Phyllodoce aleutica and Phyllodoce caerulea are sympatric alpine-snowbed plants in northern Japan. They compete for pollinators (bumblebees) each other and the competitive situation varies depending on snow conditions. We isolated and characterized eight microsatellite loci in these species. Additionally, one of 13 primers developed for Rhododendron metternichii was available in these species. The expected heterozygosity of these nine markers ranged from 0.06 to 0.93 in P. aleutica and from 0.09 to 0.96 in P. caerulea. These markers may be useful to reveal the mating system evolution, patterns of pollen flow and the process of natural hybridization in these Phyllodoce species.
