David Hoisington and Ed Coe will receive funds to continue                 and expand collaborative research aimed at producing an integrated              physical and genetic map of maize.  They will use genetic mapping               strategies of several types to identify and correlate the                       positions of RFLP markers, cytological markers (knobs, deletions,               insertions and inversions), biochemical markers (mutations                      responsible for isozymes) and other, conventional markers.                      Although a substantial amount of positional information for these               various types of markers is now available, relatively little has                been done to correlate the map of cytological markers with that of              the biochemical ones, the RFLP map with the cytological map and so              on.  Particular focus is placed on the newly developed technique                of RFLP mapping because the map is not yet complete, and because                no single lab has yet assembled a complete set of RFLP marker DNAs              that are available to all researchers.  Since the effort will                   require collaboration with other corn geneticists, especially                   those skilled in the identification of biochemical markers, small               concurrent awards are being made to investigators at Illinois                   State University, Iowa State and North Carolina State.  These                   funds will provide laboratory equipment that will facilitate                    analysis and comparison of data developed in the separate labs and              will insure that research materials developed by each investigator              will be readily accessible to all the collaborators.                                 Traditionally, techniques for genetic mapping have been a                  useful tool for researchers interested in a variety of basic                    questions in biology as well as for plant and animal breeders.                  The recent development of a powerful new technique called RFLP                  mapping will have a significant effect on the ease with which                   genetics can be brought to bear on both basic and applied                       problems.  However, it is important that the knowledge and tools                of the more traditional techniques be preserved and that they be                integrated (or correlated) with the new RFLP maps.  This is                     particularly true in the case of corn, which has been the subject               of extensive genetic study.  The proposed collaborative research                will accelerate the development of a complete RFLP map of corn and              will insure that the map is a tool available to all researchers                 and agronomists.  Moreover, by facilitating the integration of the              RFLP data with that obtained with other types of genetic markers,               the research will insure that the RFLP map is of maximum utility                for those who need it.
