Genetic mapping in lettuce

  • Chapter
DNA-based markers in plants

Part of the book series: Advances in Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants ((CMBP,volume 1))

Abstract

Cultivated lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a diploid (2n = 18) species in the Cichoreae tribe of the Compositae (Asteraceae) family. There are three well-established wild species in the subsection Lactuca, L. serriola, L. saligna, and L. virosa; all are 2n = 18 and self-fertilizing. These species can be crossed to L. sativa with increasing difficulty in the order listed. Several other sexually compatible species have been described (Ferakova 1977) but their validity as distinct species remains unclear. L. serriola is closely related to L. sativa and may be conspecific (Lindqvist 1960a; Kesseli et al. 1991). These wild species, especially L. serriola, have been sources of several disease resistance genes (see below; Crute 1988); however, they remain a rich source of variation that has yet to be accessed systematically.
