Euterpe edulis is the species of palm found in the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado gallery forest that yields the best heart of palm. A battery of 18 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers was developed from an enriched genomic library. Using fluorescence automated detection an average of 10.6 alleles per locus were found on a sample of 66 individuals sampled from a natural population. These loci allow extremely precise paternity testing, estimation of gene flow and of parentage coefficients among trees in the wild.
