Development of Microsatellite Markers for a Dioecious Herpetospermum pedunculosum (Cucurbitaceae).

ABSTRACT: Understanding the evolution of flower diversity is a central topic in plant evolutionary ecology, and natural selection on floral traits via male fitness could be estimated quantitatively using microsatellites. Here, based on RNA sequencing, we developed simple sequence repeat primers and verified polymorphisms in 2 wild populations of Herpetospermum pedunculosum (Cucurbitaceae), a dioecious annual plants native to the Himalaya Mountains. A total of 131 paired primers were designed; 15 paired primers were found to be polymorphic, with the expected heterozygosity varying between 0.280 and 0.767. We also identified 58 genotypes in 20 plants from the 2 populations. Conclusively, these primers could be effective in examining male fitness and population genetic structure of H pedunculosum in future studies.

Development of microsatellite markers for Isodon longitubus (Lamiaceae).

Project description:UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite markers were developed for Isodon longitubus to study the natural hybridization of the species and its congeners. • METHODS AND RESULTS:A total of 10 primer sets were developed for I. longitubus. From the initial screening, all of 10 loci were polymorphic with five to 19 alleles per locus in the Mt. Ishizuchi population, whereas nine loci were polymorphic with two to 12 alleles per loci in the Toon population. Although one locus was monomorphic at one population, the observed and expected heterozygosity values estimated from 34 I. longitubus samples ranged from 0.273 to 1.000 and from 0.483 to 0.918, respectively. Six primer sets could amplify all three species examined in this study (I. inflexus, I. japonicus, and I. shikokianus). • CONCLUSIONS:The 10 microsatellite markers developed here will be useful in analyzing the population genetic structure of I. longitubus and in studying the natural hybridization between Isodon species.

Development of microsatellite markers for Crepis mollis (Asteraceae).

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the threatened species Crepis mollis (Asteraceae) to investigate population and conservation genetics. METHODS AND RESULTS:Illumina sequencing was conducted on pooled genomic DNA from 10 individuals of two populations. Ten polymorphic and 10 monomorphic microsatellite loci with di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanucleotide repeat motifs were developed and characterized in C. mollis. In the polymorphic markers, up to 17 alleles per locus were detected with an observed and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.120 to 0.780 and 0.102 to 0.834, respectively. Furthermore, the polymorphic markers were tested for cross-amplification in three congeneric species (C. biennis, C. foetida, and C. sancta) and amplified in up to three loci. CONCLUSIONS:The markers developed in this study are the first microsatellites tested on C. mollis and will be useful for performing population and conservation genetic studies in this threatened species.

Development of 18 microsatellite markers for Salvia pratensis.

Project description:Premise:Microsatellite markers were developed for the perennial herb Salvia pratensis (Lamiaceae), a species representative of European dry grasslands. The development of microsatellite markers is needed for genetic and phylogeographical studies of species from the genus Salvia. Methods and Results:We used low-coverage Illumina sequencing to identify microsatellite loci. Based on these data, we have developed 18 polymorphic microsatellite markers with the number of alleles per locus ranging from two to 15. The levels of observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.05 to 0.95 and from 0.05 to 0.89, respectively. The majority of the markers successfully cross-amplified in other Salvia species. Conclusions:The markers were shown to be suitable for population genetic and phylogeographic studies in S. pratensis as well as in related species (S. aethiopis, S. austriaca, S. glutinosa, S. nemorosa, S. nutans, and S. verticillata) and will be used in the broader context to trace the origins of European dry grasslands.

Development of microsatellite markers for Carallia brachiata (Rhizophoraceae).

Project description:Microsatellite markers were developed for Carallia brachiata to assess the genetic diversity and structure of this terrestrial species of the Rhizophoraceae. Based on transcriptome data for C. brachiata, 40 primer pairs were initially designed and tested, of which 18 were successfully amplified and 11 were polymorphic. For these microsatellites, one to three alleles per locus were identified. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0 to 0.727 and 0 to 0.520, respectively. In addition, all primers were successfully amplified in two congeners: C. pectinifolia and C. garciniifolia. The microsatellite markers described here will be useful in population genetic studies of C. brachiata and related species, suggesting that developing microsatellite markers from next-generation sequencing data can be efficient for genetic studies across this genus.

Development of chloroplast microsatellite markers for Glyptostrobus pensilis (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Premise:Glyptostrobus pensilis (Cupressaceae) is a critically endangered conifer native to China, Laos, and Vietnam, with only a few populations remaining in the wild. Methods and Results:Using a complete chloroplast genome sequence, we designed 70 cpSSR loci and tested them for amplification success and polymorphism in 16 samples. Ten loci were found to be polymorphic and their genetic diversity was characterized using a total of 83 individuals from three populations in China. A total of 43 haplotypes were present, the effective number of haplotypes varied from 4.55 to 13.36, and the haplotypic richness ranged from 8.04 to 16.00. Gene diversity ranged from 0.81 to 0.97 (average 0.89). The number of alleles per locus and population ranged from one to eight, and the effective number of alleles ranged from 1.00 to 3.90. All polymorphic loci were successfully amplified in the related species Cryptomeria japonica var. sinensis, Taxodium distichum, T. ascendens, and Cunninghamia lanceolata. Conclusions:These newly developed chloroplast microsatellites will be useful for population genetic and phylogeographic analyses of G. pensilis and related species.
