Development and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers for Conopholis americana (Orobanchaceae)
This week we recognize the work of Ph.D. student Anuar Rodrigues from the Stefanović Lab.
Anuar’s paper recently appeared in American Journal of Botany. This paper develops new molecular resources for studying population genetic diversity in an obligate root parasite. Their initial screen shows that C. americana populations appear to be highly inbred. These markers will now be used to initiate a larger scale study of the population genetics and phylogeography of Conophilis.
Keep up the great work, Anuar!
