SUMMARY. The genetic diversity of 13 Vincetoxicum Wolf species distributed in Ukraine was investigated using 4 of the 8 nuclear microsatellite markers, previously developed for Vincetoxicum atratum from Japan. The number of alleles ranged from 8 to 25. The expected heterozygosities were 0,690–0,938 and observed ones ranged from 0,205 to 0,806. In general, the level of genetic variation in studied representatives of the genus Vincetoxicum from Ukraine proved to be comparable with that of Vincetoxicum atratum. The microsatellite loci Vinc5, Vinc104, Vinc123, Vinc124 can be successfully used to assess intra- and interspecific polymorphisms of species of the genus Vincetoxicum Wolf in Ukraine.
