Abstract

Nine microsatellite markers of a tropical seagrass species, Syringodium isoetifolium, were developed to investigate genetic diversity and genetic connectivity. The number of alleles detected per locus ranged from two to 16, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.00 to 1.00 and 0.12 to 0.91, respectively. The markers described here are sufficiently polymorphic and informative to investigate the genetic diversity, genetic connectivity and genetic structure of S. isoetifolium.
