AB - Two complete sets of Allium fistulosum L. – A. cepa monosomic addition lines (2n=2x+1=17) together with an AFLP linkage map based on a cross between A. cepa and A. roylei Stearn were used to re-evaluate the eight A. cepa linkage groups identified in the mapping study. The linkage groups could be assigned to individual, physical chromosomes. The low level of molecular homology between A. cepa and A. fistulosum enabled the identification of 186 amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP™ markers) present in A. cepa and not in A. fistulosum with ten different primer combinations. With the monosomic addition lines the distribution of the markers over the eight chromosomes of A. cepa could be determined. Of these 186 AFLP markers 51 were absent in A. roylei and consequently used as markers in the mapping study ( A. cepa × A. roylei cross). Therefore, these 51 AFLP markers could be used to assign the eight A. cepa linkage groups identified in the mapping study to physical chromosomes. Seven isozyme and three CAPS markers were also included. Two of the linkage groups had to be split because they included two sets of markers corresponding to different chromosomes. A total of 20 (approx. 10%) of the A. cepa- specific AFLP markers were amplified in more than one type of the monosomic addition lines, suggesting unlinked duplications. The co-dominant isozyme and CAPS markers were used to identify the correspondence of linkage groupsoriginating from A. cepa or from A. roylei .
