[Analysis of genetic variation in rare endemic species Oxytropis chankaensis Jurtz. (Fabaceae) using RAPD markers].

The method of polymerase chain reaction with random primers (RAPD) was used to assess genetic variation and population differentiation in the rare endemic plant Oxytropis chankaensis Jurtz. (Fabaceae). DNA samples from plants of two isolated populations were compared at 133 loci detected by use of ten primers.
