Premise Of The Study:
We developed microsatellite markers for Fimbristylis sericea, a coastal herb found in sand dunes in Asia and Australia. •
Methods And Results:
Twelve microsatellite loci were isolated, and the genetic variability within and among local populations was characterized. The number of alleles per locus was two to five with a mean of 3.5, total expected heterozygosity per locus was 0.069-0.645 with a mean of 0.336, and average expected heterozygosity within a population per locus was 0.051-0.230. Most of the loci deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. •
Conclusions:
All 12 microsatellite loci were polymorphic within and among populations. These loci could be useful genetic markers for population genetic studies of F. sericea populations.
