Isolation and characterization of 15 polymorphic microsatellite loci in Tetragastris panamensis (Burseraceae), a widespread Neotropical forest tree

摘要

Tetagastris panamensis is a tropical forest canopy tree that is broadly distributed across Central and South America. We isolated 15 microsatellite loci and characterized them in populations from Panama and Ecuador. The number of alleles per locus in 61 individuals ranged from 4 to 22, and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.044 to 0.909. The high overall single-parent exclusion probability (P = 1.00) highlights the utility of these loci for parentage-based analyses of gene flow.
