All of the 935 individuals of the four
Eranthis species were genotyped at 12 chloroplast microsatellite loci (Ebp01, Ebp40, Ebp27, Ebp31, Ebp25, Ebp12, Ebp10, Ebp06, Ebp38, Ebp11, Ebp28, Ebp32) which were randomly selected from the 24 cpSSR loci isolated by Oh and Oh (
2017). The PCR procedure was the same as that of Oh and Oh (
2017), and the length of PCR products was measured using the
ABI3730xl DNA Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) and
GeneMapper v. 3.7 (Applied Biosystems).
In addition, one individual from each population of the four focal
Eranthis species (giving a total of 33 individuals) and five outgroup species, were sequenced at two chloroplast noncoding regions,
rpl16 intron and
petL‐
psbE (Shaw et al.,
2005; Shaw, Lickey, Schilling, & Small,
2007). Sequencing was conducted in both directions with
ABI3730xl DNA Analyzer (Applied Biosystems), and the consensus sequences were created with
Sequencher 4.8 (Gene Codes Corp., Ann Arbor, MI, USA).
