Until very recently genetic maps of higher plants were based almost
entirely on morphological and biochemical traits. These maps are
rapidly being replaced and/or supplemented with DNA-based marker
maps based on the use of powerful new molecular techniques. The new
high precision maps can be developed with comparative ease and
rapidity. They have a much higher density of markers, which allows
revelation of more and more restricted segments of the genome. One
of the many revolutionary aspects of this technology is that
linkage between molecular markers and traits of interest often can
be detected in a single cross. The ability to hybridize probe after
probe to the DNA of the same individuals of a segregating
population allows one to pursue the analysis until linkage becomes
evident. With morphological and biochemical markers used
previously, a separate cross was required to test linkage with each
new marker. It was seldom that more than three markers could be
tested for linkage with the trait of interest in a single cross
because of viability problems. With the new techniques described in
this volume, a new gene could be placed on the linkage map within a
few days instead of the much longer time required with the previous
techniques. In this book, a group of leading researchers provide
background information and the latest versions of DNA-based marker
maps for a variety of important crops. These maps illustrate the
state of the art today. The progress made during the past five
years has been truly phenomenal.
