Isolation and characterization of microsatellites in the lichen Buellia frigida (Physciaceae), an Antarctic endemic. American Journal of Botany, 99(4), e131-e133.0002-9122https://hdl.handle.net/10289/7601Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were characterized for an Antarctic endemic, Buellia frigida, to investigate population structure and origin of Antarctic lichens. Methods and Results: Five primer sets were characterized. All loci were polymorphic with eight to 16 alleles per locus in a sample of 59 lichens. Conclusions: The microsatellite markers potentially provide insight into population structure and gene flow of B. frigida.application/pdfenThis article is published in the American Journal of Botany © 2012 Botanical Society of AmericaAntarcticaBuellia frigidamicrosatellitesPhysciaceaepopulation structureJournal Article10.3732/ajb.1100440
