Characterization of new microsatellite loci isolated from Santiria trimera (Burseraceae).

Premise Of The Study: To study the genetic structure among three morphotypes of an African rainforest tree species, Santiria trimera, nuclear microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized.

Methods And Results: Seven polymorphic loci were isolated using a pyrosequencing-based protocol and successfully amplified on three different morphotypes of S. trimera.
