EST-SSRs as a resource for population genetic analyses.
Jennifer R. Ellis,John M. Burke +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review what is known about the transferability of EST-SSRs from one taxon to another with particular reference to the potential of these markers to facilitate population genetic studies and conclude that half of all suitable EST databases could be exploited for the population genetic analysis of species of conservation concern.
Journal ArticleDOI
EST Databases as a Source for Molecular Markers: Lessons from Helianthus
TL;DR: It is revealed that more than one-third of all plant-derived EST collections of sufficient size could conceivably serve as a source of EST-SSRs for the analysis of rare, endangered, or invasive plant species worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
High genetic diversity in a rare and endangered sunflower as compared to a common congener
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used simple sequence repeat (SSR) to investigate the population genetics of an extremely rare sunflower, Helianthus verticillatus Small, which is known from only three locations in North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of rare paternal chloroplast inheritance in controlled crosses of the endangered sunflower Helianthus verticillatus
TL;DR: The findings of occasional paternal transmission of the chloroplast genome are discussed in the framework of using these markers in studies of population and evolutionary biology both in Helianthus and other angiosperms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination and linkage disequilibrium among mitochondrial genes in structured populations of the gynodioecious plant Silene vulgaris.
TL;DR: All three loci indicated a high degree of population structure (average FST= 0.63), which would limit the within-population genetic diversity required for intergenic recombination to create novel genotypes, if most mating is local.
