Abstract
Knowledge of genetic diversity and relationships among maize inbred lines is indispensable to a breeding program. Our objective was to investigate the level of genetic diversity among maize inbred lines. Eighty-three maize inbred lines obtained from SCDA Turda were genotyped using 20 decamer primers. These primers generated, among the studied genotypes, a number of polymorphic bands comprised between 17 bands (OPA 03) and 7 bands (OPAB 11). The highest numbers of polymorphic bands were obtained with primer OPA 03, respectively 17 bands, followed by OPA 01, OPB 08 (16 polymorphic bands) and OPX 03 and OPAL 20 (13 polymorphic bands). Genetic distances were established using Nei Li/Dice coefficent and an UPGMA dendrogram was constructed with FreeTree software. The built dendrogram shows phylogenetic relationships between the analysed biological material.
