摘要

Fig trees are keystone resource species in tropical forests. In this study we developed microsatellite loci for Ficus altissima, a common dominant species in tropical China, using an enrichment approach. Nine polymorphic loci were developed, and their characteristics were analyzed in a population. Number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 6. The expected and observed heterozygosities were 0.108-0.740 and 0.111-0.800, respectively. These polymorphic microsatellites can be applied to further studies about genetic diversity and structure of F. altissima populations.
