Abstract: Genetic distance between 5 maize hybrids (crossed with the same female, but different male parents) and their parents were studied by using DNA fingerprint. The result showed that the genetic distance between each hybrid and its real male parent was the minimum one among all the male parents. It is a very useful method to identify the real male parent of maize hybrids by calculating the genetic distance between the hybrid and its all possible male parents.

Key words: DNA fingerprint , Maize, Genetic distance, Parent identification
