Abstract:
The 18 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and characterized for
C. flavomarginata by using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequence Containing Repeats (FIASCO) protocol to construct an enriched library of microsatellite. These markers revealed 2 to 14 alleles, with an average of 6.3 alleles per locus. The expected and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.032 to 0.930 (mean 0.329) and from 0.148 to 0.903 (mean 0.635), respectively. Therefore, these markers would be useful tool for future genetics and population structure studies and establish new conservation strategies of
C. flavomarginata.
