| Mapping was performed on a set of 65 recombinant inbred lines derived by single-seed descent (F8) from a cross between the durum wheat cv Messapia (T. turgidum ssp. durum) and accession MG4343 of T. turgidum ssp. dicoccoides. |
| Markers were integrated into the existing RFLP map of durum wheat (see TAG-97-721, and Map_Data : T. turgidum, Messapia x dicoccoides) using Mapmaker 3.0. |
| The integration of 80 AFLP loci extended the map in several telomeric regions, reduced the size of four large gaps and eliminated one gap present in the previous map. |
