Localization of genes of agronomical interest in the RFLP map of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

A linkage map of a cross between a black seeded, Mesoamerican common bean line (Jamapa) and a purple mottle seeded, Andean bean line (Calima) was constructed based on 4 isozymes, 3 traits of agronomical interest and 41 restriction fragment lenght polymorphism loci. An F2 population of 76 plants, represented by the corresponding 76 F3 lines was analysed for all these traits
