A microsatellite-based consensus linkage map for species of Eucalyptusand a novel set of 230 microsatellite markers for the genus

Table 3 Homologies of linkage groups among different Eucalyptus sp. mapping studies that employed microsatellite markers. Localization of microsatellites derived and mapped from other Eucalyptus species [17, 44] and candidate genes [17], on the linkage groups of the consensus map of E. grandis and E. urophylla. The EMBRA microsatellites that allowed this analysis are listed in italics between parenthesis.

^a Homology was established based on markers Eg086 and Eg096 mapped by Missiaggia [72]
^b Homology was established based on markers Eg094 and Eg098 mapped by Missiaggia [72]
^c Homology was established based on marker Eg062 mapped by Missiaggia [72]
^d Homology was established based on markers En014 mapped by Missiaggia [72]
^e Homology was established based on markers En010 and Eg126 mapped by Missiaggia [72]
^f Homology was established based on markers Eg091 mapped by Missiaggia [72]
^g Homology was established based on the fact that only linkage group 4 of this work and group 11 of Thamarus et al. [17] were left.
