A set of polymorphic microsatellites for Vochysia ferruginea, a promising tree for land reclamation in the Neotropics

摘要

Vochysia ferruginea Mart. (Vochysiaceae) is a gap colonist of Neotropical forest. Because of its high tolerance of low-nutrient acidic conditions and high aluminum and iron concentrations, and its high potential seed and pollen dispersal, it is a promising timber species for commercial development as reclaimed forest on degraded land. We present here primer sequences for 10 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci for use with V. ferruginea to assess fine scale genetic structure and gene flow dynamics.
