Polymorphic and transferable microsatellite loci among five Eucalyptus species (Eucalytpus grandis, Eucalytpus urophylla, Eucalytpus tereticornis, Eucalytpus saligna and Eucalytpus brassiana) were developed in order to use them in further studies of population structure, conservation, forest management and breeding programs of the genus. Four new microsatellite loci were isolated from the database Eucalyptus Sequencing Project Consortium (FORESTs). Allele numbers ranged from two to ten, the observed heterozygosity (Ho) ranged from 0 to 1 and the expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.255 to 0.792. Microsatellite loci described demonstrated a great variation and reliable findings that could support other future studies focusing breeding programs and related areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
