The cpSSR method was for the first time used to analyze the plastome in 29 Russian potato Solanum tuberosum cultivars. The informativeness coefficient H and the alleles of the NTCP6, NTCP8, and NTCP9 loci were determined. In total, 14 allelic variants of the microsatellite cpDNA loci were identified. The NTCP8 and NTCP9 cpSSR displayed the greatest allele polymorphism in the cultivars examined. A cultivar-specific haplotype of the chloroplast genome was observed for 20 out of 29 cultivars.
