Abstract

This article presents the results of population-genetic analysis in four populations of Tanacetum vulgare (typical tansy) from Southern Siberia on the basis of the Randomly Amplified DNA Fingerprints (RAF). We used RAF to find certain molecular-genetic differences between the typical tansy and the northern tansy. Since the present results did not show any clear differences between the typical tansy and the northern tansy at species level, we suggest that T. vulgare includes two subspecies: the typical T. vulgare subsp. vulgare and T. vulgare subsp. boreale.
