<h4>Premise of the study</h4>Penstemon scariosus var. albifluvis (Plantaginaceae) has been proposed to be federally listed as threatened due to its unique, geologically oil-rich habitat. Developing simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to study its genetic diversity would be most useful.<h4>Methods and results</h4>Using genomic reduction in combination with next-generation sequencing, we identified SSR motifs with five to 15 perfect repeats in 1067 P. scariosus contigs. After multiple qualifying ...[more]
