Optimization of PCR amplification of maize microsatellite loci
Maize (Zea mays L.) microsatellite loci are useful as genetic markers because they are numerous, occur in every chromosome, and have a high content of polymorphism information. Furthermore, they can be amplified by PCR and the resulting fragments resolved on agarose gels. A major problem, however, i...
