Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed in the Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) by using an enriched genomic library. Ten accessions of the Japanese pear and 10 accessions of the European pear (Pyrus communis L.) were used as plant materials in this study. The obtained microsatellite loci showed a high degree of polymorphism in the Japanese pear with 3-6 alleles per locus.
