Development and characterization of nine polymorphic  microsatellites for the small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera:  Delphacidae).
Nine microsatellite loci were isolated from the genome  of Laodelphax striatellus (Homoptera: Delphacidae) by constructing (TC)(6)(AC)(5) and (AG)(6)(AC)(5) compound SSR-enriched libraries using  suppression-PCR procedures. These loci were found to be highly polymorphic,  with 13 to 30 alleles per locus in the three populations that we investigated  (Jiangsu, Shandong and Zhejiang). The observed and expected heterozygosities  ranged from 0.255 to 0.833 and 0.392 to 0.929, respectively. These  microsatellite markers can be used for the study of population genetic  structure and genetic diversity of L. striatellus.
