Ecuador is one of the countries with the greatest diversity of the genus, including 18 species, 12 of which are endemic. Within southeastern Ecuador, the Cordillera del Cóndor is a region characterized by exceptionally high levels of plant endemism, largely due to its unique geology. Recent botanical explorations across this area have led to the discovery of several new species in recent years. Among those was a peculiar species of <i>Thibaudia</i>that is distinct by having exclusively cauliflorous inflorescences in which the pedicel is articulated with the calyx and the filaments are connate.

Deforestation and the growth of settlements are the main factors that affect the biodiversity hotspots in Vietnam such as Northwest, Northeast, North Central and Central Highlands regions. This has led to a decline of the species, so effective conservation strategies are urgently required. This study aimed to identify simple sequence repeat markers within expressed sequence tags from &lt;i&gt;C.konishii&lt;/i&gt;, develop markers from them and assess the potential of those markers for diversity and population structure analysis of the plant. The Illumina HiSeq™ 4000 sequencing technology was applied for the transcriptomic analysis of &lt;i&gt;C.konishii&lt;/i&gt; and genetic differentiation and population structure of &lt;i&gt;C.konishii&lt;/i&gt; in Vietnam. In this study, the transcriptomes of &lt;i&gt;C.konishii&lt;/i&gt; were analysed using the Illumina HiSeq&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; 4000 sequencing system and a total of 5,361,856,500 base pairs were generated. &lt;i&gt;De novo&lt;/i&gt; assembly indicated that 58,905 unigenes were generated (average length = 736.4 bp, N50 = 1,869 bp, Q20 = 98.44% and Q30 = 95.08%). A total of 23,232 and 16,510 unigenes had significant similarities amongst Nr and Swiss-Prot, respectively. In the GO database, 12,056 (20.47%) unigenes were annotated and these genes were divided into three major categories and 50 subcategories. In the KOG analysis, 13,248 (22.49 %) unigenes were annotated and divided into 25 gene function categories. In the KEGG analysis, 8,714 (14.79%) unigenes were annotated. According to the related pathways involved, they could be classified into 56 subclasses. In this study, we have identified a total of 2,854 EST-SSRs markers. Of the 960 primer pairs, 99 were validated and reported for polymorphism. The genetic diversity within and amongst &lt;i&gt;C.konishii&lt;/i&gt; populations was studied using 10 SSR markers.
