As an additional tool for the genetic improvement of faba bean, an Old World grain legume, a preliminary linkage map of a wide cross was established and several QTL for agronomic traits were identified. All factors in the field experiments, the F7 lines of the cross (N = 253), the two locations and their interactions significantly affected the agronomic traits, except for the effect of genotypes on grain yield. To create a linkage map, RAPD markers were established for this cross and the 57 RI F7-sample lines. A total of 77 markers were assayed segregating in the 57 RI lines and grouped into...
