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 KW - Head-bug KW - Eurystylus oldi KW - sorghum KW - resistance KW - RFLP KW - microsatellite KW - QTL Y1 - 2005/// SP - 247 ID - icrisat7869 EP - 250 VL - 4 IS - 3 ER -
