Sumario:PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Microsatellite markers were developed for Arthropodium cirratum (Asparagaceae) to study population genetic structure and translocation of this species. These markers were tested for cross-amplification in two other Arthropodium species. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sixteen microsatellite markers were developed from a genomic library and tested in three populations of A. cirratum. The loci exhibited one to five alleles per locus, with private alleles present in each of the populations. Cross-amplification tests in the two other New Zealand Arthropodium species revealed that many of the loci amplify and demonstrate polymorphism in A. bifurcatum. CONCLUSIONS: These markers will be useful for determining genetic structure in A. cirratum and for determining the origins of translocated populations of this species.
