    Abstract

    Twelve microsatellite loci were developed from a genomic library enriched for SSRs of Pachira quniata, a canopy tree species of dry and some humid forests in the neotropics (Central and northern South America). Genotyping of 30 trees from one population on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua was successfully performed. The loci were across amplified in related species. These microsatellites will be used to compare regional population structuring and mating patterns in fragmented landscapes.
