Microsatellites development and cross-amplification for Aquilaria sinensis, an endangered agarwood-producing tree.

The article discusses the development and cross-amplification of microsatellites for Aquilaria sinensis, an endangered agarwood-producing tree. Topics mentioned include the importance of microsatellite markers for the provenience identification and genetic resource management of the tree, use of restriction site-associated DNA sequencing method to obtain the whole genome DNA sequences of the tree, and calculation of genetic diversity parameters and allelic richness.
