The development of effective approaches for ecological monitoring of Baikal Siberia becoming more important mainly because of unique plant species occurring in this region. The present study was aimed to find the effective molecular markers for estimation of genetic variation in model species. The results are important for evaluation of the relict biota in Baikal Siberia. The paper presents results of estimation of genetic variety in two relict plant species Anemone baicalensis Turcz. and Eranthis sibirica DC. on data of several genetic markers ( ITS1 , ITS2 , rps12-rpl20 , psbA-trnH ).
