Abstract

Microsatellite primers designed for American and European populations of the white campion and Nottingham catchfly were tested on white campion samples from six Ural populations. It was noted that the loci studied are represented by 2–43 alleles and the average observed heterozygosity varied from 11 to 100%. It was established that 2 of the 14 loci studied can be considered as markers for radiobiological studies.
