Abstract
Caesalpinia echinata commonly known as Paubrasil Brazilwood the famous tree that named Brazil is native to the Atlantic forest Men extensively exploited it ever since discovery and colonial times due to its value as a source of red dye As a consequence Brazilwood is a threatened species with populations reduced to small forest fragments Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from an enriched genomic library Using fluorescentlylabeled primers a total of 83 alleles were found after analyzing a sample of 44 trees These high genetic information content markers should allow detailed investigations of mating systems gene flow population structure and paternity in natural populations
