밀양23호/기호벼 재조합자식 유전집단을 대상으로 PCR 기반 DNA 마커들로 구성된 분자유전자지도를 만들고자, 주로 아가로스 젤 상에서 분석이 가능한 마커들을 위주로 STS, InDel, RTM, SSR 마커들을 선발하여 분석하였다. InDel 마커 37개, STS 마커 88개, RTM 마커 8개, SSR 마커 91개를 포함한 224개의 마커로 구성된 유전지도를 만들었는데, 총 유전거리는 1,425 cM이었으며, 마커간 평균거리는 6.7 cM이었다. 이들 DNA 마커들의 프라이머 시퀀스 정보를 바탕으로 e-PCR프로그램을 이용하여 각 마커들의 벼 유전체상에서의 물리적인 위치를 파악하고 물리지도를 작성하였다. 이 물리지도에서 마커간의 물리적 거리의 합은 356.8 Mbp이었으며, 총 유전거리에서 이를 나누어 구한 1 cM당 평균 물리적 거리는 250 kbp이었다. 5% 유의수준에서 분리비 편의(segregation distortion) 현상을 보인 마커는 전체 마커의 22.8%인 51개이었으며, 주로 3번 염색체의 중간부위, 6번 염색체의 거의 모든 영역, 7번 염색체의 상단부위, 8번 염색체의 하단부위, 12번 염색체의 상단부위에 분포하였다. 이 분자유전자지도는 자포니카형 품종과 통일형 품종 또는 인디카 품종간의 교배후대 집단에서 유용형질의 유전자 위치를 분석하고자 할 때 이용 가능한 마커들에 대한 정보를 제공할 것이다.

Genetic linkage maps serve the plant geneticist in a number of ways, from marker assisted selection in plant improvement to map-based cloning in molecular genetic research. Genetic map based upon DNA polymorphism is a powerful tool for the study of qualitative and quantitative traits in crops. The objective of this study was to develop genetic linkage map of soybean using the population derived from the cross of Korean soybean cultivar 'Kwangkyo, and wild accession 'IT182305'. Total 1,000 Operon random primers for RAPD marker, 49 combinations of primer for AFLP marker, and 100 Satt primers for SSR marker were used to screen parental polymorphism. Total 341 markers (242 RAPD, 83 AFLP, and 16 SSR markers) was segregated in 85 ~textrmF2 population. Forty two markers that shown significantly distorted segregation ratio (1:2:1 for codominant or 3:1 for domimant marker) were not used in mapping procedure. A linkage map was constructed by applying the computer program MAPMAKER/EXP 3.0 to the 299 marker data with LOD 4.0 and maximum distance 50 cM. 176 markers were found to be genetically linked and formed 25 linkage groups. Linkage map spanned 2,292.7 cM across all 25 linkage groups. The average linkage distance between pair of markers among all linkage groups was 13.0 cM. The number of markers per linkage group ranged from 2 to 55. The longest linkage group 3 spanned 967.4 cM with 55 makers. This map requires further saturation with more markers and agronomically important traits will be joined over it.

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
