Description Cereals provide for our major food crops, and therefore have been a subject
of detailed genetic and cytogenetic studies during major part of the last
century. These studies led to the preparation of linkage maps, which were
also assigned to individual chromosomes, thus leading to the construction of
chromosome maps in all major cereals. In some cases, the availability of
cytogenetic stocks (e.g. deletion stocks in bread wheat) also allowed
construction of physical maps. In the past, a major limitation in the
construction of genetic maps has been the non-availability of mutants for
majority of individual genes, so that only handful of genes could be mapped.
However, during 1980s, the availability of molecular markers and the high
level of DNA polymorphism, which they detect, led to renewed emphasis on
genetic and physica........
