Table 3. Results of microsatellite locus transferability to Pinus albicaulis for primers developed in other Pinus species.
| Source species | Loci tested | Loci transferred | Success (%) | Average Na |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P. cembra | 14 | 1 | 7.1 | 5.0 |
| P. koraiensis | 13 | 8 | 61.5 | 7.5 |
| P. strobus | 19 | 3 | 15.8 | 6.7 |
| P. parviflora | 3 | 1 | 33.3 | 8.0 |
Number of loci tested per species, number that amplified in Pinus albicaulis Engelm. (Pinaceae), percent of total loci tested that transferred successfully, and average number of alleles (Na) per locus. Primers were screened in two populations (Henderson Mountain, Custer Gallatin National Forest, MT, and Mount Washburn, Yellowstone National Park, WY).
