  • Title: Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Polygonum cespitosum (Polygonaceae).
    Author: Matesanz S, Sultan SE, Jones KL, Hagen C, Lance SL.
    Journal: Am J Bot; 2011 Jul; 98(7):e180-2. PubMed ID: 21700804.
    Abstract:
    PREMISE OF THE STUDY: We isolated and characterized microsatellite markers in Polygonum cespitosum Blume, an herbaceous annual plant species introduced into North America from Asia that has recently become invasive. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 12 polymorphic and 3 monomorphic loci were screened in 1-2 individuals from each of 20 populations from the introduced and native range, for a total of 24 samples. The number of alleles per locus in the polymorphic loci ranged from 3 to 9, and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.156 to 0.838. CONCLUSIONS: These new loci will provide tools for examining genetic relatedness among introduced and native populations of this and other related species.
