2. Components of a Molecular Mapping Programme
Marker
Software Population
3. Genetic Map Construction
Selection of suitable parents
Generation of appropriate mapping
population and its genotyping
Calculation of pair-wise recombination
frequency between markers
Identifying Linkage groups
Estimation of map distances
Determining map order
4. Selection of parents
Source of parents
Contrasting phenotype
Sufficient variation at DNA level
6. The population as such can be reproduced but it is
difficult or improbable to identify the individuals of
same genetic make up
F2 population
F2 derived F3 (F2:3) population
Backcross population
Mortal Mapping Population
7. Produced by selfing of the F1s between selected parents
Merits Appropriate populations for preliminary mapping
Useful in identifying heterotic QTLs
Requires less time and efforts for development
Demerits
Linkage established using F2 population is
based on one cycle of meiosis
Quantitative traits cannot be precisely mapped using F2
population
Not an immortal population
Of limited use for fine mapping and map saturation

10. F2 derived F3(F2:3) population
Obtained by selfing F2 individuals
Suitable for
mapping quantitative traits
mapping recessive genes
Useful for reconstitution of individual F2 genotypes
Demerit
Like F2 population, it is not immortal

12. Backcross population
Generated by crossing F1 with either of the parents,
usually the recessive parent (test- cross)
Requires less time for development
Can be utilized for marker assisted backcross breeding
Recombination from only one parent (F1) is accounted
Population is not immortal

14. A population which can reproduce itself or can be
reproduced without any change in genetic make
up of constituent individuals
Doubled Haploids (DHs)
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs)
Immortalized F2 population
Near - Isogenic Lines (NILs)
NILs- F2
MAGIC
Immortal Mapping Population
16. Doubled Haploids
Merits Demerits
Permanent population
Instant production of
homozygous lines
Suitable for mapping both
qualitative and quantitative
traits
Recombination from male side
alone is accounted
Non-availability of suitable
haploid production techniques
Anther culture induced variation
Differential regeneration
response of parents
Since recombination information is derived from only one parent, BC and DH
require twice the population size than F2
17. Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs)
Produced by selfing or sib-mating F2
individuals till they reach homozygosity
Self incompatibility
Inbreeding depression
Population size
21. Recombinant Inbred Lines
Merits Demerits
RILs are immortal
Of immense use for QTL
mapping
Suitable for fine mapping &
map saturation
RILs are twice as efficient as
an F2 population
Require many seasons/
generations to develop
Inbreeding depression if
present, could hinder RILs
production
22. Near- Isogenic Lines
Can be developed either through selfing or backcrossing

Isogenic Lines
Identification of heterozygote for target trait
NILs would differ from parents
Simple procedure
24. Merits Demerits
Immortal populations
Suitable for gene tagging
Useful in functional genomics
Require many generations
to develop
Not useful for linkage
mapping

27. Association mapping (AM)- process of identification of genetic markers for qualitative or
quantitative traits using statistical tools on population of unrelated individuals
28. MAGIC – a 2nd
generation mapping resource
-a new generation tool for gene-trait association for multi-genic
trait or QTLs in crop plants with large genome size leading
towards candidate gene isolations.
