Abstract

Ten maize inbred lines belonging to four source populations were analyzed for polymorphism using a total of 40 microsatellite or Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers. Unique alleles differentiating the inbred lines could be identified. Cluster analysis based on SSR data revealed genetic relationships among inbred lines partially congruent with their pedigree and breeding history. Breeding strategy for handling component lines of different source populations as well as advancement of the available elite lines is proposed based on the present study.
