Abstract
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) information was used for identification of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivars, for studying the genetic relationship among 16 mango cultivars and seven mango rootstocks and for the construction of a genetic linkage map. Six AFLP primer combinations produced 204 clear bands and on the average 34 bands for each combination. The average Band-Sharing between cultivars and rootstocks was 83% and 80%, respectively. The average Band-Sharing for mango is 81%. The probability of obtaining a similar pattern for two different mango cultivars and rootstocks is 6 × 10-3 and 2 × 10-3, respectively. A preliminary genetic linkage map of the mango genome was constructed, based on the progeny of a cross between 'Keitt' and 'Tommy-Atkins'. This linkage map consists of 13 linkage groups and covers 161.5 cm defined by 34 AFLP markers.
