Maps in legumes (soybean, pea, common bean, alfalfa, chickpea, lentil)
All major legumes have been used for constructing molecular maps, although a moderately dense map is available only in case of soybean, where more than one thousand loci involving all kinds of markers (RFLP, RAPD, SSR, AFLP) were mapped over a length of 1500 cM. In pea also, a fairly good map involving ~1000 marker loci spanning a genetic length of ~1500 cM became available towards the end of last century. Similarly, in commen bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), a map with as many as 1000 RFLP and RAPD markers is available. In Contrast to these moderate density maps in soybean, pea and common bean, the available maps in chickpea and lentil are sparse and low density maps, with about 500 mapped markers in chickpea and 200 mapped markers in lentil. Maps have also been prepared in some other legumes including Lotus japonicus (2n = 12), alfalfa or Medicago sativa(2n = 32) and the model legume, M. truncatula (2n = 16).
