To promote programs for the conservation and restoration of the endangered speciesPrimula sieboldii, we examined genetic variation at eight microsatellite loci among and within 32 remnant wild populations throughout Japan. Total allelic diversity within a population was higher in larger populations, but not so after rarefaction adjustment. The positive relationship between population size and the inbreeding coefficient may suggest that more heterozygous genets tend to survive the habitat contraction possibly because of the higher fitness associated with heterozygosity. By principal coordinate analysis and Bayesian analysis, we detected four genetic groups (Hokkaido, northern Honshu, central Honshu, and western Japan), which could be recognized as management units ofP. sieboldii. If supplementation with plants from other populations were planned, it should be conducted among populations which belong to the same management unit and which are likely to represent the same adaptive variation.
