چکیده
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Transcriptomes were used to develop microsatellite markers for the plant genus Orinus (Poaceae), which comprises three species of grasses (O. thoroldii, O. kokonoricus, and O. intermedius) that are widely distributed in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. METHODS AND RESULTS Primer pairs were developed for 16 high-quality simple sequence repeats (SSRs) using transcriptomes. SSRs were amplified in 248 individuals representing the three species of Orinus; the number of alleles per locus ranged from one to seven, with an average of 2.6. The expected and observed heterozygosity per locus varied from 0.00 to 0.83 and from 0.00 to 1.00, respectively, with respective mean values of 0.32 and 0.34. CONCLUSIONS These newly developed SSR markers will be valuable for evaluating the population genetic structure of Orinus throughout its range.

Development of SSR markers for a Tibetan medicinal plant, Lancea tibetica (Phrymaceae), based on RAD sequencing1
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Lancea tibetica (Phrymaceae), a Tibetan medicinal plant, is endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The over-exploitation of wild L. tibetica has led to the destruction of many populations. To enhance protection and management, biological research, especially population genetic studies, should be carried out on L. tibetica. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of L. tibetica ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum; Poaceae) is a minor crop with good nutritional qualities and strong tolerance to drought stress and soil infertility. However, studies on genetic diversity have been limited due to a lack of efficient genetic markers. METHODS Illumina sequencing technology was used to generate short read sequences of proso millet, and de novo transcriptome...
