The variability of five fragments of chloroplast DNA (ASq, CDq, TFq, trnH-psbA, and trnK-matK) with a total length of more than 10 000 bp in three species of roburoid oaks of the Crimean-Caucasian region (Q. robur, Q. petraea, and Q. pubescens) has been studied. A total of 11 haplotypes were found in 290 individuals from 20 populations, ten of which differed from the haplotypes of the main range. The results show a pronounced structure of the geographical distribution of haplotypes in roburoid o
