Genetic map construction using a cross of Puccinia triticina race9 x race161
A mapping population consisting of an F1 and 53 F2 progeny was generated from a genetic cross between two wheat leaf rust fungus, Puccinia triticina, isolates, race9 x race161. Survey sequencing using the Illumina platform of genomic DNA from these isolates allowed SNP calling and the construction of a genetic map.
