Among 356 positive colonies verified by colony PCR of the （AG）n microsatellite-enriched library, 233 colonies were selected for further sequencing. According to the results, 202 colonies containing microsatellites were obtained, accounting for 86.7%. Discarding sequences with miscella- neous peaks, overlapping peaks and weak signals, 39 sequences were screened finally for subsequent primer exploitation, including 22 perfect type SSR loci, 5 im- perfect type SSR loci and 12 compound type SSR loci. The FIASCO method is efficient and feasible for constructing microsatellite-enriched libraries of Rhododendron spp. , which laid a solid foundation for isolation of microsatellite loci and investigation of genetic diversity and genetic structure of Rhododendron spp.展开更多
