Table I. Features of the map generated with the Van-0 × Col-0 RIL population.

Map distances were calculated with the Mapmaker/QTL 3.0 program. The kb per cM estimates were generated by a linear regression of the map to the known bp positions of the SNPs from the physical map.

Chromosome	Total cM	kb per cM	Average Distance per Marker	Gaps > 10 cM

2	206.31	87.32	8.25 ± 6.42	5
