Abstract

Cerbera manghas L. (Apocynaceae), a mangrove species, is fragile and susceptible to human pressure. In this study, 26 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed across 64 C. manghas individuals from four populations in South China. The number of alleles varied from 2 to 11 alleles with an average of 5.54 per locus. The observed and expected heterozygosities per population ranged from 0.063 to 0.874, respectively. These markers will be useful for genetic studies toward the strategies for conservation and management of this important mangrove resource.
