Abstract

Genomic sciences underpins all technologies for the use of plants for food and industrial use as witnessed by the research investment world-wide (e.g. USA invests $200 million/year). The project provides markers for traits, methods and tools for isolating genes, reveals distribution of recombination and provides a framework for collating all the information generated from cereal genetical research. For these reasons, it underpins the fields of cereal genetics and gene expression and therefore has an all pervading influence on most fields of cereal biological research. A current objective of the project is to use the technology developed, including the use of the rice genome as a tool for chromosome walking in other cereal genomes, to clone and understand the function of the genes controlling pairing and recombination in wheat, and thereby understand the molecular basis of wheat breeding.
