Simon: Pubs: 00tag_0439headline bar Theor Appl Genet (2000) 100:439-446 **L.S. Boiteux •• J.G. Belter •• P.A. Roberts •• P.W. Simon** RAPD linkage map of the genomic region encompassing the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) resistance locus in carrot Received: 22 June 1999 / Accepted: 6 July 1999 AbstractInheritance studies have indicated that resistance to the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) in carrot inbred line 'Brasilia-1252' is controlled by the action of one or two (duplicated) dominant gene(s) located at a single genomic region (designated the Mj-1locus). A systematic search for randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to Mj-1was carried out using bulked segregant analysis (BSA). Altogether 1000 ten-mer primers were screened with 69.1% displaying scorable amplicons. A total of approximately 2400 RAPD bands were examined. Four reproducible markers (OP-C21700, OP-Q6500, OP-U12700, and OP-AL15500) were identified, in coupling-phase linkage, flanking the Mj-1region. The genetic distances between RAPD markers and the Mj-1locus, estimated using an F2 progeny of 412 individuals from 'Brasilia 1252' •- 'B6274', ranged from 0.8 to 5.7 cM . The two closest flanking markers (OP-Q6500 and OP-AL15500) encompassed a region of 2.7 cM . The frequency of these RAPD loci was evaluated in 121 accessions of a broad-based carrot germplasm collection. Only five entries (all resistant to M. javanicaand genetically related to 'Brasilia 1252') exhibited the simultaneous presence of all four markers. An advanced line derived from the same cross, susceptible to M. javanicabut relatively resistant to another root-knot nematode species (M. incognita), did not share three of the closest markers. These results suggest that at least some genes controlling resistance to M. incognitaand M. javanicain 'Brasilia 1252' reside at distinct loci. The low number of markers suggests a reduced amount of genetic divergence between the parental lines at the region surrounding the target locus. Nevertheless, the low rate of recombination indicated these markers could be useful landmarks for positional cloning of the resistance gene(s). These RAPD markers could also be used to increase the Mj-1frequency during recurrent selection cycles and in backcrossing programs to minimize 'linkage drag' in elite lines employed for the development of resistant F1 hybrids. **Key words**Bulked segregant analysis •• Carrot •• Daucuscarota •• Disease resistance •• Meloidogyne javanica •• Root-knot nematode  Communicated by G.
