Cereus is an ornamental cactus, popularly called "mandacaru" in Brazil, cultivated in gardens and in biological preservation areas. The species is ecologically, economically and industrially important due to the great variety of compounds it produces. This current research estimates the transferability of microsatellite markers of other cactus species to "mandacaru" and analyzes the specie's genetic variability establishing a relation of similarity or divergence between different samples grown i
