Abstract
Background Aspidosperma polyneuron (Apocynaceae), commonly known as peroba-rosa, is a native and perennial species characteristic of semideciduous forest in submontane formation of Atlantic rain forest [1]. This species is recommended for ecosystems recovery and restoration of riparian forests in areas without flooding. But, the crescent logging, agriculture and urban expansion caused the reduction of native population of A. polyneuron. It is now included in the Red List of Threatened Species [http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/ 32023/0]. Little is known about the population structure of A. polyneuron and the effects of the spatial isolation on the levels of genetic diversity and gene flow. In this study, we developed microsatellite loci for A. polyneuron aiming future studies of genetic structure, gene flow and mating system.
