RESUMO
Genetic linkage maps have been constructed for the rice and maize genomes on the basis of orthologous loci detected with a common set of cDNA clones. Conserved linkage groups could be identified, which together account for more than two-thirds of both genomes. In some instances, entire chromosomes or chromosome arms are nearly identical with respect to gene order and gene content. The results also reveal that most of the genes (> 72%) duplicated during ancient polyploidization are still present in the maize genome in duplicate copy. The comparative maps of rice and maize provide a basis for interpreting molecular, genetic, and breeding information between these two important species and establish a framework for ultimately connecting the genetics of all grass species.
