AFLP markers are widely used in breeding in some other crops, but their utilization in breeding of Brassica crops is not so frequent. AFLP markers are used for molecular characterization of particular varieties or genotypes and for evaluation of genetic diversity. The aim of this thesis was the application of this method in breeding of rapeseed and in comparative study of genetic variability of different oil seed rape cultivars of Czech, Czechoslovak and German origin. AFLP is based on selective amplification of genomic DNA. Technique consists of three basic steps: 1. restriction of genomic DNA on smaller fragments and ligation of adaptors; 2. selective amplification of fragments with specific primers and 3. electrophoresis of products and computer analysis (Vos et al., 1995). In this thesis 16 Czech (CZ) and Czechoslovak (CZS) and 16 German (G) cultivars of oilseed rape were compared. Two specific primers, EcoRI AGC and fluorescence labeled primer MseI ACC, were chosen for AFLP method. It was possible to distinguish group of CZ/CZS and G cultivars, which have origin in gene resources from Czech Republic and Germany. AFLP technique allows detection of very small differences in Brassica genome. The differences between studied cultivars exist, but they are not very distinct. They show on certain relationship and reduction of genetic basis of genetic resources, which are used in Central Europe.
