Abstract

A genetic linkage map of azuki bean (Vigna angularis) was constructed with molecular and morphological markers using an F2 population of an interspecific cross between azuki bean and its wild relative, V. nakashimae. In total, 132 markers (108 RAPD, 19 RFLP and five morphological markers) were mapped in 14 linkage groups covering 1250 cM; ten remained unlinked. The clusters of markers showing distorted segregation were found in linkage groups 2, 8 and 12. By comparing the azuki linkage map with those of mungbean and cowpea, using 20 RFLP common markers, some sets of the markers were found to belong to the same linkage groups of the respective maps, indicating that these linkage blocks are conserved among the three Vigna species. This map provides a tool for markerassisted selection and for studies of genome organization in Vigna species.
