Abstract

Comparative genome analyses have demonstrated that gene orders are largely conserved between chromosome regions in different plant species. This is best documented in the grass family, where colinearity has been maintained over evolutionary periods as long as 60 million years (for overview see (1998). This high degree of genome conservation has changed our approach to many aspects of cereal genetics and has led to the promotion of the small rice genome as a model for the economic grass and cereal crops. Already, good genetic and physical maps are available for rice (Kurata et al., 1994; Harushima et al., 1998), about 15,000 ESTs have been deposited in the GenBank database, and an international initiative has started to sequence, within the next 7 years, its 450 Mb genome (http://demeter.bio.bnl.gov/rice.html).
