Hebanthe eriantha (Amaranthaceae) is extensively collected and used in folk medicine. Microsatellite markers were developed and characterized to investigate the genetic structure and diversity of germplasm collections of this species.
Eleven highly polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed. The number of alleles observed for each locus ranged from two to eight. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.000 to 0.808 and 0.455 to 0.851, respectively.
These results show the utility of microsatellite loci for studies of population genetics in H. eriantha, which are important for the future conservation and cultivation of this medicinal species.
野苋菜（苋科）被广泛采集并用于民间医学。本研究开发并分析了微卫星标记，以调查该物种种质资源的遗传结构和多样性。
开发了 11 个高度多态性的微卫星标记。每个位点观察到的等位基因数范围为 2 至 8。观察到的和预期的杂合度分别为 0.000 至 0.808 和 0.455 至 0.851。
这些结果表明微卫星标记在研究 H.eriantha 的种群遗传学方面具有实用性，这对于该药用物种的未来保护和栽培具有重要意义。
