Characterization of microsatellite markers for the duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza and Lemna minor tested on samples from Europe and the United States of America.

Genetic Resources, 2023
Microsatellite primers are a valuable tool to use for both observational and experimental studies in numerous taxa. Here, we develop 18 and 16 microsatellite markers for the widespread duckweeds Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza, respectively.
