Development and Application of EST-SSR Markers in Cephalotaxus oliveri From Transcriptome Sequences

Cephalotaxus oliveri is an endemic conifer of China, which has medicinal and ornamental value. However, the limited molecular markers and genetic information are insufficient for further genetic studies of this species. In this study, we characterized and developed the EST-SSRs from transcriptome se...
