Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The allotetraploid peanut genome assembly will be a valuable resource to researchers studying polyploidy species, in addition to peanut genome evolution and domestication other than facilitating QTL analysis and the tools for marker-assisted breeding. Therefore, a peanut linkage map will aid genome assembly, acting as an independent resource against which contig assembly can be validated. The objective of this study was to develop a comparative integrated map from two recombinant inbred line populations. A total of 4576 SSR markers from three sources: published SSR markers, newly developed SSR markers from ESTs and from BAC end-sequences were used for screening polymorphisms. Two CAP markers were also included to differentiate ahFAD2A alleles and ahFAD2B alleles. A total of 324 markers were anchored on this integrated map covering 1,352.1 cM with 21 linkage groups (LGs). Combining information from duplicated loci between LGs and comparing with published diploid maps, 7 homoeologous groups were defined and 17 LGs (A1 to A10, B1 to B4, B7, B8, and B9) were aligned to corresponding A-subgenome or B-subgenome of diploid progenitors. One reciprocal translocation was confirmed in the tetraploid cultivated peanut genome. Several chromosomal rearrangements were observed. This genetic linkage map and others could provide a framework for QTL analysis and a scaffold for integration of the physical map and genome sequence assembly.
