Five microsatellite loci are presented for prickly acacia, Acacia nilotica ssp. indica (Benth.) Brenan, an introduced weed of national significance in Australia. These microsatellite loci were obtained through the construction of an enriched library and their use will enable us to determine the genetic origin and extent of genetic diversity of this weed in Australia.Keywords : Acacia nilotica ssp. indica, biological control, Mimosaceae, prickly acacia, primers, simple sequence repeats, weed, weed identification
