The proceeding of the 8Ih ISB:225-232(2001) Construction of Genetic Maps of Common Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and Its Wild Relative, F. homotropicum Ohnishi Based on Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers

Genetic linkage maps of common buckwheat (F. esculentum) and F. homotropicum were constructed by AFLP markers segregating in an F2 population of the interspecific cross F. esculentum x F homotropicum. Of 672 bands generated by twenty AFLP primer combinations, 465 bands (69%) were segregated in the F2 population. The map of F. esculentum comprised eight linkage groups containing 224 markers and had a length of 508.3 cM. The map of F homotropicum consisted of eight linkage groups with 214 markers covering 548.9 cM. One to one correspondence of the esculentum linkage groups to the homotropicum linkage groups was confirmed
