title: Mapping in plants: progress and prospects.
abstract: Comprehensive genetic maps are now available for all of the world's important crop species. Data show a remarkable conservation of order of markers over family-wide taxonomic groupings and illuminate species relationships and mechanisms of genome evolution. Comparison of genetic and physical maps has revealed differences in genetic distance throughout genomes with implications for genome organization, gene isolation and transformation.
