abstract: Cereals are widely cultivated and produce annually, 1800 to 1900 million
tonnes of food grains worldwide (see Table 1; FAO- website
http://apps.fao.org). Cereals also represent 60% of the calories and proteins
consumed by human beings. They include a variety of crops including rice,
maize, wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc., but excluding millets like pearl millet
and other minor millets. In the past, cereals have been a subject of intensive
cytogenetic investigations that are now extended further in the genomics era
using powerful tools of molecular biology. The progress in cereal genomics
research during the last two decades, involving the use of molecular markers
for a variety of purposes, and the whole genome sequencing in rice has been
remarkable indeed. The results of genomics research resolved many aspects,
which the conventional cytogenetics failed to resolve. For instance, this
involved initially the preparation of molecular maps, which were utilized
extensively for....
