The number of alleles per locus was two to five with a mean of 3.5, total expected heterozygosity per locus was 0.069-0.645 with a mean of 0.336, and average expected heterozygosity within a population per locus was 0.051-0.230. Most of the loci deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. • All 12 microsatellite loci were polymorphic within and among populations. These loci could be useful genetic markers for population genetic studies of F. sericea populations.

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers for Triops granarius (Branchiopoda: Notostraca) using MiSeq technology.

Project description:BackgroundNext-generation sequencing technology has allowed for the rapid development of microsatellites, neutral polymorphic markers that can be used for the analysis of population structure.Methods and resultsIn this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq system and de novo assembly to design microsatellite primers for Triops granarius populations in Qatar. The developed microsatellites are suitable for future studies of genetic structuring among geographically isolated freshwater pools. A total of 23 different primer pairs produced typical microsatellite results, with each pair successfully amplified in up to 40 individuals. Only five of the loci produced a significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.ConclusionsSome of the underlying mechanisms regarding the few loci that deviated from HWE may be further investigated to determine the source of deviation. As T. granarius is the most widely distributed species of the family, the development of these molecular markers would be useful for conducting population genetics and biogeographical studies broadly.

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 and characterization of 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers in Tapiscia sinensis (Staphyleaceae).

Project description:We developed and characterized five polymorphic microsatellite loci from an AC-enriched genomic library of a rare tree, Tapiscia sinensis, and six compound microsatellite primers using a dual-suppression-PCR-based approach, to investigate geographical genetic structure. • The polymorphism of these loci was assessed in 102 samples collected from three populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to nine. Expected heterozygosity per locus ranged from 0.000 to 0.709 and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.750. Five loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction. • This set of microsatellites may be useful for investigating broad-scale genetic variation in the extant populations of the endangered tree species T. sinensis.
