title: Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Dipteronia dyerana (Sapindaceae), an endangered endemic species in China.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Microsatellite markers were developed for Dipteronia dyerana, an endangered endemic species in China, to study the population genetics of this species.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences Containing repeats (FIASCO) protocol, 12 microsatellite markers that were successfully amplified showed polymorphism when tested on 31 individuals from two populations in the counties of Wenshan and Mengzi. Overall, the number of alleles per locus ranged between seven and 25, with an average of 12.3. Nine of these markers were able to be amplified in D. sinensis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These microsatellite markers should facilitate further studies on the population genetics and the reproductive ecology of Dipteronia.
