Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci for Hibiscus aridicola (Malvaceae), an endangered plant endemic to the dry-hot valleys of Jinsha River in Southwest China.

Abstract excerpt

Hibiscus aridicola (Malvaceae) is an endangered ornamental shrub endemic to the dry-hot valleys of Jinsha River in southwest China. Only four natural populations of H. aridicola exist in the wild according to our field investigation. It can be inferred that H. aridicola is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild and an urgent conservation strategy is required. By using a modified biotin-streptavidin...
