Linkage and mapping analyses of the normal marking gene +P in the silkworm (Bombyx mori) using SSR markers

G. Q. Wei, Yu, L., Liu, C. L., Zhu, B. J., and Ding, H. J., Linkage and mapping analyses of the normal marking gene +P in the silkworm (Bombyx mori) using SSR markers, vol. 12, pp. 2351-2359, 2013.

In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, normal markings are mainly controlled by the +P gene, which is located on the second chromosome. Due to a lack of crossing over in females, reciprocal backcrossed F1 (BC1) progenies were used for linkage analysis and mapping of the +P gene based on an SSR linkage map using silkworm strains P50 and H9, which are normal marking and sex-limited marking, respectively. The +P gene was found to be linked to 3 SSR markers.
