| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses mapping of the bermudagrass genome. States that the genetic maps "were produced based on analysis of a cross between two bermudagrass species, Cynodon dactylon and Cynodon transvaalensis." Reports that "the map of Cynodon dactylon, a tetraploid (i.e. with four sets of chromosomes) is based on 189 DNA markers...The map of Cynodon transvaalensis, a diploid (with just two sets of chromosomes) is based on 77 DNA markers." States that "the genetic maps provide bermudagrass researchers with the means to identify diagnostic DNA markers for important traits that differ among cultivars or breeding lines." Also states that bermudagrass' "genetic map also will allow bermudagrass researchers to benefit from rapid advances in understanding the functions of specific genes in the genomes of fully-sequenced cereals, such as rice and sorghum." Suggests that "DNA-based genetic maps contribute...an important dimension to bermudagrass improvement. By taking greater advantage of rapidly advancing knowledge of gene functions in cereal models, such as rice and sorghum, bermudagrass improvement likely will be accelerated and empowered to tackle previously interactable problems." Concludes that "greater investments in bermudagrass improvements might be justified by DNA-based genetic quality-control testing, assuring that both the industry and its customers reap the expected benefits of accelerated genetic improvements." |
