Premise of the study: Microsatellite primers were developed for studies of polyploid evolution, ecological genetics, conservation
genetics, and species delimitation in the genus Solidago .
• Methods and Results: Illumina sequencing of a shotgun library from S. gigantea identifi ed ca. 1900 putative single-copy loci.
Fourteen loci were subsequently shown to be amplifi able, single-copy, and variable in a broad range of Solidago species.
• Conclusions: The utility of these markers both across the genus and in herbarium specimens of a wide age range will facilitate
numerous inter- and intraspecifi c studies in the ca. 120 Solidago species.
