Case Study 2 -
National Council for
the Conservation of Plants and Gardens
A current case is the microsatellite
development for an interesting garden species,
Schizostylus
(Kaffir Lilies). This was a request from a member of the National Council
for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens, who is also holder of a National
Plant Collection of Schizostylis. The reason that we were approached
is because approximately 50 described garden cultivars are difficult to
identify and there is the suspicion that there may be duplicates in the
collection. Microsatellites developed by Bioprofiles are currently used to
identify and classify the cultivars described. |
