Linkage mapping of the Mediterranean cypress, Cupressus sempervirens, based on molecular and morphological markers

C. Manescu, Hamamouch, Ν., Maios, C., Harfouche, A., Doulis, A. G., and Aravanopoulos, F. A., Linkage mapping of the Mediterranean cypress, Cupressus sempervirens, based on molecular and morphological markers, vol. 10, pp. 1891-1909, 2011.

Gene mapping for a Cupressus species is presented for the first time. Two linkage maps for the Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) varieties, C. sempervirens var. horizontalis and C. sempervirens var. pyramidalis, were constructed following the pseudo-testcross mapping strategy and employing RAPD, SCAR and morphological markers. A total of 427 loci (425 RAPDs, two SCARs) representing parents and F1 progeny were screened for polymorphism with 32 random decamer and two SCAR primers.
