Notes:
Several genetic maps for sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), from different German research groups, have been published and it is now possible to consider combining them with the aid of the common markers. The computer program JOINMAP (versions 1.3 and 2.0) was used for pair-wise combination of three populations. Several problems arose: the genetic background of the populations, different population structures (F2 versus F1× F1), different number of polymorphic loci for common probes in the populations to be combined, different estimates of the recombination rates between the same markers and differences between the JoinMap versions. The maps from two F2 populations could be integrated into a single map, but it was more appropriate to construct separate maps for the F2 populations and the F1× F1 population using common markers as reference points only.
