RESUMO
Informativo DNA fingerprint profiles of eight homozygotic maize lines were obtained by the electrophoretic separation of DNA restriction fragments and the ir hybridization with the minisatellite probe R18.1. The analysis of the bandsharing frequencies allowed to identify all the lines and to estimate the genetic distances between them. The relationship obtained by DNA fingerprinting analysis of the eight inbreed lines was highly consistem with the ir genetical origin.
Perfis altamente informativos de oito linhagens homozigotas de milho foram obtidos através de análise de DNA fingerprinting, hibridizando-se os fragmentos de restrição com a sonda minisatélite R18,1. A análise de bandas coincidentes permitiu identificar todas as linhagens e estimar as distâncias genéticas entre elas. A relação entre as linhagens obtidas por esta análise é consistente com a origem genética das mesmas.
