Abstract
This project brings together fundamental molecular and informatics technologies for analysing and exploiting genetic resources in perennial grasses and model species, including maize. It focuses on a small number of traits as models for developing and validating the following generic approaches: 1) the identification of genes controlling specific traits (hybridisation/screening); 2) the physical localization of these genes within the genome and mechanistic analysis of higher-order and fine-scale genome organization (molecular cytogenetics, physical and genetic mapping); 3) gene isolation and function (BAC libraries/ Mutator grid); 4) development of bioinformatics tools and resources for data integration, storage, dissemination and analysis.
