Current status of genome mapping in the Triticeae
(Types of Triticeae maps, types of markers used)

Gary Hart
Texas A&M Univ, USA

10:45

Practical impact of the Triticeae genome maps
(Review of extent of mapping of major categories of genes:

SESSION TWO-Synthesis

11:15

Patterns of crossing-over and recombination in Triticeae genomes
(Review of current understanding of the distribution of cross-overs across
chromosomes and potential causes, i.e., distance from the centromere,
telomere, interference, effects of heterochromatin, NORs, etc.)

genomes)

1:50

Organization of cereal chromosomes as based on evidence from genetic and deletion maps
(Discussing gene distribution and its significance for gene cloning
prospects and its impact on linkage and deletion maps)

Bikram Gill
Kansas State Univ
Kansas, USA

2:25

Impact of recombination on genetic variation
(Evidence for the relationship between genetic variation and recombination
across chromosomes in inbreeding and outbreeding and the relationship
among mating systems, recombination, and species of Aegilops
and Triticum global amount of genetic variability in species)
