Abstract

Traditionally, genetic research in crop plants has been focused on individual species. This has led to the development of a wealth of information on and resources in many of the major cereals. Knowledge of the relationships between the genomes of the different cereal crops will allow this information to be exploited across the species boundary. The construction of comparative genetic maps between closely related species within the Triticeae tribe, and between the more distantly related major and minor cereals is a key component of comparative genome research. The establishment of the extent of gene order conservation within the grass family will have important implications for breeding strategies, provide new information on genome evolution and provide new tools for structural genome analyses.
