基因组学方法在玉米种质资源研究中的应用

近年来，分子生物学和植物基因组学得到了飞速发展，包括分子标记技术在内的基因组学方法在玉米种质资源研究中得到了广泛应用。本将对玉米种质资源研究的主要领域如玉米的起源和进化、遗传多样性的形成机制及评估、基于多样性的新基因发掘等方面的最新进展进行评述，并提出我国在应用基因组学方法进行玉米种质资源研究的策略。

Applications of Genomics Approaches in Studies on Maize Germplasm

In the recent years, great progress has been made in the fields of plant molecular biology and genomics, and genomics approaches including molecular marker techniques have been widely used in studies on maize germplasm. The present paper reviews recent advances in the fields related to maize germplasm including origin and evolution of maize, shaping mechanisms and assessment of genetic diversity, and diversity-based gene discovery etc. Finally, the strategies of research on maize germplasm by the use of genomics approaches are proposed.
