Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from Silene tatarica
Abstract Five new microsatellite loci were isolated from the perennial plant, Silene tatarica . We characterized S. tatarica individuals originating from two riverbank populations in northern Finland and observed between four and nine alleles per locus. Observed heterozygosity was consistently lower...

| Summary: | Abstract Five new microsatellite loci were isolated from the perennial plant, Silene tatarica . We characterized S. tatarica individuals originating from two riverbank populations in northern Finland and observed between four and nine alleles per locus. Observed heterozygosity was consistently lower than gene diversity ( H O : 0.0450–0.2385, H E : 0.1919–0.6187). This deficiency of heterozygous genotypes was observed in most locus/population combinations, and is presumably caused by spatial genetic structuring due to restricted seed flow within subpopulations. The markers presented here are the first microsatellites reported for S. tatarica . |
