The linkage maps of Dendrobium species based on RAPD and SRAP markers

Dendrobium plants are used commonly as tonic herbs and health food in many Asian countries,especially in China.Here we report the genetic map construction of two Dendrobium species with a double pseudo-testcross strategy using random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism(SRAP) markers.A F1 mapping population of 90 individuals was developed from a cross between D.officinale and D.hercoglossum.A total of 307 markers,including 209 RAPD and 98 SRAP,were identified and used ...     

The first genetic linkage map of Luohanguo (Siraitia grosvenorii ) based on ISSR and SRAP markers

In this study, the first genetic map of Luohanguo (Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) C. Jeffrey) was constructed with 150 F? population individuals using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. A total of 100 ISSRs and 196 SRAP primer combinations generated 51 and 222 polymorphic markers, respectively. Among the 273 markers obtained, 199 markers (29 ISSRs and 170 SRAPs) were mapped to 25 linkage groups. The map covered 1463.3 cM with a mean map distance of 7.35 cM between adjacent markers and a maximum map distance of 52.6 cM between two markers. The markers were distributed randomly in 25 groups except for minor clusters in the distal region of linkage groups. All 25 linkage groups consisted of 2-36 loci ranging in length from 19.5 to 152.6 cM and accounted for 59.8% of the total map distance. This map provides reference information for future molecular breeding work on Luohanguo.     

A first genetic linkage map of mulberry (Morus spp.) using RAPD, ISSR, and SSR markers and pseudotestcross mapping strategy

To lay the foundation for molecular breeding efforts, the first genetic linkage map of mulberry (2n=2x=28) was constructed with 50 F1 full-sib progeny using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and two-way pseudotestcross mapping strategy. We selected 100 RAPD, 42 ISSR, and 9 SSR primers that amplified 517 markers, of which 188 (36.36%) showed a test-cross configuration, corresponding to the heterozygous condition in one parent and null in the other. Two separate female and male maps were constructed using 94 each of female- and male-specific testcross markers, containing 12 female linkage groups and 14 male linkage groups. At a minimum logarithm of the odds (LOD) score threshold of 6.0 and at a maximum map distance of 20 cM, the female map covered a 1,196.6-cM distance, with an average distance of 15.75 cM and maximum map distance of 37.9 cM between two loci; the male-specific map covered a 1,351.7-cM distance, with an average distance of 18.78 cM and a maximum map distance between two loci is of 34.7 cM. The markers distributed randomly in all linkage groups without any clustering. All 12 linkage groups in the female-specific map consisted of 4–10 loci ranging in length from 0 to 140.4 cM, and in the male-specific map, the 13 largest linkage groups (except linkage group 12, which contained three loci) consisted of 4–12 loci, ranging in length from 53.9 to 145.9 cM and accounting for 97.22% of the total map distance. When mapping, progeny pass through their juvenile phase and assume their adult characters, mapping morphological markers and identification of quantitative trait loci for adaptive traits will be the primary target. In that sense, our map provides reference information for future molecular breeding work on Morus and its relatives.

Linkage Map of the Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera, Based on Rapd Markers

A linkage map was constructed for the honey bee based on the segregation of 365 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers in haploid male progeny of a single female bee. The X locus for sex determination and genes for black body color and malate dehydrogenase were mapped to separate linkage groups. RAPD markers were very efficient for mapping, with an average of about 2.8 loci mapped for each 10-nucleotide primer that was used in polymerase chain reactions. The mean interval size between markers on the map was 9.1 cM. The map covered 3110 cM of linked markers on 26 linkage groups. We estimate the total genome size to be ~3450 cM. The size of the map indicated a very high recombination rate for the honey bee. The relationship of physical to genetic distance was estimated at 52 kb/cM, suggesting that map-based cloning of genes will be feasible for this species.

Genetic linkage maps of white birches (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Betula platyphylla</Emphasis> Suk. and <Emphasis Type="Italic">B. pendula</Emphasis> Roth) based on RAPD and AFLP markers

A pseudo-testcross mapping strategy was used in combination with the random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genotyping methods to develop two moderately dense genetic linkage maps for Betula platyphylla Suk. (Asian white birch) and B. pendula Roth (European white birch). Eighty F₁ progenies were screened with 291 RAPD markers and 451 AFLP markers. We selected 230 RAPD and 362 AFLP markers with 1:1 segregation and used them for constructing the parent-specific linkage maps. The resultant map for B. platyphylla was composed of 226 markers in 24 linkage groups (LGs), and spanned 2864.5 cM with an average of 14.3 cM between adjacent markers. The linkage map for B. pendula was composed of 226 markers in 23 LGs, covering 2489.7 cM. The average map distance between adjacent markers was 13.1 cM. Clustering of AFLP markers was observed on several LGs. The availability of these white birch linkage maps will contribute to the molecular genetics and the implementation of marker-assisted selection in these important forest species.     

