Sažetak
Portugal, by its priviledge historical and geographical position as enter point of new species in Europe, was among the first European nations to adopt maize (Zea mays L.) in its agricultural systems, more than five centuries ago. The traditional Portuguese maize landraces maintaned at the Portuguese Plant Germplasm Bank (BPGV), represent a source of valuable genes for introduction into modern cultivars. Knowledge of germplasm diversity is crucial for planning crosses in line development, plant variety protection and conservation management. The purposes of this work were to assess, with microsatellite (SSR) DNA molecular markers, the genetic diversity among maize Portuguese breeders inbred lines and compare this with world wide representatives.
