Isolation and characterization of 15 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the devastating dry rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans

摘要

Fifteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from microsatellite-enriched DNA libraries of the devastating dry rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans. The loci exhibited two to four alleles per locus and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.13 to 0.47. The codominant markers, described here for this fungus, will permit further studies in population genetics and phylogeography of this economically highly important species.
