In this study a set of eight maize inbred lines were selected so as to analyze the molecular diversity among them using SSR
markers. Six out of ten SSR markers employed revealed polymorphism among the genotypes. Polymorphism information
content (PIC), ranged from 0.34 to 0.75. The lowest PIC (0.34) was shown by the primer pair bnlg1832 while highest PIC
(0.75) was shown by the primer pair bnlg1019. The eight cultivars of maize formed two major clusters in the dendrogram
prepared using the dataset generated by SSR profiles.
