Abstract.

The first linkage map of the olive (Olea europaea L.) genome has been constructed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) as dominant markers and a few restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) and simple-sequence repeats (SSR) as codominant markers. Ninety-five individuals of a cross progeny derived from two highly heterozygous olive cultivars, Leccino and Dolce Agogia, were used by applying the pseudo test-cross strategy. From 61 RAPD primers 279 markers were obtained – 158 were scored for Leccino and 121 for Dolce Agogia. Twenty-one AFLP primer combinations gave 304 useful markers – 160 heterozygous in Leccino and 144 heterozygous in Dolce Agogia. In the Leccino map 249 markers (110 RAPD, 127 AFLP, 8 RFLP and 3 SSR) were linked. This resulted in 22 major linkage groups and 17 minor groups with fewer than four markers. In the Dolce Agogia map, 236 markers (93 RAPD, 133 AFLP, 6 RFLP and 4 SSR) were linked; 27 major linkage groups and three minor groups were obtained. Codominant RFLPs and SSRs, as well as few RAPDs in heteroduplex configuration, were used to establish homologies between linkage groups of both parents. The total distance covered was 2,765 cM and 2,445 cM in the Leccino and Dolce Agogia maps, respectively. The mean map distance between adjacent markers was 13.2 cM in Leccino and 11.9 cM in Dolce Agogia, respectively. Both AFLP and RAPD markers were homogeneously distributed in all of the linkage groups reported. The stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene was mapped on linkage group 4 of cv. Leccino.
