“Jaeanchal” is a new six-rowed, naked and waxy barley cultivar developed by National Crop Experiment Station (NCES), RDA in 2001. This cultivar was derived from a cross between “Suwon261” and “SB881115-6” in 1989. The final selection was made at NCES in 1

Sanglog', a new covered barley cultivar resistant to powdery mildew and barley yellow m osaic virus (BaYMV) was developed by the barley breeding team of the National Crop Experim ent Station (NCES), RDA in 1999. This variety was derived from a cross betwe

A new two-rowed naked waxy barley cultivar, 'Pungsanchal', was developed for split polished grains by the National Crop Experiment Station(NCES), RDA in 2001. This cultivar was derived f rom a cross between 'SB901258GG-B' and 'Suwon212' in 1991. The f ina

A new malting barley variety, 'Daeabori', was developed from cross between Jinkwangbori/Milyang 46 and Mihogolden, a good quality, by the barley breeding team in the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station(NYAES) in 2001. An elite line, YMB1503-

A new wheat variety, 'Anbaekmil' was developed from the cross between Saemil and Geurumil by the wheat and barley breeding team of the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES) in 2001. A promising line, YWM2078- 3B-2-3-7, was selected in

A new covered barley variety, 'Keunalbori 1' was developed from the cross between Keunalbori, a large grain variety, and Milyang 55, a brittle-awned variety, by the wheat and barley breeding team in the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (N

Molecular markers have become fundamental tools for crop genome study. The objective of this study was to construct a genetic linkage map for cowpea with PCR-based molecular markers. Five hundred and twenty random RAPD primers were screened for parental polymorphism. Ninety RAPD markers from sixty primers was segregated in 75 F2 mapping population derived from the cross of local cultivars GSC01 and GSC02. 70 RAPD markers were found to be genetically linked and formed 11 linkage groups. Linkage map spanned 474.1 cM across all 11 linkage groups. There are six linkage groups of 40 cM or more, and five smaller linkage groups range from 4.9 to 24.8 cM. The average linkage distance between pairs of markers among all linkage groups was 6.87 cM. The number of markers per linkage group ranged from 2 to 32. The longest group 1 spans 190.6 cM, while the length of shortest group 11 is 4.9 cM. This map is further needed to be saturated with the various markers such as RFLP, AFLP, SSR and more various populations and primers. In addition, morphological markers and biochemical markers should be united to construct a comprehensive linkage map
