Sažetak
Taxonomy of the genus Quercus L. is very complicated and often controversial because of its great variability and intense gene flow among related species. Some taxonomists are of the opinion that the Quercus pubescens Willd. is divided into several species, whereas the others think such differences do not exist. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationships and taxonomic status of Croatian populations of the Q. pubescens s.l. using RAPD-PCR technique. Different taxa within Q. pubescens s.l. in Croatia could not be differentiated by use of RAPD technique. Instead of that two groups of populations were noticed: the northern and the southern and a transitional population between them. The obtained results were compared to the already available studies on these species as well as closely related species. The conclusion is that northern Croatian populations differentiate from the southern ones because of possible introgression of the species Q. petrea into a genome of those populations.
