Jatropha curcas L. (physic nut) is native to Central America and now naturalized widely in many tropical and subtropical areas. Microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized. Eleven out of 55 markers showed polymorphisms, and the allelic variation was investigated using 26 accessions of J. curcas collected from several provinces in Thailand. Each marker showed 2 to 5 alleles and the average polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.49. Thirty four markers (62 %) were also successfully amplified in J. integerrima, J. gossypifolia and J. podagrica.
