The research, which was conducted from February to June 2011, was divided into field and laboratory research for molecular analysis. The molecular analysis was conducted at the Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Brawijaya University Malang. The field trial was done in Kandat, Junrejo, Batu. Materials of the research were 35 genotypes of maize. Steps for molecular analysis included: (1) DNA isolation, (2) DNA-quality test, (3) PCR SSR, and (4) Visualization of the amplification result. The field trial was done by planting genotypes using a RCBD with 2 replications. Result of the dendogram analysis showed that 35 genotypes of maize were divided into 2 main clusters, A and B, that having 35% similarity level. Result for the analysis of variance showed significant difference among genotypes of maize on the entire of the observed phenotype characters. Heritability (H) ranged from 61.8% to 98.1%. Coefficient of variance ranged from 0.71 to 7.20%. Analysis on the genotypic correlation ranged from 0.06 to 1.0. Numbers of rows per ear showed significant correlation, in which Jaccard¡¯s similarity coefficient (rs) = +0.43. %K genetic diversity %K phenotype %K molecular %K inbred line %K maize %U http://agrivita.ub.ac.id/index.php/agrivita/article/view/149
