Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci for the endangered wetland plant Adenophora palustris (Campanulaceae).

Premise Of The Study: Adenophora palustris (Campanulaceae) is an endangered wetland plant species in Japan. Although it is widely distributed in East Asia, only six extant populations are known in Japan, with fewer than 1000 individuals in total. We developed 15 microsatellite markers for this species and confirmed their utility for the closely related species A.
