Abstract This paper presents a first genetic linkage map of the goat genome. Primers derived from the flanking sequences of 612 bovine, ovine and goat microsatellite markers were gathered and tested for amplification with goat DNA under standardized PCR conditions. This screen made it possible to choose a set of 55 polymorphic markers that can be used in the three species and to define a panel of 223 microsatellites suitable for the goat. Twelve half-sib paternal goat families were then used to build a linkage map of the goat genome. The linkage analysis made it possible to construct a meiotic map covering 2300 cM, i.e., >SO% of the total estimated length of the goat genome. Moreover, eight cosmids containing microsatellites were mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization in goat and sheep. Together with 11 microsatellite-containing cosmids previously mapped in cattle (and supposing conservation of the banding pattern between this species and the goat) and data from the sheep map, these results made the orientation of 15 linkage groups possible. Furthermore, 12 coding sequences were mapped either genetically or physically, providing useful data for comparative mapping.

Abstract We report the first extensive ovine genetic linkage map covering 2070 cM of the sheep genome. The map was generated from the linkage analysis of 246 polymorphic markers, in nine three-generation full-sib pedigrees, which make up the AgResearch International Mapping Flock. We have exploited many markers from cattle so that valuable comparisons between these two ruminant linkage maps can be made. The markers, used in the segregation analyses, comprised 86 anonymous microsatellite markers derived from the sheep genome, 126 anonymous microsatellites from cattle, one from deer, and 33 polymorphic markers of various types associated with known genes. The maximum number of informative meioses within the mapping flock was 222. The average number of informative meioses per marker was 140 (range 18-209). Linkage groups have been assigned to all 26 sheep autosomes.

A genetic linkage map was previously constructed for watermelon using a wide testcross population [{Plant Accession Griffin 14113; Citrullus lanatus var. citroides (L.H. Baiely) Mansf.} × the watermelon cultivar New Hampshire Midget; NHM {(Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. lanatus)} × United States Plant Introduction (PI) 386015 {Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad.}]. One-hundred forty-six markers [randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers] unique to NHM and representing different linkage groups on the map were tested for polymorphism among 24 watermelon cultivars limited in genetic diversity. Five (9.4%) of 53 RAPD, six (40.0%) of 15 ISSR, 30 (81.0%) of 37 AFLP, and 33 (80.5%) of 41 SRAP markers tested produced polymorphism among the 24 cultivars. The polymorphic markers used in this study are scattered throughout the watermelon genome. However, a large number (19 of the 30) of AFLP markers clustered on one linkage group on the map. The SRAP markers proved to be most effective in producing polymorphism and in representing different linkage regions of watermelon genome. The polymorphic markers represent all 10 large linkage groups and five of the nine small linkage groups (altogether 15 of 19 linkage groups) of the genetic linkage map constructed so far for watermelon. These polymorphic markers can be useful in DNA fingerprinting of cultivars, in testing seed purity of breeding lines, and in identifying triploid (seedless) hybrid watermelons derived from crosses between closely related tetraploid and diploid lines.

ABSTRACT We have constructed a genetic linkage map of the edible basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus (var. Florida). The map is based on the segregation of 178 random amplified polymorphic DNA and 23 restriction fragment length polymorphism markers; four hydrophobin, two laccase, and two manganese peroxidase genes; both mating type loci; one isozyme locus (est1); the rRNA gene sequence; and a repetitive DNA sequence in a population of 80 sibling monokaryons. The map identifies 11 linkage groups corresponding to the chromosomes ofP. ostreatus, and it has a total length of 1,000.7 centimorgans (cM) with an average of 35.1 kbp/cM. The map shows a high correlation (0.76) between physical and genetic chromosome sizes. The number of crossovers observed per chromosome per individual cell is 0.89. This map covers nearly the whole genome of P. ostreatus.

To lay a foundation for molecular breeding efforts, the first genetic linkage map for Stevia rebaudiana has been constructed using segregation data from a pseudo test-cross F1 population. A total of 183 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were analysed and assembled into 21 linkage groups covering a total distance of 1389 cM, with an average distance between markers of of 7.6 cM. The 11 largest linkage groups consisted of 4-19 loci, ranged in length from 56 to 174 cM, and accounted for 75% of the total map distance. Fifteen RAPD loci were found to be unlinked. From the 521 primers showing amplification products, 185 (35.5%) produced a total of 293 polymorphic fragments, indicating a high level of genetic diversity in stevia. Most of the RAPD markers in stevia segregated in normal Mendelian fashion.Key words: stevia, open-pollinated, genome map, RAPD.

SUMMARYCassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an economically important root crop in Thailand, which is ranked the world's top cassava exporting country. Production of cassava can be hampered by several pathogens and pests. Cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) is an important disease caused by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. manihotis. The pathogen causes severe stem damage resulting in yield reductions and lack of stem cuttings available for planting. Molecular studies of cassava response to CAD will provide useful information for cassava breeders to develop new varieties with resistance to the disease. The current study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) and DNA markers associated with resistance to CAD. A total of 200 lines of two F1 mapping populations were generated by reciprocal crosses between the varieties Huabong60 and Hanatee. The F1 samples were genotyped based on simple sequence repeat (SSR) and expressed sequence tag-SSR markers and a genetic linkage map was constructed using the JoinMap®/version3·0 program. The results showed that the map consisted of 512 marker loci distributed on 24 linkage groups with a map length of 1771·9 centimorgan (cM) and a mean interval between markers of 5·7 cM. The genetic linkage map was integrated with phenotypic data for the response to CAD infection generated by a detached leaf assay test. A total of three QTL underlying the trait were identified on three linkage groups using the MapQTL®/version4·0 program. Those DNA markers linked to the QTL that showed high statistically significant values with the CAD resistance trait were identified for gene annotation analysis and 23 candidate resistance genes to CAD infection were identified.

