An analysis was made of the variability of microsatellite loci of selected trees of the species Malus sylvestris and Malus domestica in the forests of Litovelské Pomoraví and NPR Zástudánčí. In addition, selected seedlings of forest apple trees grown on the site of Sagittaria were analyzed to confirm the purity of the genome and to exclude possible hybridization with domestic apple trees.
The methodology of material collection, molecular analysis, evaluation and interpretation of results is described below.
