Abstract: | Fatsia polycarpa Hayata (Araliaceae) is an element of evergreen forests at middle elevations in Taiwan, also representing the southern limitation
in distribution of the genus. In this study, we described the development of 11 microsatellite loci from F. polycarpa in Taiwan for genetic studies. These new markers were tested in 20 individuals of 5 populations of the woody species. The
number of alleles ranged from 9 to 18. The expected (H
E
) and observed (H
O
) heterozygosities were 0.80–0.95 and 0.10–0.75, respectively. Six of the 11 microsatellite loci are significantly deviated
from Hardy–Weinberg expectations likely due to the population structure within samples. No linkage disequilibrium were observed
from pairwise comparisons of loci.
