Abstract

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Microsatellite primers were developed for a widespread limestone endemic sedge,

METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-eight primer pairs were designed from Illumina sequence data and screened for suitability. Fourteen of these primer pairs were polymorphic and generated one to seven alleles per locus. Cross-species amplifications were conducted for all four members of

CONCLUSIONS: These primer pairs can be used to assess the genetic diversity and population structure in future studies of
