Abstract

1.The physical structure of the genome is inherently linked to its functioning. Through this programme we intend to use the very latest methods of molecular biology to carry out a detailed examination of the physical structure of the maize genome. This will be a accomplished via the use of YACs and BACs in conjunction with techniques such as Repetitive hybridisation fingerprinting. 2.Functional genomics is the new buzz work in plant biotechnology. Through the use of a maize Mutator grid and several novel screening systems we hope to play a leading role in this important development. Via this technology we hope to examine several interesting developmental systems include; the disease mimic phenotype and grain filling. This will be achieved through both in house" work, competitive grants and links with industry. Enabling technologies for physical and functional genomics in crops of agricultural importance 1998 To develop a coherent strategy for the development of the tools for both physical and functional genomics via in house and outside collaborations."
