Abstract

Microsatellite primers are a valuable tool to use for both observational and experimental studies in numerous taxa. Here, we develop 18 and 16 microsatellite markers for the widespread duckweeds Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza, respectively. Only four primers were not polymorphic when tested on samples from Europe and Western Pennsylvania, USA.
