Abstract
AFLP™ is one of the most frequently used techniques for identification of molecular markers. We have modified the procedures for genomic DNA extraction, AFLP product generation and silver staining in order to speed up analyses and screen large numbers of plant samples. Using this protocol, we were able to achieve an 82% reduction of costs without compromising the reliability and quality of data gathered.
