This award will enable collaborative research between Professor                 Takumi Tsuchiya of Colorado State University and Professor Kozo                 Nishikawa of Gifu University, Japan.  They will use chromosome                  manipulation techniques to study the genetic architecture of                    chromosomes in wheat, barley and rye.  Comparative observations on              the DNA content of individual chromosomes will be made and the                  genes controlling morphological and isozymic traits will be mapped.                                                                                             This research will provide basic information on chromosome                      evolution in cereals.  The research teams headed by Drs. Tsuchiya               and Nishikawa will provide expertise in the cytogenetics of all                 species to be studied.  Colorado State University has excellent                 plant growth facilities and equipment for cytological and genetic               studies for all plant species involved.  Gifu University is                     specially equipped for biochemical and molecular studies with a                 highly sophisticated microspectrophotometer set-up.
