Cicer arietinum (ICC 4918) × C. reticulatum (JM 2100) cross produced the largest number of F2 plants and was chosen for linkage mapping using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. A partial linkage map was constructed based upon the segregation of 36 RAPD markers obtained by amplification using 35 primers. The linkage map consists of two linkage groups with 17 linked markers covering a total of 464.9 cM. Analyses also revealed association of three morphological traits with linked RAPD markers. Out of seven morphological traits tested for association with linked markers in the segregating plants, four Quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected for the trait leaf length and three QTLs each for the traits leaf width and erect plant habit KW - Cicer arietinum; Cicer reticulatum; Cicer echinospermum; RAPD; molecular linkage map; quantitative trait loci Y1 - 2001/// SP - 195 ID - icrisat6459 EP - 202 VL - 44 IS - 2 ER -
