Abstract
Segregation of flower longevity in two lily populations was studied and the genetic linkage of morphological markers and RAPD markers with loci involved in flower longevity was investigated. A large variation in flower longevity was found within the two populations tested at individual plant level. Longevity values were well correlated between experiments at the individual plant level and at clonal level. One out of 278 RAPD markers and one morphological marker (male sterility) were significantly (P<0.005) linked to flower longevity in the clonal test. Linkage studies were hampered because of the low number of descendants evaluated in both longevity and marker analysis. The possible influence of male sterility on flower longevity of Asiatic hybrid lilies is discussed.
