Characterization of 12 polymorphic microsatellite markers for Georgia false indigo (Amorpha georgiana Wilbur var. georgiana), an endangered species, and their utility in other dwarf Amorpha L. species.

abstract：:Thirty-eight microsatellite loci were developed for the bird pollinated, autohexaploid, Eremophila glabra ssp. glabra. A genomic library was screened with dinucleotide and trinucleotide sequence repeats. Polymorphism ranged from one to 21 alleles per locus. Twenty-four loci exhibited null alleles, based on patterns of...
