The phenotypic evaluation was conducted in Mali. The mapped population consisted of 217 F2 plants, with 345 homologous and heterologous RFLP probes and 49 microsatellite markers tested. Eighty-one RFLP markers revealed polymorphism between the two parents, and 14 microsatellite markers gave usable amplification products. A genetic map including 92 loci distributed over 13 linkage groups, and covering a total distance of 1160 cM was built. Three significant and seven putative QTLs were detected and placed on the map publisher: Academic Publishers date: 2005 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/7869/1/AJB_4_3_247-250_2005.pdf identifier: Deu, M and Ratnadass, A and Hamada, M A and Noyer, J L and Diabate, M and Chantereau, J (2005) Quantitative trait loci for head-bug resistance in sorghum.
