Article: Research conducted at Cornell University has updated our knowledge about molecular ecology.

"Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the closely related and reproductively compatible species comprising the A-genome perennial group of the legume genus Glycine," scientists in the United States report.

"Primers developed from the widespread and isozymically differentiated G. canescens amplified successfully across G. clandestina and four other species within the complex. Species were highly polymorphic, and observed heterozygosities were extremely low for all loci, as expected for these predominantly autogamous taxa," wrote M.J. Bronski and colleagues, Cornell University.

The researchers concluded: "These markers will be useful ...
