Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci for (Ericaceae).

Premise Of The Study: We developed microsatellite primers for (Ericaceae), a narrowly distributed species found in the Dabie Mountains, China, to study the genetic diversity, population structure, and evolutionary history of the species.

Methods And Results: Two terminal sequencing modes of the Illumina HiSeq platform were used to mine simple sequence repeat markers from large-scale transcriptional groups. In this study, 24 microsatellite loci were screened.