A molecular linkage map of olive (Olea europaea L) based on RAPD, microsatellite, and SCAR markers.

An integrated molecular linkage map of olive (Olea europaea L.) was constructed based on randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR), and microsatellite markers using the pseudo-testcross strategy. A mapping population of 104 individuals was generated from an F1 full-sib family of a cross between 'Frantoio' and 'Kalamata'. The hybridity of the mapping population was confirmed by genetic similarity and nonmetric multidimensional scaling. Twenty-three linkage groups were mapped for 'Kalamata', covering 759 cM of the genome with 89 loci and an average distance between loci of 11.5 cM. Twenty-seven linkage groups were mapped for 'Frantoio', covering 798 cM of the genome with 92 loci and an average distance between loci of 12.3 cM. For the integrated map, 15 linkage groups covered 879 cM of the genome with 101 loci and an average distance between loci of 10.2 cM. The size of the genomic DNA was estimated to be around 3000 cM. A sequence characterized amplified region marker linked to olive peacock disease resistance was mapped to linkage group 2 of the integrated map. These maps will be the starting point for studies on the structure, evolution, and function of the olive genome. When the mapping progeny pass through their juvenile phase and assume their adult characters, mapping morphological markers and identification of quantitative trait loci for adaptive traits will be the primary targets.

AFLP-based genetic linkage map for the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum)

The red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) is a major pest of stored grain and grain products and a popular model species for a variety of ecological, evolutionary, and developmental biology studies. Development of a linkage map based on reproducible and highly polymorphic molecular markers would greatly facilitate research in these disciplines. We have developed a genetic linkage map using 269 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Ten previously known random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used as anchor markers for linkage group assignment. The linkage map was constructed through genotyping two independent F(2) segregating populations with 48 AFLP primer combinations. Each primer combination generated an average of 4.6 AFLP markers eligible for linkage mapping. The length of the integrated map is 573 cM, giving an average marker resolution of 2.0 cM and an average physical distance per genetic distance of 350 kb/cM. A cluster of loci on linkage group 3 exhibited significant segregation distortion. We have also identified six X-linked and two Y-linked markers. Five mapped AFLP fragments were sequenced and converted to sequence-tagged site (STS) markers.     

A first linkage map of olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars using RAPD,AFLP, RFLP and SSR markers

The first linkage map of the olive (Olea europaea L.) genome has been constructed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) as dominant markers and a few restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) and simple-sequence repeats (SSR) as codominant markers. Ninety-five individuals of a cross progeny derived from two highly heterozygous olive cultivars, Leccino and Dolce Agogia, were used by applying the pseudo test-cross strategy. From 61 RAPD primers 279 markers were obtained - 158 were scored for Leccino and 121 for Dolce Agogia. Twenty-one AFLP primer combinations gave 304 useful markers - 160 heterozygous in Leccino and 144 heterozygous in Dolce Agogia. In the Leccino map 249 markers (110 RAPD, 127 AFLP, 8 RFLP and 3 SSR) were linked. This resulted in 22 major linkage groups and 17 minor groups with fewer than four markers. In the Dolce Agogia map, 236 markers (93 RAPD, 133 AFLP, 6 RFLP and 4 SSR) were linked; 27 major linkage groups and three minor groups were obtained. Codominant RFLPs and SSRs, as well as few RAPDs in heteroduplex configuration, were used to establish homologies between linkage groups of both parents. The total distance covered was 2,765 cM and 2,445 cM in the Leccino and Dolce Agogia maps, respectively. The mean map distance between adjacent markers was 13.2 cM in Leccino and 11.9 cM in Dolce Agogia, respectively. Both AFLP and RAPD markers were homogeneously distributed in all of the linkage groups reported. The stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene was mapped on linkage group 4 of cv. Leccino.     

