SUMMARY. Based on the analysis of the polymorphism of the length of the first intron of the β-tubulin genes, the difference between two subspecies of mistletoe (V. album spp. austriacum (Wiesb.) and V. album ssp. album L.) was shown. The possibility of using the TBP analysis to determine the sex of mistletoe plants is also shown. It was possible to isolate individual genotypes of white mistletoe based on the results of the SSR analysis. When assessing the effectiveness of using two types of DNA markers, it was shown that TBP analysis is advisable to differentiate between different subspecies of mistletoe, and SSR analysis is used to study genotypic variability within a particular subspecies.
Keywords: Viscum album L., DNA marker, SSR-, TВР-analysis
