Summary of linkage maps constructed in the present study
| Parent cultivars | PSL | 90IDN-47 |
|---|---|---|
| No. of linkage groups | 43 | 47 |
| Total length (cM) | 931.5 | 734.3 |
| Average length of linkage groups (cM) | 21.2 | 15.6 |
| Average distance between markers (cM) | 11.6 | 9.8 |
| Min. number of markers in linkage groups | 2 | 2 |
| Max. number of markers in linkage groups | 8 | 5 |
| Min. length of linkage groups (cM) | 0.0* | 0.0* |
| Max. length of linkage groups (cM) | 91.7 | 46.4 |

Although the linkage groups with minimum length contain more than two independent markers, recombination was not observed in our F1 mapping populations. Thus, the markers in these linkage groups were considered to be closely linked.
