Abstract

A consortium has been assembled for the long term exploitation of Brassica in the UK. Following discussions amongst the UK Brassica Research Community (UK-BRC) it was decided that a contiguous physical map of the A and C genomes (representing UK Brassica oil and vegetable crops) is the essential first step in provision of resources and services to accelerate identification of gene function. This will provide the focus for future collaborative development and exploitation of results from the related crucifer Arabidopsis. The programme of work consists of construction of BAC contigs anchored to the Brassica genetic maps and the Arabidopsis sequence, with many anchors selected by members of the UK-BRC. A strong component of the programme is focused on promoting interaction and sharing of resources, data and expertise amongst the UK-BRC. (Joint with grants 207/IGF12446, 208/IGF12448, 208/IGF12449 and 86/IGF12450.)
