Premise of the StudyExpressed sequence tag–simple sequence repeat (EST‐SSR) markers were developed forCarex angustisquama(Cyperaceae) to investigate the evolutionary history of this plant that is endemic to solfatara fields in northern Japan.Methods and ResultsUsing RNA‐Seq data generated by the Illumina HiSeq 2000, 20 EST‐SSR markers were developed. Polymorphisms were assessed inC. angustisquamaand the closely related speciesC. doenitziiandC. podogyna. InC. angustisquama, many loci were monomorphic within populations; the average number of alleles ranged from one to five, and levels of expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.580, while all markers were polymorphic in a population ofC. doenitzii. This indicates that low genetic polymorphism ofC. angustisquamais likely due to the species’ population dynamics, rather than to null alleles at the developed markers.ConclusionsThese markers will be used to assess genetic diversity and structure and to investigate evolutionary history in future studies ofC. angustisquamaand related species.
