A set of indica cultivars was also included in the collection as a reference of genetic divergence.
In some respects, the classical genetic map of Arabidopsis, which is limited to genes with mutant phenotypes mapped relative to each other, has outlived its usefulness as a reference for genetic analysis.
The consensus map presented here was used as a reference for genetic diversity and mapping analyses in T. durum, providing nearly complete genome coverage and even marker density.
The protocol reported should thus provide a basis for further functional genomic studies of oil metabolism in Chlamydomonas and serve as a reference for genetic screens of oil mutants in other microalgal models such as Nannochloropsis and Chlorella.
The colinearity of the consensus map was well maintained and it is, therefore, sufficiently reliable for use in multiple-line cross QTL mapping experiments and in addition may serve as a reference for genetic maps created from other triticale germplasm.
The locus order on the consensus map was highly conserved among linkage maps and was sufficiently reliable for use as a reference for genetic analysis of random red clover germplasms.
The obtained consensus map can be used as a reference resource for genetic studies in different genetic backgrounds, in addition to providing a framework for transferring genetic information between different marker technologies and for integrating DArT markers with other genomic resources.
> The CKDH linkage map was adopted as the reference genetic linkage map by the MBrGSP.
The Australian Plant DNA Bank holds DNA and associated tissues of small numbers of accessions of the Australian Oryza species (Table 2) as a reference against which genetic change in wild populations could be monitored.
The results can also serve as a reference for the genetic modification of lignocellulosic biomass and enzymes.
