Development of microsatellite markers for Viscum coloratum (Santalaceae) and their application to wild populations

摘要

Premise of the study:Microsatellite primers were developed for Viscum coloratum (Santalaceae), a semiparasitic medicinal plant that is known for its anticancer properties. Due to excessive human harvesting and loss of suitable habitat of its populations, it has become a potentially threatened species requiring immediate conservation efforts.
