Solving the problem of ambiguous paralogy for marker loci: microsatellite markers with diploid inheritance in Allohexaploid Mercurialis annua (Euphorbiaceae).

Journal article

Mercurialis annua is a wind-pollinated annual showing a remarkable sexual-system variation, with hexaploid populations being either monoecious or androdioecious. Hexaploid M. annua is most likely a product of hybridization between diploid M. huetii and tetraploid M. annua; therefore, we developed microsatellite loci by isolating simple sequence repeat (SSR) sequences from the diploid progenitor, cross-amplification tests in M. huetii/M. annua species complex followed by selection of loci ampl...
