SUMMARY. Local alignment of Wx gene and its homolog sequences has been conducted. Phylogenetic dendrogram displaying evolutionary relationship between Poaceae members has been built basing on results of the alignment. Ancient Wx gene transfer from Zea mays to Dimeria lawsonii has been assumed. Primers for the exons 8–10 polymorphic region have been designed. In silico PCR has been conducted.
Keywords: gene Wx, maize, bioinformatic analysis
