Popis: | Helianthemum squamatum (L.) Dum. Cours. (Cistaceae) is an endemic specialist plant that inhabits the gypsum soils of the semi-arid Iberian Peninsula, one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate change. In this study, eight microsatellite markers were isolated and developed using next-generation sequencing data in order to provide a validated tool for genetic studies of this species. Their polymorphisms were tested in two populations. The number of alleles and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 2 to 8 and from 0.29 to 0.82 respectively. Cross-amplification was carried out in the related congeners Helianthemum hirtum and Helianthemum cinereum. |
