Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for the endemic Thalictrum smithii (Ranunculaceae).

ABSTRACT: Premise of the Study:Microsatellite primers were developed for the gynodioecious Chinese endemic Thalictrum smithii (Ranunculaceae). Methods and Results:Thirty-nine microsatellite primers were developed using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences COntaining repeats (FIASCO) method. Thirteen microsatellite loci were found to be highly polymorphic after screening 114 specimens (60 hermaphrodite and 54 female) from three T. smithii populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 13, and the levels of observed and expected heterozygosity per locus ranged from 0.000 to 1.000 and from 0.204 to 0.834, respectively. Twenty-six of these primers were polymorphic in T. petaloideum and T. finetii. Conclusions:These markers will be useful for examining genetic diversity, polyploidy, and mating system in populations of T. smithii and for guiding study on the evolution of speciation in Thalictrum.

Characterization of 19 microsatellite loci in the clonal monkshood Aconitum kusnezoffii (Ranunculaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from Aconitum kusnezoffii (Ranunculaceae) to estimate male and female reproductive success and evaluate the effects of clonal growth on sexual reproduction. A genomic enrichment approach was used to develop microsatellite markers. In three investigated A. kusnezoffii populations, a total of 19 microsatellite loci were successfully amplified, and 13 of these loci were polymorphic. Most of the primer pairs designed for the identified loci also amplified corresponding microsatellite loci in A. barbatum var. puberulum and A. alboviolaceum. The identified microsatellite loci will be useful for quantifying male and female fitness in A. kusnezoffii and evaluating the effects of clonal growth on sexual reproduction.

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for the Moroccan endemic endangered species Argania spinosa (Sapotaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite loci were developed for the Moroccan endemic endangered species Argania spinosa with a combination of a typical library enrichment procedure and a 454 GS FLX Titanium-based high-throughput sequencing approach. • A genomic DNA library was enriched and further screened using (GA)15, (GTA)8, and (TTC)8 biotin-labeled probes coupled with chemi-luminescence detection. To increase simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci number, an ultra-high-throughput sequencing-based approach was used. Evaluation of all primer pairs was performed with labeled dUTP on an ABI 3130xl sequencer. Eleven polymorphic SSR loci were selected out of 79 SSR regions and extensively characterized on 150 individuals from eight populations. Total alleles ranged from six to 19 alleles per locus while expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.618 to 0.869. • The SSRs developed here will be used to further characterize the genetic diversity of A. spinosa across its distribution range, mainly in the southern part of Morocco and southwestern Algeria. They may also be transferable to other Sapotaceae species.

Isolation and characterization of 28 microsatellite loci for a Korean endemic, Lespedeza maritima (Fabaceae).

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:We developed microsatellite primers for Lespedeza maritima (Fabaceae), a Korean endemic shrub, and conducted cross-amplifications for closely related species. METHODS AND RESULTS:We produced 28 polymorphic microsatellite markers through reference mapping of 300-bp paired-end reads obtained from Illumina MiSeq data. For 47 individual plants from two populations, the total alleles numbered two to 13, and observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.067 to 0.867 and from 0.064 to 0.848, respectively. Most of these markers were well amplified in closely related species. CONCLUSIONS:In future research, the microsatellite markers described here will help reveal the taxonomic entity of this species.

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for Ficus hirta (Moraceae).

Project description:Microsatellite primers were developed to investigate population genetic structure in Ficus hirta (Moraceae). Sixteen microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for F. hirta using Illumina paired-end sequencing of pre-receptive and receptive developmental-phase female flowers. Out of 16 primers, nine were found to be polymorphic in four populations of F. hirta. Alleles per locus ranged from two to 15 across the 94 F. hirta individuals, while within-population observed and expected heterozygosity per locus ranged from 0.000 to 0.955 and from 0.000 to 0.882, respectively. In addition, the 16 primers were tested in 29 additional Ficus species, with all found to amplify in at least 11 of these species and with most amplifying in a majority of the species. This set of microsatellite primers is the first specifically developed for F. hirta and will facilitate studies of genetic diversity within and genetic differentiation among populations of Ficus species.

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for Lindera glauca (Lauraceae).

Project description:Microsatellite primers were developed to investigate population genetic structure in Lindera glauca (Lauraceae). Twenty-five microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for L. glauca using Illumina's Solexa sequencing technology. These novel primers were found to be polymorphic in nine wild L. glauca populations with 81 total alleles confirmed and genotyped via capillary gel electrophoresis. The total number of alleles, observed heterozygosity, and expected heterozygosity for each population ranged from one to four, from 0.00 to 0.90, and from 0.00 to 0.79, respectively. In addition, the 25 primers were tested in 10 additional individuals of the related species L. communis, and all but four markers showed good amplification results. This set of microsatellite primers is the first specifically developed for L. glauca and will facilitate studies of genetic diversity and evolution among populations of this species.

Characterization of the complete plastome of <i>Thalictrum aquilegiifolium</i> var. <i>sibiricum</i> (Ranunculaceae), an annual herb.

Project description:Thalictrum aquilegiifolium var. sibiricum, is an annual herb that grows on slopes or in mountain gullies in areas of damp forest. In this study, we report for the first time the complete plastome sequence of T. aquilegiifolium var. sibiricum. The plastome sequence is 156,244 bp in length and comprises a large single-copy region (85,447 bp), a small single-copy region (17,599 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,480 bp). The genome encodes 112 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and four rRNAs, and has total GC content of 38.4%. Phylogenomic analysis based on the plastome sequences of 20 species in the family Ranunculaceae indicated that T. aquilegiifolium var. sibiricum is clustered with Thalictrum minus.

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci in the Centricnemus leucogrammus weevil.

Project description:Centricnemus leucogrammus is a weevil characteristic of European xerothermic habitats and steppes. The species was probably more widespread during the Pleistocene glaciations, while its current distribution is limited to "warm-stage refugia." It may be regarded as a typical representative of flightless xerothermophilous beetles. Previous studies concentrated on its genetic variation using mitochondrial genes. Here, we identified, tested and characterized 24 polymorphic microsatellite loci with the use of 454 sequencing of microsatellite enriched genomic libraries. The new set of loci will be used in studies on the population structure of this weevil and may provide valuable information for its conservation.
