title: Application of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for molecular diversity and heterozygosity analysis in maize inbred lines.
abstract: 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.
