Title: Joint Meeting of the European Prunus and Apple Genome Mapping Groups, East Mailing, UK, May 1991
Authors: K.R. Tobutt and R.J. Nicoll
Abstract:
A joint meeting of the Prunus and Apple Genome Mapping Groups was held at East
Mailing in May 1991. These two informal groups of workers, from six and seven European institutes respectively, plan to collaborate on constructing genetic maps of molecular markers and agronomic characters in Prunus and in
apple.
There were 14 short reports, of recent progress in isoenzyme linkage studies in Prunus and apple or of DNA techniques useful for FRLP
and RAPD analysis and an account of possible grants for collaborative projects.
Topics discussed included problems of linkage analysis and the different strategies adopted by the two groups, as well as future collaboration.
Proceedings, consisting of abstracts of the presentations
and summaries of the discussions, are available from East Mailing.
An example of the work reported is the first linkage detected in cherry (Prunus avium) between a morphological character, albinism, and a biochemical marker, Gpi-2, the gene coding for glucose phosphate isomerase II.
