title: Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers from Clematoclethra scandens (Actinidiaceae).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Microsatellite makers were developed for Clematoclethra scandens to investigate its population genetics and speciation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 36 microsatellite markers were isolated using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences COntaining repeats (FIASCO) method. Their polymorphisms were assessed in two natural populations. The results showed that 30 markers displayed prominent polymorphisms and six markers were monomorphic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These microsatellite loci will facilitate further studies on population genetics and speciation of C. scandens.
