Interpretive Summary: We have developed ten microsatelite DNA markers for Iris hexagona, a wetland plant in the deep South that is also an important parent of the Louisiana iris hybrids. These markers are able to distinguish very closely related individuals and will be used to understand the genetic structure of wild populations of the species and establish the pedigree of hybrids.
Technical Abstract: Ten microsatellite loci isolated from Iris hexagona are described and tested across five populations of the species from Florida. All but one are highly polymorphic. These loci will be utilized to investigate patterns of genetic variation in the species throughout the Florida peninsula.
