Development of microsatellite markers for Calyptranthes clusiifolia (Myrtaceae)

The endemic tree species Calyptranthes clusiifolia (Myrtaceae) plays a relevant ecological role in the forest fragments where it has a common occurrence. In this study, we reported the development of microsatellite markers for C. clusiifolia what will allow a better understanding of the relationship between the forest fragmentation process and the genetic structure and diversity of tree populations. Seven microsatellite markers were developed using an enriched genomic library and characterized in 30 individuals (from three populations). These seven loci were polymorphic and resulted in a total of 23 alleles. The expected heterozygosity (H_E) varied from 0.14 (Caly 06) to 0.73 (Caly 22). Linkage disequilibrium between the loci (p > 0.0007) pairs was not detected. The parentage exclusion power of the first (Pe-1) and the second (Pe-2) parents were 0.6099 and 0.8548, respectively. The microsatellite markers developed are indicated for future studies of the genetic diversity in natural populations of C. clusiifolia.
