Polymorphic microsatellite loci for Haumania danckelmaniana and transferability to H. liebrechtsiana (Marantaceae).

ABSTRACT: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite markers were developed for the species Haumania danckelmaniana (Marantaceae) from central tropical Africa. METHODS AND RESULTS:Microsatellite isolation was performed simultaneously on three different species of Marantaceae through a procedure that combines multiplex microsatellite enrichment and next-generation sequencing. From 80 primers selected for initial screening, 20 markers positively amplified in H. danckelmaniana, of which 10 presented unambiguous amplification products within the expected size range and eight were polymorphic with four to nine alleles per locus. Positive transferability with the related species H. liebrechtsiana was observed for the same 10 markers. CONCLUSIONS:The polymorphic microsatellite markers are suitable for studies in genetic diversity and structure, mating system, and gene flow in H. danckelmaniana and the closely related species H. liebrechtsiana.

Isolation and Characterization of Polymorphic Microsatellite Loci for Caridina cantonensis and Transferability Across Eight Confamilial Species (Atyidae, Decapoda).

Project description:Lai Him Chow, Ka Yan Ma, Jerome H. L. Hui, and Ka Hou Chu (2018) Caridina cantonensis is a common freshwater shrimp found in Guangdong Province, China. The species is landlocked, and this life history contributes substantially to its strong population differentiation at the very small geographical scale. Given its widespread distribution, it serves as an excellent model for examining population connectivity and phylogeographical history of freshwater invertebrates in South China. This study isolated ten microsatellite loci from genome sequences of C. cantonensis and four from the transcriptome assemblies of Neocaridina davidi. The microsatellites were then characterized in 24 C. cantonensis individuals from one population. The number of alleles ranged from seven to 18. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.050 to 0.958 (averaged 0.649) and 0.754 to 0.919 (averaged 0.833), respectively. We also assessed the cross-species transferability of the markers developed across eight confamilial species. On average, nine markers can be amplified in each species, and five markers can be amplified across all eight species. The markers developed in this study would enable evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure of these species for conservation management planning.

Development of 14 polymorphic microsatellite loci for Ficus tikoua (Moraceae).

Project description:Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed to facilitate studies on the fine-scale population genetic structure of Ficus tikoua (Moraceae), a prostrate shrub known to have highly restricted gene flow. Microsatellite primers were developed using the biotin-streptavidin capture method and scanned for polymorphism within 76 individuals sampled from three natural F. tikoua populations. Fourteen loci were shown to be polymorphic, with allele numbers ranging from three to 16. The observed and expected heterozygosity in the three populations ranged from 0 to 1 and from 0 to 0.87, respectively. Substantial divergence was found among the populations at some loci. All loci can be successfully amplified in at least eight other Ficus species, indicating good transferability within the genus. The 14 microsatellite loci will be a helpful tool for assessing the fine-scale genetic structure of F. tikoua.

Microsatellite loci in the Gypsophyte Lepidium subulatum (Brassicaceae), and transferability to other Lepidieae.

Project description:Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the Ibero-North African, strict gypsophyte Lepidium subulatum to unravel the effects of habitat fragmentation in levels of genetic diversity, genetic structure and gene flow among its populations. Using 454 pyrosequencing 12 microsatellite loci including di- and tri-nucleotide repeats were characterized in L. subulatum. They amplified a total of 80 alleles (2-12 alleles per locus) in a sample of 35 individuals of L. subulatum, showing relatively high levels of genetic diversity, H(O) = 0.645, H(E) = 0.627. Cross-species transferability of all 12 loci was successful for the Iberian endemics Lepidium cardamines, Lepidium stylatum, and the widespread, Lepidium graminifolium and one species each of two related genera, Cardaria draba and Coronopus didymus. These microsatellite primers will be useful to investigate genetic diversity, population structure and to address conservation genetics in species of Lepidium.

Development and Characterization of Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers for Sedum sarmentosum (Crassulaceae) and Their Cross-Species Transferability.

