The application of modern methods of genetic mapping using RFLP and PCR technologies allowed to advance essentially in construction of rye genome genetic maps and mapping of some morphological and breeding-valuable genes. Genetic mapping of cereal genomes, such as rye, wheat, maize and rice using common set of DNA-probes permitted to reveal considerable evolutionary conservation in gene organization and localization. This allows to use more effectively method of comparative mapping for fast localization and tagging of genes in genomes of less investigated species.
