Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Arabidopsis halleri is a model species to study the adaptation of plants to soils contaminated by zinc, cadmium, and lead. To provide a neutral genetic background with which adaptive genetic markers could be compared, we developed highly polymorphic neutral microsatellite markers. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using a microsatellite-enriched library method, we identified 120 microsatellite loci for...
