Molecular Cytogenetic Maps Using Cytogenetic Stocks
Through a study of linkage of molecular marker loci with morphological or biochemical (isozymes) markers having known chromosome location, it was possible to locate molecular marker loci not only on specific chromosomes, but also on specific regions of these chromosomes. For this purpose, nullisomictetrasomic lines (in wheat), monosomics (in cotton, maize), trisomics (in barley and rice) and various available translocations (in cotton) or deletion stocks (in wheat), were utilized. This resulted in the preparation of molecular chromosome maps for all major crops.
