Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) (2n = 2x = 16) and Fagopyrum homotropicum (2n = 2x = 16) were mated in an interspecific cross and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) linkage maps were constructed by analyzing segregation in the F2 population. Six hundred and sixty-nine bands were identified using 20 AFLP primer combinations, of which 462 (69%) segregated in the F2 population. The map of F. esculentum has eight linkage groups with 223 markers covering a total of 508.3 cM. The map of F. homotropicum has eight linkage groups with 211 markers covering 548.9 cM. There was one to one correspondence of the esculentum and homotropicum linkage groups. Three morphological markers, distylous self-incompatibility, shattering habit, and winged seed, were located on the AFLP map. Distylous self-incompatibility and shattering habit are tightly linked to each other (1.3 cM) and are located near the center of linkage group 1. Winged seed is located on linkage group 4. Key words: common buckwheat, AFLP, linkage analysis, distylous self-incompatibility, shattering habit.

Abstract The silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) is a lepidopteran insect with a long history of significant agricultural value. We have constructed the first amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genetic linkage map of the silkworm B. mori at a LOD score of 2.5. The mapping AFLP markers were genotyped in 47 progeny from a backcross population of the cross no. 782 × od100. A total of 1248 (60.7%) polymorphic AFLP markers were detected with 35 PstI/TaqI primer combinations. Each of the primer combinations generated an average of 35.7 polymorphic AFLP markers. A total of 545 (44%) polymorphic markers are consistent with the expected segregation ratio of 1:1 at the significance level of P = 0.05. Of the 545 polymorphic markers, 356 were assigned to 30 linkage groups. The number of markers on linkage groups ranged from 4 to 36. There were 21 major linkage groups with 7-36 markers and 9 relatively small linkage groups with 4-6 markers. The 30 linkage groups varied in length from 37.4 to 691.0 cM. The total length of this AFLP linkage map was 6512 cM. Genetic distances between two neighboring markers on the same linkage group ranged from 0.2 to 47 cM with an average of 18.2 cM. The sex-linked gene od was located between the markers P1T3B40 and P3T3B27 at the end of group 3, indicating that AFLP linkage group 3 was the Z (sex) chromosome. This work provides an essential basic map for constructing a denser linkage map and for mapping genes underlying agronomically important traits in the silkworm B. mori L.

A molecular map of wheat, Triticum aestivum, is being developed. Problems associated with the large genome size, the large number of linkage groups, polyploidy, and limited polymorphism at the DNA level are being overcome. In addition to the breeding applications expected from the map, various uses for restriction fragment length polymorphism markers as tools in cytogenetic manipulation of wheat chromosomes and those from related species are being found. These include identification of aneuploid genotypes, added precision in intervarietal chromosome manipulations, tests of chromosome stability, identification of alien chromosomes, and marker-aided introgression of genes of agronomic importance from related species.Key words: wheat, restriction fragment length polymorphism, genetic maps, aneuploidy, alien chromosomes.

Molecular markers linked to quantitative trait loci conditioning tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) were identified in oat (Avena sativa) using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Near-isogenic and recombinant inbred lines (NILs and RILs, respectively) derived from a cross of Clintland64 (BYDV-sensitive) and IL86-5698 (BYDV-tolerant) were evaluated for their responses to an Illinois isolate of the PAV strain of BYDV. Individual markers identified in the analysis of the NILs explained up to 35% of the variability seen in the tolerance response. Single-point analysis of the marker data from the RIL population identified 24 markers in three linkage groups that were associated with tolerance to BYDV infection at P ≤ 0.001. These markers defined three major loci, A, C, and E, that were contributed by the tolerant parent (IL86-5698) and explained 35.0, 20.6, and 17.0% of the variability, respectively. Three minor loci G, H1, and R) were identified at P ≤ 0.01. These loci were contributed by the sensitive parent (Clintland64) and explained 5.8, 5.6, and 5.6% of the variability, respectively. Interval analysis showed that only the loci A, C, and E are associated significantly with BYDV tolerance at log of the likelihood ratio ≥ 3.0. These loci explained about 50% total of the variation in BYDV tolerance in multimarker regression analysis in both years. The BYDV tolerance loci A, C, E, and R were mapped to hexaploid oat restriction fragment length polymorphism linkage groups 2, 8, 36, and 5, respectively, by analyzing the segregation of the AFLP markers in the Kanota × Ogle RIL population.

