Characterization and Multiplexing of 21 Microsatellite Markers for the Herb Noccaea caerulescens (Brassicaceae)
Abstract
Premise of the study: Multiplexed microsatellite markers were developed for population genetic studies in the pseudometallophyte
Noccaea caerulescens (Brassicaceae), a model species to investigate metal tolerance and hyperaccumulation in higher
plants.
• Methods and Results: Microsatellite loci were isolated through pyrosequencing of an enriched DNA library. Three multiplexes
combining four previously published and 17 newly designed markers were developed. The new markers were screened in
metallicolous and nonmetallicolous populations from southern France. The total number of alleles per locus ranged from fi ve
to 18. The observed heterozygosity per locus and per population ranged from 0 to 0.83, and expected heterozygosity ranged
from 0 to 0.89.
• Conclusions: The investigated loci showed reasonable to high levels of polymorphism at the regional scale. The multiplex set
should be helpful in investigating genetic diversity, population structure, and demographic history in N. caerulescens at various
spatial scales.
