DOIAbstract
Development of specific microsatellite primers is a relatively expensive and time-consuming process, so transferring of already developed markers from one species to others is desirable, especially for non-model organisms with large genome structure such as conifers. In austral South America the three Cupressaceae are monotypic genera of high conservation and evolutionary relevance. Although, they had beenthe focus of numerous population genetic studies the lack of highly polymorphic markers as microsatellites for all species, has limited the possibility of evolutionary studies and the design of appropriate conservation plans. Thus the aim of this study is to transfer and test microsatellites primers early designed for Austrocedrus to Fit...
