THE SEMI-DWARF GENE, sd-1, OF RICE: (ORYZA SATIVA L.) CONSTRUCTION OF A RICE YAC LIBRARY FOR MAP BASED CLONING

摘要

Map based cloning is defined as the isolation of a gene based on its position on a genetic map and often includes four basic elements: target gene mapping; physical mapping; chromosome walking; and gene identification. Current studies are focused on the isolation of a semi-dwarf gene (sd-1) in rice as a model system for map based gene cloning.
