Abstract

We report the development of eight nuclear microsatellite loci (SSR) for Parolinia ornata Webb (Brassicaceae), an endemic species from the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) that belongs to the Canarian endemic genus Parolinia. Following evaluation of 36 individuals sampled in one population, all loci showed polymorphism, and displayed 33 alleles overall. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to eight, with an average of 4.38. This set of SSR markers can be very useful in further studies addressing the genetic managing and conservation of this endemic species, and across-taxa amplification and genotyping tests confirmed their utility in the other six species of this Canarian endemic genus, three of which are critically endangered.
