Description
Summary:Purity control and genetically characterization of maize inbred lines and hybrids have great importance in every phase of experimental or commercial hybrid seed production and inbred maintenance. Embryo proteins as genetic markers for maize genotypic identification as well as genetic purity determination were used. By electrophoresis embryo proteins have been separated into numerous components and showed great heterogeneity. All analyzed genotypes have specific protein pattern. Some of protein fraction appeared for each genotype at the same position and could be use as reference bands. The differences of protein complex among various maize variet­ies could be use to detect relationship between hybrids and their parental lines. The method is rapid, cheap and date can be use to form genetically identification card of inbred lines and hybrids. .
