Characterizations of microsatellite DNA markers for Acacia tortilis

Gidon Winters, Galina Shklar, Leonid Korol

Nuclear microsatellite markers were developed for Acacia tortilis to study patterns of population genetic structure across the species' distribution. Twelve dinucleotide repeat loci were developed and tested on 20 individuals sampled from four populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 5 to 15, expected heterozygosities from 0.701 to 0.873 and the polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.675 to 0.861.
