Abstract
Yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) libraries are becoming widely used for the construction of long-range physical maps and for map-based cloning [ 1–6]. In plants, YAC libraries are now available for Arabidopsis, barley, carrot, maize, rice and tomato [7–14]. Recently, map-based cloning projects using YAC libraries have been successful in isolating several plant genes that were known only by their phenotype [15–18]. Detailed analysis of individual YACs is likely to provide new insights into the way repeated sequences and transcribed regions are organized in plant genomes.