A genetic linkage map for watermelon derived from a testcross population: ( Citrullus lanatus var. citroides x C. lanatus var. lanatus) x Citrullus colocynthis

A genetic linkage map was constructed for watermelon using a testcross population [Plant Accession Griffin 14113 (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides) 2 New Hampshire Midget (NHM; C. lanatus var. lanatus)] 2 U.S. Plant Introduction (PI) 386015 (Citrullus colocynthis). The map contains 141 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers produced by 78 primers, 27 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers produced by 17 primers, and a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker that was previously reported as linked (1.6 cM) to race-1 Fusarium wilt [incited by Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend.:Fr. f. sp. niveum (E.F.Sm.) W.C. Synder &; H.N. Hans] resistance in watermelon. The map consists of 25 linkage groups. Among them are a large linkage group that contains 22 markers covering a mapping distance of 225.6 cM and six large groups each with 10-20 markers covering a mapping distance of 68.8 to 110.8 cM. There are five additional linkage groups consisting of 3-7 markers per group, each covering a mapping distance of 36.5 to 57.2 cM. The 13 remaining linkage groups are small, each consisting of 2-11 markers covering a mapping distance of 3.5-29.9 cM. The entire map covers a total distance of 1,166.2 cM with an average distance of 8.1 cM between two markers. This map is useful for the further development of markers linked to disease resistance and watermelon fruit qualities.     

CONSTRUCTION OF A GENETIC LINKAGE MAP FOR PORPHYRA HAITANENSIS (BANGIALES,RHODOPHYTA) BASED ON SEQUENCE‐RELATED AMPLIFIED POLYMORPHISM AND SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEAT MARKERS1

Molecular markers and molecular genetic maps are prerequisites for molecular breeding in any plant species. A comprehensive genetic linkage map for cultivated Porphyra haitanensis T. J. Chang et B. F. Zheng has not yet been developed. In this study, 157 double haploid (DH) lines [derived from a YSIII (wildtype) × RTPM (red‐type artificial pigmentation mutant) cross] were used as a mapping population in P. haitanensis. A total of 60 pairs of sequence‐related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) primers and 39 pairs of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to detect polymorphisms between the two parents. Fifteen SRAP and 16 SSR polymorphic primer pairs were selected to analyze the DH population. A linkage genetic map comprising 67 SRAP markers and 20 SSR markers in five linkage groups, with a total length of 830.6 cM and an average of 10.13 cM between markers, was constructed. The markers were distributed evenly in all linkage groups without clustering. The linkage groups comprised 12–23 markers ranging in length from 134.2 to 197.3 cM. The estimated genome length of P. haitanensis was 942.4 cM, with 88.1% coverage. This is the first report of a comprehensive genetic map in P. haitanensis. The map presented here will provide a basis for the development of high‐density genetic linkage maps and lay the foundation for molecular breeding work in P. haitanensis.

RAPD-based genetic linkage maps of Tribolium castaneum.

A genetic map of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) integrating molecular with morphological markers was constructed using a backcross population of 147 siblings. The map defines 10 linkage groups (LGs), presumably corresponding to the 10 chromosomes, and consists of 122 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, six molecular markers representing identified genes, and five morphological markers. The total map length is 570 cM, giving an average marker resolution of 4.3 cM. The average physical distance per genetic distance was estimated at 350 kb/cM. A cluster of loci showing distorted segregation was detected on LG9. The process of converting RAPD markers to sequence-tagged site markers was initiated: 18 RAPD markers were cloned and sequenced, and single-strand conformational polymorphisms were identified for 4 of the 18. The map positions of all 4 coincided with those of the parent RAPD markers.     

RAPD-based genetic linkage map of blueberry derived from a cross between diploid species (Vaccinium darrowi and V. elliottii)

An initial genetic linkage map for blueberry has been constructed from over 70 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers that segregated 11 in a testcross population of 38 plants. The mapping population was derived from a cross between two diploid blueberry plants: the F₁ interspecific hybrid (Vaccinium darrowi Camp x V. elliottii Chapm.) and another V. darrowi plant. The map currently comprises 12 linkage groups (in agreement with the basic blueberry chromosome number) and covers a total genetic distance of over 950cM, with a range of 3–30cM between adjacent markers. The use of such a map for identifying molecular markers linked to genes controlling chilling requirement and cold hardiness is discussed.
