| Abstract: |
RNA-sequencing was used to develop 16 microsatellite markers for the pearly everlasting, Anaphalis margaritacea var. yedoensis (Franch. et Sav.) Ohwi (Asteraceae), which inhabits gravel bars throughout the Japanese archipelago. The mean number of alleles for these 16 markers in two populations in the Hokkaido and Shizuoka Prefectures, was 3.5 and 4.0, respectively, while the mean expected heterozygosity was 0.525 and 0.560, respectively, with a significant genetic differentiation between the two populations. All markers could also be amplified in two conspecific taxa, A. margaritacea var. margaritacea and var. angustifolia, whereas 11 of the 16 markers were amplifiable in two congeneric species, A. sinica and A. alpicola. These newly developed microsatellite markers will support understanding of population genetics and mating systems in A. margaritacea var. yedoensis, and several will potentially be of use in similar studies in other Anaphalis species.
