Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for sour jujube (Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa)

Published on Jun 30, 2018 02:29 AM

Sour jujube (Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa) is an important
wild fruit tree and traditional Chinese medicine. Ten
microsatellite markers of sour jujube were developed using
a modified dual-suppression-PCR technique.
Polymorphism of each locus was detected in 40 individuals
from three natural populations.The number of alleles per
locus ranged from 2 to 10, with an average of 6.4. The
expected and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.420
to 0.832 and 0.161 to 0.975,respectively.The markers will be
useful for future genetic diversity and population genetic
studies, and may help to establish strategies for
conservation of this species.
