<h4>Premise of the study</h4>Polymorphic microRNA (miRNA)-based microsatellite markers were developed to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Nelumbo nucifera (Nelumbonaceae).<h4>Methods and results</h4>A total of 485 miRNA-based microsatellites were found from the genomic DNA sequences of N. nucifera. After several rounds of screening, 21 primer pairs flanking di-, tri-, or pentanucleotide repeats were identified that revealed high levels of genetic diversity in four po ...[more]
