Development and characterization of 13 SSR markers for an endangered insular juniper (Juniperus cedrus Webb & Berth.)
Published in Conservation Genetics Resources
We report the development of 13 microsatellite markers (SSR) for the Canarian endemic juniper, Juniperus cedrus. Evaluated in a set of 28 individuals sampled on the island of Tenerife, all markers showed polymorphism and displayed 56 alleles. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 8, with an average of 4.31 alleles per locus. This set of SSR marker...
Contrasting phenology and female cone characteristics of the two Macaronesian island endemic cedars (Juniperus cedrus an...
Published in European Journal of Forest Research
Phenology and female cone characteristics of the two endemic cedars (Juniperus cedrus and J. brevifolia) from the Macaronesian islands were studied. Despite their closely taxonomic affinity and their evolution under insular conditions, different trends were recorded. Mature J. cedrus female cones were present throughout the year, while those from J...
