Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite markers have become one of the most popular tools for germplasm characterization, population genetics and evolutionary studies. To investigate the mutational mechanisms of maize microsatellites, nucleotide sequence information was obtained for ten loci. In addition, Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) analysis was conducted to assess the occurrence of size homoplasy. Sequence analysis of...
