Abstract:
                                      The transferability of 18 
Pinus kesiya var. 
langbianensis EST-SSR markers to related species was studied. The transferability percentages of selected primers to 
P.massoniana, 
P.densata, 
P.tabuliformis and 
P.yunnanensis were 88.89%. The percentage of polymorphism of 18 EST-SSR markers to 
P.massoniana,
 P.densata, 
P.tabuliformis and 
P.yunnanensis were 81.25%, 81.25%, 75.00% and 93.75%, respectively. These results indicated that it was feasible to develop SSR markers from 
P.kesiya var. 
langbianensis transcriptome sequences. 
P.kesiya var. 
langbianensis EST-SSR markers was highly transferable and polymorphic to its related species. These markers can be used to analyze the genetic relationship between the 
P.kesiya var. 
langbianensis and its related species.
