The cactus Mammillaria crucigera is a threatened species endemic to central Mexico. As a means of assessing population genetic status of these species, eight microsatellite markers were developed. These primers were tested in 40 individual from two wild populations. The results showed that these primers will be useful to describe population structure and aid to the conservation of species. The eight primers were tested in other Mammillaria species and most of them showed successful amplification.
柱状仙人掌 Mammillaria crucigera 是一种分布于中美洲的濒危物种。为了评估这些物种的种群遗传状况，开发了 8 个微卫星标记。这些引物在来自两个野生种群的 40 个个体中进行了测试。结果表明，这些引物将有助于描述种群结构，并有助于物种保护。这 8 个引物在其他柱状仙人掌物种中进行了测试，其中大多数都成功扩增。
