Abstract:
:The detection of sequence variation with restriction fragment length polymorphisms is advancing our knowledge of plant genetics on several fronts. In the past year, there has been progress in genetic map construction, phylogeny studies, and the dissection of multigenic traits. In addition, new methods that are independent of restriction sites are being developed for polymorphism detection.
