Abstract

A set of microsatellite markers was developed for Clinostigma savoryanum, an endemic palm species distributed in the Bonin Islands. We obtained 233 sequences that were unique, containing microsatellites from an enriched library. Twelve loci were screened for their feasibility to be used as high resolution genetic markers using each 30 individuals from two insular populations, Haha-jima and Mukou-jima. They showed polymorphisms of two to eight alleles per locus and expected heterozygosities of 0.124–0.789. There is no evidence for significant scoring error due to stuttering, large allele dropout and null alleles at 95% confidence interval except for the presence of null alleles in CLS00-77 of Mukou-jima population.
