Linkage Mapping

  • Chapter
Sorghum Molecular Breeding

Abstract

The past three decades have seen the development and use of DNA marker systems in linkage mapping of genes/QTLs for economic traits in almost all crop plants. Mapping populations of different types and sizes, DNA marker systems, and genotyping technologies were developed along with advances in statistical analyses for linkage mapping. The construction of genetic maps in sorghum started during 1990s using RFLP markers. Early genetic maps were based on F2 populations and lacked resolution due to less number of markers and smaller population size. Later maps were developed with recombinant inbred line populations with more number of markers and population size. New classes of PCR-based markers like SSRs, AFLPs were used in the construction of maps. The availability of whole sorghum genome sequence resulted in the development of thousands of SSRs and identification of millions of SNPs leading to the construction of high-density linkage maps. Saturated genetic maps contribute substantially to the fine mapping and positional cloning of important genes and offer a tool for gene discovery, allele mining, etc. Linkage maps covering whole of sorghum genome were developed, and comprehensive maps with molecular, cytological, and physical elements established integrating inputs from several mapping efforts. Linkage maps are useful for elucidation of complex biological processes directly related to superior agronomic performance and in identifying gene/QTL marker associations for gene pyramiding, marker-assisted breeding of crop plants including sorghum.
