Popis: The genetic relationship between inbreds i and j can be estimated from pedigree or from molecular marker data. The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine whether pedigree, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) data give similar estimates of parental contribution and coefficient of coancestry (f ij ) among a set of maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds, and (2) compare the usefulness of RFLP and SSR markers for estimating genetic relationship. We studied 13 maize inbreds with known pedigrees. The inbreds were genotyped using 124 RFLP and 195 SSR markers. For each type of marker, parental contributions were estimated from marker similarity among an inbred and both of its parents, and were subsequently used to estimate f ij . Estimates of parental contribution differed significantly (α
