Aim. The aim of the work was to compare the polymorphism of commercial varieties and populations of B. napus growing outside cultivation to assess the genetic diversity of feral rapeseed populations in Belarus. Methods. The study assessed genetic diversity according to the data of 7 microsatellite loci genotyping. Results. The results indicate a greater genetic diversity in feral oilseed rape populations. An analysis of the structure of the genotypes distribution in the STRUCTURE software showed the division into three clusters – commertial varieties, feral populations and samples of B. rapa. Conclusions. The established genetic divergence between feral populations and commercial varieties indicates that feral oilseed rape is able to maintain persistent populations in Belarus. In practice, this should be taken into account when assessing the environmental risk when transgenic rape is released into the environment. And in the cultivation of transgenic rapeseed, special attention should be paid to measures to prevent the occurrence of its free-growing populations.
