| Abstract/Contents: | "Research at the University of Georgia has begun to reveal the repertoire and organization of genes along the chromosomes of bermudagrass, and their relationships to those of well-studied models such as rice. In particular: The bermudagrass genome map is based on analysis of a cross between the two species that have contributed most substantially to today's elite turf cultivars. To date, researchers have screened a total of 665 āDNA probesā to identify a subset of 230 that revealed from 1-7 differences (an average of 1.95) between the parents of the mapping cross. Using these probes, they have determined the arrangements of 449 different genetic loci including 306 from the C. dactylon parent and 143 from the C. transvaalensis parent. With the completion of the consensus map, they will next explore its alignment to the well-mapped genomes of sorghum and maize, and largely-sequenced genome of rice. Although the population is small, they are conducting an exploratory search for DNA markers that are diagnostic of genes related to turf quality. The comparative approach that they describe is primarily of value to work out the similarities among diverse grasses -- they and others are beginning to explore the differences from other grasses for which bermudagrass is prized through de novo sequencing of large numbers of genes from bermudagrass itself. Complete sequencing of the bermudagrass genome would reveal to researchers its entire genetic potential." |
