Abstract: | Nine microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the endangered and tertiary relict perennial herb, Tricyrtis ishiiana. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 33. The expected (H E) and observed (H O) heterozygosities were 0.207–0.944 and 0.215–0.813, respectively, from 96 individuals on one population. Five loci exhibited significantly fewer heterozygotes than expected under Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05). These primers amplifying microsatellites in this species may provide a useful tool for population genetics to establish conservation strategy. |
