Development Of Microsatellite Markers And Genetic Diversity Assessment Of Kempas (Koompassia Malaccensis) In Peninsular Malaysia

A total of 24 novel microsatellite markers have been successfully isolated and characterised in an important tropical timber species of the family Leguminosae, Koompassia malaccensis, locally known as kempas. The microsatellite primers were designed from a genomic library enriched for dinucleotid...
