[Molecular markers in genetic and selection studies of maize]
Abstract
The review represents the literature data and the data of personal research demonstrating the modern achievements in molecular-genetic analysis of maize (Zea mays L.). The importance of the use of DNA-technologies in genetics, breeding and seed-production of maize is shown. The examples of application of molecular-genetic markers in breeding process to increase its efficacy are demonstrated.
