Comparative mapping of plant genomes has shown that the organization of genes remains highly conserved over long evolutionary periods. Construction of a plant genetic map and a physical map has provided the bases for comparative mapping of a plant. Here we introduced the progresses in comparative mapping of plant genomes. Key words: genetic map; physical map; comparative map *Corresponding author, E-mail: qin_rui@hotmail.com |
