RFLP Mapping in Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea)

摘要

RFLP linkage maps are useful for studying genome organization and tagging genes of agronomic importance. In the genus Brassica, linkage maps have been constructed in B. oleracea (1, 2), 5. campestris (3, 4) and in B. napus (5). We have initiated molecular mapping in Indian mustard (B. juncea), considering its importance as an edible oil source in India. Construction of a partial linkage map of this crop is presently reported.
