Development of a novel set of microsatellite markers for Lippia alba (Verbenaceae)

D. S. Rocha, Santos, C. P., Bajay, M. M., Campos, J. B., Blank, A. F., Pinheiro, J. B., and Zucchi, M. I., Development of a novel set of microsatellite markers for Lippia alba (Verbenaceae), vol. 14, pp. 971-974, 2015.

Microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for Lippia alba to characterize the L. alba germplasm bank of Universidade de São Paulo. A genomic library enabled the design of 9 microsatellite primers. Six of the 9 primers yielded polymorphic products, which defined 2 groups in the bank. The data provide support to characterize germplasm banks, genetic breeding programs for L. alba, and other genetic diversity studies and classifications of species in the genus Lippia.
