Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.) is one of main tree species in Japan. In recent years, the species has been severely damaged by pine wood nematodes, and the distribution area has been gradually decreasing. In order to protect and preserve forests of this species, it may be indispensable to know how P. densiflora is reproduced in nature. In this paper and as a first step to investigate the reproduction behaviour of P. densiflora, polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed.Microsatellite isolation was performed after an enrichment method (Edwards et al. 1996) modified by Miwa et al.(2000). Total DNA was extracted from fresh leaves of P. densiflora with a modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method (Zhou et al. 1999), and digested with either BamHI, EcoRI, EcoRV, XbaI or XhoI restriction enzyme. Fragments produced by the above restriction digestion, except for EcoRV which directly made blunted ends, were blunted by a DNA Blunting Kit (Takara Shuzo Co.) and subsequently ligated with an EcoRI/NotI/BamHI adaptor by a DNA Ligation Kit (Takara Shuzo Co.). The adaptor-ligated fragments were then amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
