For the construction (backward linkage oriented), professional and miscellaneous (forward linkage oriented), and industrial activities (key sector), investment has been proved worthwhile by allowing increased opportunity of employment in the respective sectors (Fig. 11).
JAC: Participated in the construction of linkage maps.
Screening and construction of linkage disequilibrium (LD) plots were performed using Haploview (version 4.2).
Markers with good reproducibility and clearly decipherable loci were chosen for construction of linkage maps.
BAC end sequences of heterozygous genotypes have also been successfully utilized in SNP discovery and construction of linkage maps [ 59- 61].
The interspecies differences should justify future de novo construction of linkage maps for L. cuprina, with denser markers.
Use of molecular markers are reported for construction of linkage map and identification of commercially valuable CMS in sugarbeet (61).
The construction of linkage maps followed the same procedure as described by van Dijk et al. [ 27].
Two F2 mapping populations, i.e., SKF2 and NYF2, were used for the construction of linkage maps.
Non-coding SSRs have been widely used for the analysis of genetic diversity and population structure, construction of linkage maps, and detection of quantitative trait loci [ 2- 5].
These results are very similar to those obtained with positioned SNPs (Table 1) indicating that both type of markers are suitable for the construction of linkage maps.
