The consensus genetic map for Populus. (Black) AFLP markers; (red) the framework SSR markers in Family 13 and Family 331; (green) the alternative SSR markers genotyped in Family 13; (blue) the alternative SSR markers genotyped in Family 331; (SEX) the gender determination locus. The markers in bins have the same consensus position. The consensus map was established from genotypes of different pedigrees, and thus, the genetic distance does not reflect the recombination rate between markers but rather only marker orders on the consensus map. Note SSR primers were developed from different sequence data (for marker nomenclature, see text).
