Abstract
We will measure the extent of genome collinearity (or synteny) between Arabidopsis thaliana and related crop species of the Brassica genus. Initially, Arabidopsis probes physically mapped on chromosome 4 will be used to establish genetical and physical linkage between homologous Brassica RFLP loci. Discontinuities in synteny and changes in physical/genetical separation will reveal processes of genome evolution at the macro and micro levels. Furthermore, synteny will be exploited to facilitate the cloning of agronomically important Brassica genes (without identified Arabidopsis homologues) by shuttling between the physical and genetic maps of the two genera.
