pp. 21-24A comparative study of discriminating capacity of AFLP and SSR markers regarding their effectiveness in establishing genetic relationships among 94 pear genotypes was performed by calculating confusion probability, discriminating power and effective number of patterns per assay unit. The AFLPs analyses produced more polymorphic markers than SSRs. The average discriminating power was very high for AFLPs and a bit lower for SSRs.
Both molecular marker techniques proved their reliability to assess genetic relationships among pear genotypes.
