The low levels of allozymic variability found in the Critically Endangered Borderea chouardii prompted us to develop microsatellite markers to assess the genetic variability and population structure for the adequate conservation management of this species. A (CTT) n enriched partial genomic library was constructed. Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from it, rendering 51 alleles in 47 individuals analysed. The allelic pattern observed for all of the loci with more than two alleles suggests that B. chouardii is tetraploid.