Aegilops Sharonensis

Aegilops sharonensis (Sharon goatgrass), a diploid wheat relative, is known to be a rich source of disease resistance genes for wheat improvement. To facilitate the transfer of these genes into wheat, information on their chromosomal location is important. A genetic linkage map of Ae. sharonensis was constructed based on 179 F2 plants derived from a cross between accessions resistant (1644) and susceptible (1193) to wheat leaf rust. The linkage map was based on 389 markers (377 Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) and 12 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci) and was comprised of 10 linkage groups, ranging from 2.3 to 124.6 cM. The total genetic length of the map was 818.0 cM, with an average interval distance between markers of 3.63 cM. Based on the chromosomal location of 115 markers previously mapped in wheat, the four linkage groups of A, B, C, and E were assigned to Ae. sharonensis (Ssh) and homoeologous wheat chromosomes 6, 1, 3, and 2. The single dominant gene (designated LrAeSh1644) conferring resistance to leaf rust race THBJ in accession 1644 was positioned on linkage group A (chromosome 6Ssh) and was flanked by DArT markers wpt-9881 (at 1.9 cM distal from the gene) and wpt-6925 (4.5 cM proximal). This study clearly demonstrates the utility of DArT for genotyping uncharacterized species and tagging resistance genes where pertinent genomic information is lacking.

Dactylis Glomerata L

Orchardgrass ( Dactylis glomerata L.), or cocksfoot, is indigenous to Eurasia and northern Africa, but has been naturalized on nearly every continent and is one of the top perennial forage grasses grown worldwide. To improve the understanding of genetic architecture of orchardgrass and provide a template for heading date candidate gene search in this species, the goals of the present study were to construct a tetraploid orchardgrass genetic linkage map and identify quantitative trait loci associated with heading date. A combination of SSR markers derived from an orchardgrass EST library and AFLP markers were used to genotype an F1 population of 284 individuals derived from a very late heading Dactylis glomerata subsp. himalayensis parent and an early to mid-heading Dactylis glomerata subsp. aschersoniana parent. Two parental maps were constructed with 28 cosegregation groups and seven consensus linkage groups each, and homologous linkage groups were tied together by 38 bridging markers. Linkage group lengths varied from 98 to 187 cM, with an average distance between markers of 5.5 cM. All but two mapped SSR markers had homologies to physically mapped rice (Oryza sativa L.) genes, and six of the seven orchardgrass linkage groups were assigned based on this putative synteny with rice. Quantitative trait loci were detected for heading date on linkage groups 2, 5, and 6 in both parental maps, explaining between 12% and 24% of the variation.

We constructed a genetic linkage map of grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.; 2n = 14) from 100 F2 individuals derived from a cross between PI 426891.1.3 and PI 283564c.3.2. A total of 71 RAPD, three isozyme and one morphological markers segregated in the F2 progeny. A small fraction of markers (12%) deviated significantly from the expected Mendelian ratio (1[ratio ]2[ratio ]1 or 3[ratio ]1). Out of 75 markers, 69 (one morphological, three isozyme and 65 RAPD markers) were assigned to 14 linkage groups comprising 898 cM. The average distance between two adjacent markers was 17·2 cM. The present linkage map will serve as a reference point for further linkage studies in grasspea.

Snake River Wheatgrass

Elymus L. is the largest and most complex genus in the Triticeae tribe of grasses with approximately 150 polyploid perennial species occurring worldwide. We report here the first genetic linkage map for Elymus. Backcross mapping populations were created by crossing caespitose Elymus wawawaiensis (EW) (Snake River wheatgrass) and rhizomatous Elymus lanceolatus (EL) (thickspike wheatgrass) to produce F1 interspecific hybrids that were then backcrossed to the same EL male to generate progeny with segregating phenotypes. EW and EL are both allotetraploid species (n = 14) containing the St (Pseudoroegneria) and H (Hordeum) genomes. A total of 387 backcross progeny from four populations were genotyped using 399 AFLP and 116 EST-based SSR and STS markers. The resulting consensus map was 2574 cM in length apportioned among the expected number of 14 linkage groups. EST-based SSR and STS markers with homology to rice genome sequences were used to identify Elymus linkage groups homoeologous to chromosomes 1–7 of wheat. The frequency of St-derived genome markers on each linkage group was used to assign genome designations to all linkage groups, resulting in the identification of the seven St and seven H linkage groups of Elymus. This map also confirms the alloploidy and disomic chromosome pairing and segregation of Elymus and will be useful in identifying QTLs controlling perennial grass traits in this genus.

The first and preliminary genetic linkage map of the jute genome was constructed with RAPD markers using two parents (variety O-9897 and accession no. 1805) and their F2 populations. Linkage analysis at a LOD (Log of odds base 10) score of 3.0 and a maximum distance 50 cM revealed 18 linkage groups. Among the 18 linkage groups, 15 contained single locus and the remaining three groups 16, 17 and 18 contained 2, 11 and 12 loci, respectively. The three multi locus linkage groups varying in length from 15.9 - 241.7 cM, snapped a total length of 463.7 cM with an average marker density of 19.6 cM between adjacent markers. The basic chromosome number of Corchorus spp. is seven (2n = 14), so in saturated map, seven linkage groups should have been obtained to represent the genome. But for linkage group analysis, the effort was very limited and the total number of loci (40) was also low.  Key words: Jute, Linkage map, RAPD, Polymorphism D.O.I 10.3329/ptcb.v18i2.3647 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 18(2): 165-172, 2008 (December)
