Abstract: A composite map of the Vicia faba genome based on morphological markers, isozymes, RAPDs, seed protein genes and microsatellites was constructed. The map incorporates data from 11 F-2 families for a total of 654 individuals all sharing the common female parent Vf 6. The integrated map is arranged in 14 major linkage groups :five of which were located in specific chromosomes. These linkage groups include 192 loci and cover 1,559 cM with an overall average marker interval of 8 cM.
