The project proposed is addressed to an analysis of the crossover               distribution in tomato plant anther cells by mapping the                        distribution of recombination nodules associated with the                       synaptonemal complexes at late pachytene stage of meiosis. This                 will be done using a hypotonic bursting technique developed by                  the Investigator. The recombination nodule map will then be                     converted to a physical map of recombination along each                         synaptonemal complex, correlated with available gene linkage                    maps.  Subsequently the information will be transferred to                      pachytene chromosomes.  The project should provide accurate                     mapping of genes and provide further insight into chromosome                    crossover.  The project  has the potential to yield important                   information in the area of   cytogenetics that will be of use to                plant breeders.
