Development of 10 single-copy nuclear DNA markers for Euchresta horsfieldii (Fabaceae), a rare medicinal plant.

Premise of the Study: Euchresta horsfieldii (Fabaceae) is a rare and endangered medicinal plant in Indonesia with restricted distribution. Single-copy nuclear DNA (scnDNA) markers were developed for this species to facilitate further investigation of genetic diversity and population structure.

Methods and Results: We performed RNA-Seq and de novo assembly of the transcriptome. Ten primer sets were developed for E. horsfieldii , all of which also amplified in E. japonica and E. tubulosa .

Conclusions: These scnDNA markers will be an important resource for the study of genetic diversity and population structure of E. horsfieldii and other species in the genus Euchresta .
