title: Development of microsatellites for Scirpus mariqueter Wang et Tang (Cyperaceae) and cross-species amplification in Scirpus planiculmis F. Schmidt.
abstract: We report eight microsatellite markers developed for Scirpus mariqueter Wang et Tang using 5'-anchored PCR. They were tested using 30 S. mariqueter individuals. The observed and expected heterozygosity levels ranged from 0.0690 to 0.8426 and from 0.0678 to 0.5249, respectively. Cross-amplification was carried out in a congener, S. planiculmis F. Schmidt. All these markers will be very helpful in population genetics study of S. mariqueter and S. planiculmis.
