Transcriptome-wide mining characterization and development of microsatellite markers in Lychnis kiusiana (Caryophyllaceae)

摘要

BackgroundLychnis kiusiana Makino is an endangered perennial herb native to wetland areas in Korea and Japan. Despite its conservational and evolutionary significance, population genetic resources are lacking for this species. Next-generation sequencing has been accepted as a rapid and cost-effective solution for the identification of microsatellite markers in nonmodel plants.
