Genetic mapping of wheat, maize, and rice and other grass species with common DNA
probes has revealed remarkable conservation of gene content and gene order over the 60 …

Genetic linkage maps have been constructed for the rice and maize genomes on the basis
of orthologous loci detected with a common set of cDNA clones. Conserved linkage groups …

Comparative genetic mapping has indicated that the grass family (Poaceae) exhibits
extensive chromosomal collinearity. In order to investigate microcollinearity in these …

Recent results from genome mapping and intergeneric sexual hybridization experiments
have shown that grasses are morphologically well-differentiated from other families and are …

Ten years ago, with the advent of comparative mapping, a new tool became available to
plant geneticists. Comparative genome analyses demonstrated that gene orders among …

The genomes of grasses are very different in terms of size, ploidy level and chromosome
number. Despite these significant differences, it was found by comparative mapping that the …

Over the last 10,000 years, crop domestication has been the single most important human
cultural development. Grasses are prominent among these crops, and provide the vast …

The grasses, members of the family Gramineae or Poaceae, are represented by over 10,000
species (Kellogg and Birchler 1993). Three of the domesticated grasses, rice, wheat, and …

For the most part, studies of grass genome structure have been limited to the generation of
whole-genome genetic maps or the fine structure and sequence analysis of single genes or …
