Abstract
A genomic library was constructed and 12 novel polymorphic di- and tri-nucleotide nuclear micro- satellite markers were developed for Mirbelia bursarioides (Fabaceae), a shrub from the semiarid zone of southwest Western Australia. Populations are patchily distributed in a highly fragmented landscape. Genetic diversity in a single population was high with the number of alleles per locus ranging from 4 to 12. Expected and observed heterozy- gosities averaged 0.686 and 0.720 respectively. All loci showed independent inheritance. One locus showed pos- sible evidence of null alleles. Population genetic structure is being investigated to inform appropriate seed collection and restoration strategies.
