using isozymes of 5 polymorphic loci the frequency of mutations and mutation- like events in populations of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in South Urals (Russia) were studied. The frequency of rare electrophoretic variants of isozymes is shown to be significantly higher in 2 populations growing under industrial air pollution conditions (p=5.0 x 10 hoch-3 and p=5.2 x 10 hoch-3) than that of the control (1.6 x 10 hoch-4).
