Thirty four microsatellite markers for Cryptomeria japonica D. Don were developed by searching three types of library: a database of C. japonica cDNA sequences, a standard non-enriched genomic DNA library and a microsatellite-enriched library using magnetic particles. The enrichment of microsatellite sequences using magnetic particles is very efficient compared to the other two methods both in terms of the numbers of markers generated, and in the polymorphism they detect. The microsatellites developed from the genomic DNA library generally have longer repeat sequences and are more polymorphic than those from cDNA. All the developed microsatellite markers in this study showed polymorphism among 28 plus trees selected from locations scattered throughout Japan. The mean number of alleles per locus (MNA) detected in the 28 plus trees ranged from 2 to 21 with an average of 7.5. The Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) ranged from 0.160 to 0.936 with an average of 0.666. Co-dominant segregation of alleles in a three-generation pedigree of C. japonica was demonstrated at 34 microsatellite loci, and the segregation was not distorted from Mendelian expectation for all loci. In 12 out of 34 loci, a null allele was detected. Key relationships between polymorphic parameters, such as MNA and PIC, and the characteristics of microsatellite sequences, such as the longest repeat number, total repeat number and total number of nucleotides, were investigated using rank correlation coefficients, Kendall's tau. A positive correlation was found between repeat lengths and polymorphisms. The markers provide sufficient resolution for investigating gene flow within forests and seed orchards, and for genome mapping.
