title: Isolation and characterization of 20 new microsatellite loci in Coriaria nepalensis (Coriariaceae).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Microsatellite markers were developed for Coriaria nepalensis, a traditional Chinese medicinal and ornamental plant, to investigate its genetic diversity and population genetic structure as well as its evolutionary history.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty-eight dinucleotide microsatellite loci were identified in C. nepalensis, 20 of which showed polymorphism among five populations. The expected heterozygosities were 0-1 (mean 0.469).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These markers may be useful for further investigation of the population genetics, systematics, and phylogeography of Coriaria nepalensis.
