Abstract
The efficient manipulation of genetic material in a breeding or research programme of the forage grasses is dependent upon a knowledge of its genome organisation. The distribution of genetic loci both between and within chromosomes and their linkage relationships may be obtained by examination of populations segregating for the genetic loci of interest. A genetic map of Lolium will be developed using a range of molecular markers such as RFLPs AFLPs RAPDs and isozymes. The syntenic relationship of the Lolium genome to that of the ancestral 'grass genome' will be determined by the use of a set of genetic probes for regulatory genes whose function is maintained and reveal polymorphism across a range of grasses and cereals.
