Conservation of 15 out of 24 previously identified microsatellite loci (62.5%), was found in a survey of the South American oak, Quercus humboldtii. The number of alleles per locus varied from 2 to 20, detecting at least 5 microsatellite loci with 5 or more alleles. This number of loci and alleles is adequate for most studies of genetic diversity and gene flow analysis. In addition, a method for extracting DNA from mature oak leaves is described that minimizes oxidation of tannins, a common problem in silica-gel-dried samples. The microsatellite markers detected in this study and the DNA extraction protocol may be applied to more than 30 species of Quercus that exist in tropical America.
