Characterization of microsatellite loci in Brighamia insignis and transferability to other genera in the Hawai'ian lobelioid group.

Results indicate that these primers will provide useful estimates of genetic diversity and relatedness of ex situ collections of both Brighamia species. In addition, we have also demonstrated the widespread applicability of these markers for use in population genetic studies of several species within the Hawai'ian lobelioid group.