Project description:Sedum sarmentosum is an important Chinese medicinal herb that exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and anti-nociceptive properties. However, little is known about its genetic background. The first set of 14 microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized for S. sarmentosum using an SSR-enriched library. Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were acquired with satisfactory amplifications and a polymorphic pattern in 48 S. sarmentosum individuals. The number of alleles ranged from 3 to 15. The observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.0833 to 0.8750 and 0.2168 to 0.9063, respectively. Two loci showed significant departure from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Cross-species amplification was carried out in other Sedum species. High rates of cross-species amplification were observed. The transferability value ranged from 85.7% in S. lineare to 64.3% in S. ellacombianum. These markers will be valuable for studying the genetic variation, population structure and germplasm characterization of S. sarmentosum and related Sedum species.

Characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba is a pelagic crustacean, abundant in high-density swarms (10,000 - 30,000 ind/m2) with a circumpolar distribution and a key role in the food web of the Southern Ocean. Only three EST derived microsatellite markers have been used in previous genetic studies, hence we developed additional highly polymorphic microsatellite markers to allow robust studies of the genetic variability and population differentiation within this species. FINDINGS: The microsatellite markers described here were obtained through an enriched genomic library, followed by 454 pyrosequencing. A total of 10 microsatellite markers were tested in 32 individuals from the Antarctic Peninsula. One of the tested loci was fixed for one allele while the other was variable. Of the remaining nine markers, seven showed no departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The mean number of alleles was 14.9. CONCLUSIONS: These markers open perspectives for population genetic studies of this species to unravel genetic structure, dispersal and population biology, vital information for future conservation.

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in Spondias radlkoferi (Anacardiaceae).

Project description:UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite markers were developed for Spondias radlkoferi to assess the impact of primate seed dispersal on the genetic diversity and structure of this important tree species of Anacardiaceae. • METHODS AND RESULTS:Fourteen polymorphic loci were isolated from S. radlkoferi through 454 GS-FLX Titanium pyrosequencing of genomic DNA. The number of alleles ranged from three to 12. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.382 to 1.00 and from 0.353 to 0.733, respectively. The amplification was also successful in S. mombin and two genera of Anacardiaceae: Rhus aromatica and Toxicodendron radicans. • CONCLUSIONS:These microsatellite loci will be useful to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of S. radlkoferi and related species, and will allow us to investigate the effects of seed dispersal by spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) on the genetic structure and diversity of S. radlkoferi populations in a fragmented rainforest.

Development and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Saxifraga egregia (Saxifragaceae).

Project description:Saxifraga egregia (Saxifragaceae) is a perennial herb that is endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We developed 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci for S. egregia to investigate its population genetics. Forty-eight pairs of microsatellite primers (including 36 monomorphic loci) were isolated and characterized by magnetic bead enrichment. Twelve of these markers showed polymorphism, and the number of alleles per locus ranged from four to 14 across 50 individuals from three populations of S. egregia. No linkage disequilibrium was detected in any pair of loci. These polymorphic markers are expected to be helpful in further studies on the systematics and phylogeography of S. egregia in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

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.

Characterization of microsatellite loci in Castilleja sessiliflora and transferability to 24 Castilleja species (Orobanchaceae).

Project description:UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite primers were developed in the hemiparasitic perennial forb Castilleja sessiliflora to investigate patterns of gene flow and genetic diversity within and among populations. • METHODS AND RESULTS:Twelve polymorphic loci were identified in C. sessiliflora and tested on three populations (32 individuals each) sampled across the range of the species. The loci amplified di- and trinucleotide repeats with 3-14 alleles per locus. To assess cross-amplification, primer pairs were also tested on 24 additional Castilleja species that represent the morphological and geographic diversity of the genus. We provide reports of their effectiveness in all 25 taxa. • CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate the utility of these primers in C. sessiliflora for future studies of genetic structure and gene flow, as well as their widespread applicability in other members of the diverse and complex genus Castilleja.
