Abstract: | Haploid linkage analysis of eastern white pine, Pinus strobus L., was carried out using mainly RAPD markers and microsatellite, or simple-sequence-repeat, markers. Ninety one loci mapped
to 12 linkage groups of three or more markers. The resulting framework genome map, the first for a soft pine species, contained
69 markers. The map covered 58% of the estimated genome length of 2071 cM(K), with a 95% confidence interval of 1828–2242 cM(K).
A systematic comparison of linkage data from eastern white pine, longleaf pine (P. palustris Mill.) and maritime pine (P. pinaster Ait.), gave genome-length estimates for all three species very close to either 2000 cM(K) or 2600 cM(H), depending on whether
the Kosambi(K) or Haldane(H) map functions, respectively, were employed. Differences among previous pine genome-length estimates
were attributed to the divergent criteria used in the methods of estimation, and indicate the need for the adoption of uniform
criteria when performing genome-length estimates. Current data suggest that members of the two pine subgenera, which diverged
during the late Mesozoic era, have highly conserved rates of recombination.
