| Abstract: | We report microsatellite primer pairs for the wild tristylous daffodil, Narcissus triandrus (Amaryllidaceae). From enriched libraries, we identified 58 unique microsatellite loci. We designed primer pairs for 27 of these loci and screened genomic DNA from 38 to 40 adults from a single population. For eight polymorphic loci, the number of alleles per locus ranged from five to 17. As six primers also amplified loci in three other Narcissus species, including two horticultural varieties, we expect that some of these markers will be transferable to other Narcissus species. |
