Comparison of RAPD, RFLP, AFLP and SSR markers for diversity studies in tropical maize inbred lines

In order to compare their relative efficiencies as markers and to find the most suitable marker for maize diversity studies we evaluated 18 inbred tropical maize lines using a number of different loci as markers. The loci used were: 774 amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs); 262 random amp...
