Development of microsatellite markers for Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus (Myrtaceae), a wild South American species.

Premise Of The Study: We developed the first set of microsatellite markers for Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus to support further studies on genetic diversity and to inform conservation strategies.

Methods And Results: The microsatellite-enriched library approach was used to isolate and characterize 12 new molecular markers. It was possible to detect 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci and one monomorphic locus.
