Mullein (Verbascum) plants have extensive distribution and can grow in
variable environmental conditions. Seed was collected from mullein plants
grown at 4 locations, two metals contaminated and two metal uncontaminated
areas. Genetic variability of progeny was examined. Populations collected
from unpolluted areas were genetically more similar than those collected from
polluted areas as revealed by RAPD and SSR markers and UPGMA analysis. The
results indicate that there is genetic differentiation between examined
populations and therefore they represent suitable material for further
investigation of plant adaptation mechanisms to increased metal content.
Keywords: metal tolerance, mullein, RAPD, SSR, UPGMA
