Development and Characterization of Microsatellite Markers for Central American Begonia sect. Gireoudia (Begoniaceae)
Premise of the study: Transcriptome sequence data were used to design microsatellite primers for two widespread Central American Begonia species, B.heracleifolia and B.nelumbiifolia, to investigate population structure and hybridization.Methods and Results: The transcriptome from vegetative meristem tissue from the related B.plebeja was mined for m
