Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for the endangered scrub Lupine, Lupinus aridorum (Fabaceae)
Microsatellite primers were developed in scrub lupine ( Lupinus aridorum, Fabaceae), an endemic species to Florida that is listed as endangered in the United States, to assess connectivity among populations, identify hybrids, and examine genetic diversity. We isolated and characterized 12 microsatellite loci polymorphic in scrub lupine or in closely related species (i.e., sky-blue lupine [ L. diffusus] and Gulf Coast lupine [ L. westianus]). Loci showed low to moderate polymorphism, ranging from two to 14 alleles per locus and 0.01 to 0.86 observed heterozygosity. In conclusion, these loci are the first developed for Florida species of lupine and willmore »
