“…These features, coupled with their ease of detection, make them ideal for identifying and distinguishing between accessions that are genetically very similar (Saker et al, 2005). For the analysis of genetic diversity of maize genotypes were used several dominant molecular markers: amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) (Roy and Kim, 2016), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) (Balážová et al, 2016;Vivodík et al, 2017a), start codon targeted (SCoT) (Vivodík et al, 2017b), inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) (Žiarovská et al, 2013) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) (Abd El-Azeem et al, 2015). And codominant molecular markers were also used for the analysis of maize genotypes: simple sequence repeat (SSR) (Shiri et al, 2014), expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSR (Galvão et al, 2015) and using protein markers (SDS-PAGE) (Vivodík et al, 2017c).…”
