title: Isolation and characterization of thirteen polymorphic microsatellite loci in the A-genome perennial group of the legume genus Glycine.
abstract: Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the closely related and reproductively compatible species comprising the A-genome perennial group of the legume genus Glycine. Primers developed from the widespread and isozymically differentiated G. canescens amplified successfully across G. clandestina and four other species within the complex. Species were highly polymorphic, and observed heterozygosities were extremely low for all loci, as expected for these predominantly autogamous taxa. These markers will be useful in studying genetic variation, population structure, gene flow, and polyploidy within the A-genome group.