Verticillium longisporum is one of the major pathogens of oilseed rape (Brassica napus; genome AACC, 2n = 38) in Europe. Current European cultivars possess only a low level of resistance against V. longisporum, meaning that heavy infection can cause major yield losses. The aim of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance against V. longisporum as a starting point for marker-assisted breeding of resistant cultivars. Resistance QTL were localized in a segregating oilseed rape population of 163 doubled haploid (DH) lines derived by microspore culture from the F1 of a cross between two B. napus breeding lines, one of which exhibited V. longisporum resistance derived by pedigree selection from a resynthesized B. napus genotype. A genetic map was constructed comprising 165 restriction fragment length polymorphism, 94 amplified fragment length polymorphism and 45 simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers covering a total of 1,739 cM on 19 linkage groups. Seedlings of the DH lines and parents were inoculated with V. longisporum isolates in four greenhouse experiments performed in Sweden during autumn 1999. In three of the experiments the DH lines were inoculated with a mixture of five isolates, while in the fourth experiment only one of the isolates was used. The intention was to simulate four different environments with variable disease pressure, while still maintaining uniform conditions in each environment to enable reliable disease scoring. The disease index (DI) was calculated by scoring symptoms on a total of 21 inoculated plants per line in comparison to 21 noninoculated plants per line. Using the composite interval mapping procedure a total of four different chromosome regions could be identified that showed significant QTL for resistance in more than one environment. Two major QTL regions were identified on the C-genome linkage groups N14 and N15, respectively; each of these QTL consistently exhibited significant effects on resistance in multiple environments. The presence of flanking markers for the respective QTL was associated with a significant reduction in DI in the inoculated DH lines.

Abstract A genetic map for the model legume Lotus japonicus has been developed. The F2 mapping population was established from an interspecific cross between L. japonicus and L. filicaulis. A high level of DNA polymorphism between these parents was the source of markers for linkage analysis and the map is based on a framework of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Additional markers were generated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence-specific PCR. A total of 524 AFLP markers, 3 RAPD markers, 39 gene-specific markers, 33 microsatellite markers, and six recessive symbiotic mutant loci were mapped. This genetic map consists of six linkage groups corresponding to the six chromosomes in L. japonicus. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with selected markers aligned the linkage groups to chromosomes as described in the accompanying article by Pedrosa  et al. (2002, this issue). The length of the linkage map is 367 cM and the average marker distance is 0.6 cM. Distorted segregation of markers was found in certain sections of the map and linkage group I could be assembled only by combining colormapping and cytogenetics (FISH). A fast method to position genetic loci employing three AFLP primer combinations yielding 89 markers was developed and evaluated by mapping three symbiotic loci, Ljsym1, Ljsym5, and Ljhar1-3.

We assessed the genetic diversity in Japanese indigenous common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and investigated the relationships between the genetic diversity and agronomic traits. The average expected intracultivar hetero zygosity was 0.303 for AFLP and 0.819 for SSR. The differentiations among agroecotypes, among cultivars within an agroecotype, and among cultivars were small (0.002, 0.024, and 0.026 for SSR and 0.013, 0.013, and 0.026 for AFLP, respectively) but statistically significant from zero except for the SSR differentiation among agroecotypes. In principal coordinates analysis, cultivars within the same agroecotype tended to cluster, indicating that agroecotypes well reflected the genetic relationships among cultivars. In AFLP, the differentiation among the agroecotypes was more distinct than in SSR, and genetic distance showed a moderate correlation with the difference in quantitative traits, indicating that AFLP can resolve the relationships among cultivars with better resolution than SSR. By contrast, SSR may be more sensitive to demographic changes. Four of the five SSR markers showed a significant positive correlation (Kendall's τ = 0.382–0.607) between allelic richness and variation in flowering timing, indicating that cumulative bottleneck events have occurred during the population history, with a decline in the variation of photosensitivity of flowering.Key words: agroecotype, coefficient of gene differentiation, genetic distance, allelic richness, photosensitivity of flowering.

Restriction Fragment Length

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) maps have been constructed for cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) using three independent sets of RFLP probes. The aim of this research was to integrate RFLP markers from two sets with RFLP markers for resistance gene candidate (RGC) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Genomic DNA samples of HA370 and HA372, the parents of the F2 population used to build the map, were screened for AFLPs using 42 primer combinations and RFLPs using 136 cDNA probes (RFLP analyses were performed on DNA digested with EcoRI, HindIII, EcoRV, or DraI). The AFLP primers produced 446 polymorphic and 1101 monomorphic bands between HA370 and HA372. The integrated map was built by genotyping 296 AFLP and 104 RFLP markers on 180 HA370 × HA372 F2 progeny (the AFLP marker assays were performed using 18 primer combinations). The HA370 × HA372 map comprised 17 linkage groups, presumably corresponding to the 17 haploid chromosomes of sunflower, had a mean density of 3.3 cM, and was 1326 cM long. Six RGC RFLP loci were polymorphic and mapped to three linkage groups (LG8, LG13, and LG15). AFLP markers were densely clustered on several linkage groups, and presumably reside in centromeric regions where recombination is reduced and the ratio of genetic to physical distance is low. Strategies for targeting markers to euchromatic DNA need to be tested in sunflower. The HA370 × HA372 map integrated 14 of 17 linkage groups from two independent RFLP maps. Three linkage groups were devoid of RFLP markers from one of the two maps.Key words: amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), Helianthus, sunflower, genetic map.
