| Abstract | Premise of the study: We developed microsatellite makers for Parakmeria nitida to investigate its population structure and conservation genetics. Methods and Results: A total of 25 microsatellite primer pairs were developed using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences COntaining repeats (FIASCO) protocol, and polymorphism was assessed in three natural populations of P. nitida. Among these markers, 11 were monomorphic and 14 showed polymorphism. Conclusions: These markers are potentially useful for future population genetic analyses of P. nitida and will serve as an important tool for conservation efforts. |
