Abstract
Two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations derived from intraspecific crosses with a common parental line (JG62) were employed to develop a chickpea genetic map. Molecular markers, flower colour, double podding, seed coat thickness and resistance to fusarium wilt race 0 (FOC-0) were included in the study. Joint segregation analysis involved a total of 160 markers and 159 RILs. Ten linkage groups (LGs) were obtained that included morphological markers and 134 molecular markers (3 ISSRs, 13 STMSs and 118 RAPDs). Flower colour (B/b) and seed coat thickness (Tt/tt) appeared to be linked to STMS (GAA47). The single-/double-podding locus was located on LG9 jointly with two RAPD markers and STMS TA80. LG3 included a gene for resistance to FOC-0 (Foc0(1)/foc0(1)) flanked by RAPD marker OPJ20(600) and STMS marker TR59. The association of this LG with FOC-0 resistance was confirmed by QTL analysis in the CA2139 x JG62 RIL population where two genes were involved in the resistance reaction. The STMS markers enabled comparison of LGs with preceding maps.
