We developed five nuclear microsatellite markers in Juniperus communis L. using an enriched library method. Samples from 28 juniper individuals were collected in Spain, Germany and Slovakia and were analysed at the five loci. A high level of allelic diversity with values ranging from nine to 23 alleles was found. These highly polymorphic markers will be used in ongoing population genetic studies to evaluate the genetic resources and to contribute to the maintenance of genetic diversity of juniper in Middle Europe.

Abstract
We developed five nuclear microsatellite markers in Juniperus communis L. using an enriched library method. Samples from 28 juniper individuals were collected in Spain, Germany and Slovakia and were analysed at the five loci. A high level of allelic diversity with values ranging from nine to 23 alleles was found. These highly polymorphic markers will be used in ongoing population genetic studies to evaluate the genetic resources and to contribute to the maintenance of genetic diversity of juniper in Middle Europe.File in questo prodotto:
