B. M.  aDevelopment and characterization of microsatellite markers for the wild South American passiflora cincinnata (Passifloraceae).h[electronic resource]  c2012  aPremise of the study: We developed the fi rst set of microsatellite markers for the passion fruit, Passifl ora cincinnata , to provide tools for further study of its genetic diversity and to support current conservation and genetic studies. Methods and Results: We used a microsatellite-enriched library approach to isolate and characterize 25 new molecular markers. Seven primer pairs successfully amplifi ed polymorphic microsatellite regions, with an average of fi ve alleles per locus. The mean values of expected and observed levels of heterozygosity were 0.516 and 0.525, respectively. Conclusions: The microsatellite markers identifi ed in this study may be valuable tools for population genetic studies, and this set of markers also may be useful in the design of a genetic conservation strategy, mating system, and hybridization studies.  aMaracujá1 aSANTOS, E.
