Abstract

Integrated linkage maps are a valuable tool for comparative mapping between and within genus and species. Novel single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) linkage maps integrated with simple sequence repeats (SSRs) based on pseudo-chromosomes of the Chinese pear reference genome of ‘Dangshansuli’ (Pyrus bretschneideri) were constructed. In total, 4801 qualified SNP markers were obtained using a customized pipeline. The consensus map for ‘Whangkeumbae’ and ‘Minibae’ contained 321 SNP and 30 SSR markers spanning 1511.1 cM with an average genetic distance of 4.3 cM. A total of 30 SSR markers made it possible to compare our consensus map to other pear and apple maps. SSR markers originating from pear and apple maps showed high co-linearity. SNPs coordinated with pseudo-chromosomes, provide information on physical length coverage for 17 corresponding linkage groups, and enable easier genome annotation for genomic regions detected by quantitative trait loci analysis. Genotyping-by-sequencing-based SNP maps integrated with SSRs in the interspecific mapping population illustrate the genomic structure of Korean pear resources and will be used as our reference maps for tribe Maleae.
