RFLP mapping of a coding sequence for rice peroxidase: detection of a locus different from those determined by isozyme analyses

Abstract

RFLP mapping of a cloned peroxidase gene from rice was performed using a F2 population derived from a crossing of an indica ('Kasalath') × a japonica ('FL134'). The peroxidase gene was mapped between two RFLP markers (XNpb373 and XNpb244-2) in the relatively distal region opposite to chl-1 on chromosome 3. It is concluded that this locus of the peroxidase gene is different from the loci determined by isozyme analyses.
