• Premise of the study: Tetranucleotide microsatellite markers were developed for the first time in Pinus massoniana Lamb. to facilitate studies of population and conservation biology in this species. • Methods and Results: Ten tetranucleotide microsatellite primer pairs were developed using dual suppression PCR. Seven, six, and eight of the primer pairs exhibited cross‐species transferability to P. thunbergii , P. densiflora , and P. luchuensis , respectively. The number of alleles ranged from 1 to 31 per locus across four pine species. • Conclusions: Considering its advantage over dinucleotide microsatellites in generating fewer artifacts arising from stutter bands, this tetranucleotide microsatellite panel will facilitate future population and conservation biological studies in P. massoniana . Six to eight markers can also be used in studies of three congeneric species.
