View larger version (59K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1 Mean genetic similarity (GS) calculated from AFLP data of eight AFLP primer combinations for 23 European flint (A) and 25 European dent (B) inbred lines to unrelated (f = 0) lines from each heterotic group. White and solid bars refer to the mean GS in combination with lines from the same heterotic group and the opposite heterotic group, respectively. The overall mean GS for unrelated line combinations within and between heterotic groups is indicated by dashed and solid lines, respectively. CI = confidence interval

European flint and dent lines, and lines of mixed origin are designated by triangles, squares and crosses, respectively. PC1 and PC2 = first and second principal coordinates

View larger version (21K): [in a new window]   Fig. 3 Genetic similarity (GS) based on eight AFLP primer combinations as a function of coancestry (f) for 88 related (f > 0.0) pairs of flint (A) and 54 related pairs of dent (B) lines. GSEXP refers to the expected genetic similarity based on Eq. [3] and GSREG refers to the linear regression of GS on f. +: line combinations with D44
