• Simple sequence repeats for population-level studies of pines
  ( American Journal of Botany ) In the May issue of Applications in Plant Sciences scientists compare a set of plastid simple sequence repeat loci across over 100 pine species and test them in groups of Ponderosa pine. The results of this study will be useful in delimiting species complexes in Pinus, and the demonstrated multiplex method can be easily applied to other plant groups.
