A.  aMolecular mapping of forage grasses.  c1998  aProceedings of a Symposium in Indianapolis, 6 Nov. 1996.  aAbstract: Mapping of forage grasses using molecular markers is occurring for several different species; however, mapping of forage grasses lags behind that of many other crop plants. It is important that mapping occur for forage grasses as it is expected to provide insights into the organization and evolution of plant genomes. This is important for forage grasses because most o the species are highly polyploid. Molecular maps can provide information on assaying genetic variation within a species. In addition, important genes for desirable traits can be localize by linkage analysis, cloned on the basis of a linkage map, and transformed to produce improved cultivars. It is also hoped that well developed linkage maps can identify useful quantitative trait loci that could be used in marker-assisted selection for forage grass improvement.  aForage grasses  aGenetic markers  aGenetic variation  aMarker-assisted selection  aBiologia Molecular  aGramínea Forrageira  aMarcador Genético  aMarcador Molecular  aCellular technologies  aCrop science  aCytology  aForage improvement  aMolecular technologies1 aCHEN, C.  tIn: BRUMER, E.
