Twenty-four additional microsatellite markers derived from expressed sequence tags of the endangered tropical tree Shorea leprosula (Dipterocarpaceae).

We developed microsatellite markers from newly isolated expressed sequence tags of an endangered tropical tree species, Shorea leprosula (Dipterocarpaceae). Twenty-four loci exhibited clear, polymorphic amplification patterns among 52 individuals from a population in Indonesia, with two to 16 alleles per locus. No locus showed significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and no significant genotypic disequilibrium was detected for any pair of loci after sequential Bonferroni correction.
