title: Twenty microsatellite markers for the endangeredVatica mangachapoi(Dipterocarpaceae).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Microsatellite markers were developed forVatica mangachapoi(Dipterocarpaceae), an endangered species indigenous to Southeast Asia and southern China.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty microsatellite markers, including 12 polymorphic markers, were identified fromV. mangachapoiusing high-throughput sequencing. Polymorphism at each marker was evaluated using 87 individuals from three natural populations. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from six to 15, and the observed and expected heterozygosity varied from 0.000 to 0.926 and from 0.177 to 0.864, respectively. These markers were transferred successfully to the endangered speciesV. guangxiensis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These markers may be used to investigate the genetic diversity and gene flow ofV. mangachapoiandV. guangxiensis.
