Development of polymorphic simple sequence repeat markers in Huperzia serrata (Lycopodiaceae). [PDF]
PremiseThe natural population size of Huperzia serrata (Lycopodiaceae) has dramatically decreased and the species has become endangered due to overexploitation. Here, we developed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for H. serrata to survey both its genetic diversity and population structure.Methods and ResultsBased on 177 individuals, 120 SSR primer ...
