Isolation and characterization of ten polymorphic microsatellite loci for a vulnerable species Dacrycarpus imbricatus (Podocarpaceae) in China

- Its island-mainland distribution is an ideal frame to investigate genetic divergence.
- We developed 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers using the FIASCO protocol.
- This is the first report on the isolation of microsatellite markers in this species.
- These markers lay a solid foundation for further studies on population genetics.
