Introduction
Cytological maps represent the location and order of markers along the chromosomes in relation to structures such as centromeres, telomeres, secondary constrictions (if any), and knobs among others. Such maps are created by microscopic determination of the position of visible structures (or "markers") in fixed and stained chromosomes. These cytological maps are essential to relate genetic loci and molecular sequences to morphological features of chromosomes (Fransz et al. 2000; Cheng et al. 2001). In fact, cytological maps have been most useful in relating and orienting genetic linkage groups on individual chromosomes in crops such as maize (Burnham ...
