Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the carnivorous subshrub Drosophyllum lusitanicum (Drosophyllaceae)

- Drosophyllum lusitanicum is a carnivorous plant endemic to the W Mediterranean.
- Populations are associated to recurrent fire disturbance and acidic soils.
- 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated.
- The markers are central to further studies of population genetics of D. lusitanicum.
