Microsatellite marker development in the crop wild relative Linum bienne using genome skimming
Premise: Nuclear microsatellite markers were developed for Linum bienne, the sister species of the crop L. usitatissimum, to provide molecular genetic tools for the investigation of L. bienne genetic diversity and structure. Methods and Results: Fifty microsatellite loci were identified in L. bienne by means of genome skimming, and 44...Landoni, Beatrice ; Viruel, Juan ; Gómez, Rocio ; Allaby, Robin G. ; Brennan, Adrian C. …

Geographical structure of genetic diversity in Loudetia simplex (Poaceae) in Madagascar and South Africa
Ecologically dominant species are primary determinants of ecosystem function, especially in grassy ecosystems, but the history and biology of grassy ecosystems in Madagascar are poorly understood compared to those of Africa. Loudetia simplex is a C4 perennial grass that is adapted to fire and common to dominant across Africa. It...
