Research results on unified genomic maps is presented in light of
validation in marker-assisted selection and the most questionable challenge,
map-based cloning. The use of older vs. younger-tree QTL in woody
perennials, potential problems presented by QTL validation in existing
pedigrees and a new method for exploring the interface between physical and
genetic map in conifers are discussed.
