description: Cereals provide for our major food crops, and therefore have been a subject  of detailed genetic and cytogenetic studies during major part of the last  century. These studies led to the preparation of linkage maps, which were  also assigned to individual chromosomes, thus leading to the construction of  chromosome maps in all major cereals. In some cases, the availability of  cytogenetic stocks (e.g. deletion stocks in bread wheat) also allowed  construction of physical maps. In the past, a major limitation in the  construction of genetic maps has been the non-availability of mutants for  majority of individual genes, so that only handful of genes could be mapped.  However, during 1980s, the availability of molecular markers and the high  level of DNA polymorphism, which they detect, led to renewed emphasis on  genetic and physica........
