Premise: The natural population size of (Lycopodiaceae) has dramatically decreased and the species has become endangered due to overexploitation. Here, we developed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for to survey both its genetic diversity and population structure.
Methods And Results: Based on 177 individuals, 120 SSR primer pairs were developed and optimized from five regions of the transcriptomic data. Of these primer pairs, 20 were successfully amplified and 10 showed obvious polymorphism. These polymorphic loci were investigated to study the genetic diversity of . Two to 11 alleles per locus were identified, the level of observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.00 to 1.00, and the level of expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.19 to 0.79. All loci were successfully amplified in , , and .
Conclusions: The 10 polymorphic primer pairs developed here will be valuable for studies of the endangered and other related species.

() is one of the primary agents involved in porcine respiratory disease complex, and circulates in the swine industry worldwide. The prevention and control of is complicated. Thus, a recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay coupled with the clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system was established for the detection of .

Unlabelled: (Arabica) and (Robusta) are valuable agricultural products traded worldwide. In this study, we designed specific primer pairs for Arabica and Robusta using chloroplast genes to distinguish and quantify the two types of coffee beans. We assessed the specificity, sensitivity, and applicability of the qRT-PCR assay using all the primer pairs.

Background: Despite the rapid advancement of high-throughput sequencing, simple sequence repeats (SSRs) remain indispensable molecular markers for various applied and research tasks owing to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use. However, existing SSR markers cannot meet the growing demand for research on lotus (Nelumbo Adans.) given their scarcity and weak connections to the lotus genome.
