AFLP i SSR - systemy markerowe przydatne w hodowli roslin

A number of PCR-based methods can be used to detect the polymorphisms in plants. In this article three molecular techniques were compared: RAPD, AFLP and SSR. The marker generating procedures of two systems, AFLP and SSR, were described in details. Advantages and disadvantages each of them and their usefulness in plant breeding projects were discussed. Finally, hitherto applications of AFLP and SSR marker polymorphism analyses for genetical investigations of plants were reviewed.
