Abstract

Pasania edulis (Makino) Makino is a Fagaceous tree species endemic to Japan and one of the dominant species in lucidphyllous forests in southern Kyushu, Japan. Recently, P. edulis was attacked by ambrosia beetles, Platypus quereivorus (Murayama) and mass mortality occurred in several areas in southern Kyushu. We isolated and characterized ten microsatellite loci in this species to reveal the genetic structure and gene flow. The number of alleles ranged from 3 to 11 and expected heterozygosities from 0.3761 to 0.8346. The markers described here will be useful for investigating the genetic diversity, genetic structure and gene flow, and planning for conservation of viable population of P. edulis.
