There is an important role of understanding the genetic diversity among and within inbred lines at the molecular level for maize improvement in different breeding programs. The present study was devoted to estimate the level of genetic diversity among the inbred lines of maize using the simple sequence repeat analysis (SSR). The application of six different SSR markers successfully provided the information on similarity or diversity as well as the heterozygosity of the allelic loci for all the eight inbred line of maize.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
