Abstract

A map derived from restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs)i n maize (Zea mays L.) is presented. The map was constructed in an immortalized Tx303 X C0159 FP mapping population that allowed for an unlimited number of markers to be mapped and pooled Fs seed to be distributed to other laboratories. A total of 215 markers consisting of 159 genomic clones, 16 isozymes and 35 cloned geneso f defined function have been placed on 10 chromosomes. An examination of segregation data has revealed several genomic regions with aberrant segregation ratios favoring either parenot r the heterozygote. Mapping of cloned genes and isozymes that have been previously mapped by functional criteria has provided 29 points of alignment with the classical maize genetic map. Screening of all mapped RFLP probes against a collection of U.S. Corn Belt germplasm using EcoRI, Hind111 and EcoRV has resulted in a set of 97 core markers being defined. The designation of a set of core markers allows the maize genome to be subdivided into a series of bins which serve as the backbone for maize genetic information and database boundariesT. he merits and applicationso f core markers v and bins are discussed.
