Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Breonadia salicina (Rubiaceae) is a critically endangered plant at the local scale native to southwestern Saudi Arabia. To understand the levels and partitioning of genetic variation across populations and geographical regions of this species, we assessed its genetic diversity using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. RESULTS: Fourteen ISSR primers selected from 43 primers gave rise to 211...
