Premise Of The Study:
The perennial feather moss Hylocomium splendens is one of the most widely distributed and common bryophytes in the Northern Hemisphere and has, because of its capacity to grow under a wide range of environmental conditions, been used as a biomonitor for atmospheric metal deposition in Europe.
Methods And Results:
We present a multiplex approach for the analysis of 14 microsatellite markers tested on 194 H. splendens gametophytes. Ten of the markers are developed recently, and are presented for the first time in this paper, whereas four were previously developed but have not been used for population genetic investigations.
Conclusions:
The microsatellite markers reported here will provide a powerful tool for further research on population genetic structure in H. splendens.
