Premise Of The Study:
Microsatellite markers were developed for Primula sinolisteri, a perennial distylous herb belonging to section Obconicolisteri (Primulaceae), to facilitate future investigations of the population genetics and mating patterns of populations in this species.
Methods And Results:
We developed 30 microsatellite markers for P. sinolisteri using HiSeq X-Ten sequencing and measured polymorphism and genetic diversity in a sample of 36 individuals from three natural populations. The markers displayed relatively high polymorphism, with the number of observed alleles per locus ranging from one to 19 (mean = 4.42). The observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0-1.000 and 0.083-0.882, respectively. Twenty-nine of the loci were also successfully amplified in homostylous P. sinolisteri var. aspera.
Conclusions:
The microsatellite markers we have identified in P. sinolisteri provide powerful tools for investigating patterns of population genetic diversity and the evolutionary relationships between heterostyly and homostyly in this species.
