Abstract

The Plant Genetic Map Database (PlantGM) has been developed as a web-based system which provides information about genetic markers in rice (Oryza sativa) and Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa). The database has three major parts and functions; (1) Map Search, (2) Marker Search, and (3) QTL Search. At present, the database provides characterization information for about 3258 genetic markers. It has 2800 RFLP and 112 QTL markers related to rice in addition to 321 RFLP and 25 PCR-based markers for Chinese cabbage. In addition, a genetic linkage map was also constructed by using 1,054 markers from 2,912 markers in rice.
