Abstract Twenty-three microsatellite markers were developed from an AC-enriched genomic library of Eucommia ulmoides, an economically important tree species for both herbal medicine and organic chemical industry in China. Nineteen microsatellite loci were found polymorphic by testing 36 individuals from 10 populations, with two to 14 alleles per locus. The expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.054 to 0.874. This set of microsatellite markers has provided a useful tool for the ongoing efforts in studying population genetic structure of E. ulmoides.
