Table 1 - Some Observations from Plant Genome I
Investigator Species Observations
J. Bennetzensorghum/maizeLow copy sequences; cross hybridize; same number
M. Galewheat/ryeMaps very similar; 7 translocations, 11 break-points found
J. Gustafson
G. Moore
wheat/rye
barley/rice
Considerable synteny for cereals in RFLP maps
G. Moorewheat/riceMarkers cross-hybridize; signigicant micro-synteny
A. D'Hontmaize/
sugarcane
High degree of synteny
G. KingBrassica/
Arabidopsis
85% conservation of homologous exons
M. LeeSorghum/Maize80% of linked sorghum markers were also linked in maize
N. Weedenpea/lentil/
chickpea
Significant conservation but not as high as maize/rice
S. Tanksleytomato/potato/
pepper
5 chromosomal inversions distinguish potato-tomato
S. Tanksleymaize/wheat/
rice
Rice chromosome 4 like wheat chromosomes 2 and maize 2S without major rearrangements
S. Tanksleymaize/rice70% rice single copy cDNA conserved in maize; synteny retained for whole and partial chromosomes
