A genetic linkage map of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) was constructed using AFLP and SSR markers. The map is based on an F2 population (76 individuals) derived from self-pollination of an F1 individual (Lito) originated from a cross between Stark Early Orange and Tyrinthos. This family, designated as Lito Lito, segregated for two important agronomical traits: plum pox virus resistance (PPV) and self-incompatibility. A total of 211 markers (180 AFLPs, 29 SSRs and two agronomic traits) were assigned to 11 linkage groups covering 602cM of the apricot genome. The average distance (cM/marker) between adjacent markers is 3.84cM. The PPV resistance trait was mapped on linkage group G1 and the self-incompatibility trait was mapped on linkage group G6. Twenty two loci held in common with other Prunus maps allowed us to compare and establish homologies among the respective linkage groups.
