Genmap component "Variability analysis and genetic determinism of some physiological characteristics of the productivity in Thailand". Development of a genetic map of RRIM600 x PB217 based on microsatellite markers : Update of the mapping work of Ms Kanlaya Prapan work in Montpellier (Agropolis funding)

This report gives updated results on microsatellite genome mapping carried out by Ms Kanlaya Prapan at Cirad-Montpellier (December 2001-December 2002). After the departure of Kanlaya, Cirad team finalized some steps of the mapping work performed in 2002: 1) finalization of primer pairs screening and 2) complete data analysis for mapping. During Kanlaya's course, the map construction performed was only a rapid and preliminary analysis. In addition, the number of usable microsatellite sequence being insufficient for a satisfying genome coverage, 100 more DNA sequences were obtained, under an additional grant from Cirad.
