Materials and Methods Plant Material :   The five S . chacoense families utilized for map construction have been previously described (Ronning et al . , 1998, 1999) .   Lines 55 - 1 and 55 - 3 are sibling selections from PI 320387 and produce high and nil leptine as a percentage of total foliar glycoalkaloids, respectively .   Line 8380 - 1 is a sibling selection from PI 458310 and produces high levels of leptine (Sinden et al . , 1986; Sanford et al . , 1997) .   Reciprocal crosses were made between 55 - 1 and 55 - 3 to produce two segregating F 1 families, 9501 (55 - 3 x 55 - 1, 94 individuals) and 9502 (55 - 1 x 55 - 3, 65 individuals) .   Reciprocal crosses were also made between 55 - 3 and 8380 - 1 (family 55 - 3 x 8380 - 1, 29 individuals; family 8380 - 1 x 55 - 3, 31 individuals) .   The fifth mapping population was derived from a cross between the two high leptine - producing genotypes 55 - 1 and 8380 - 1 (family 55 - 1 x 8380 - 1, 20 individuals) . PCR analysis :   AFLP reactions were carried out with the AFLP Analysis System I kit (Gibco BRL) using the manufacturer's protocol, but omitting the labeling reactions .   Twelve primer pair combinations that produced numer ous polymorphic markers were selected for screen rs .   Markers that deviated strongly from expected chi - square ratios (p<0 . 001) were Haanstra et al . 1999) . Maps generated from the 55 - 1x8380 - 1 cross and the two reciprocal crosses, 9501 / 9502 and 55 - 3 x 8380 - 1 / 8380 - 1 x 55 - 3, were subsequently combined using JoinMap 2 . 0 .   A recombination threshold of 0 . 49 and Kosambi’s mapping function were utilized for calculating map distances . The modified LOD threshold value for the integrated map was set at 0 . 1 (Haanstra et al . , 1999) . Results and Discussion ing of progeny .   Markers amplified by respective primer combinations were designated as follows: M1E6, M - CAA/E - ACT; M1E7, M - CAA/E - AGC; M2E3, M - CAC/E - ACA; M2E4, M - CAC/E - ACC; M3E3, M - CAG/E - ACA; M3E4, M - CAG/E - ACC; M3E8, M - CAG/E - AGG; M4E1, M - CAT/E - AAC; M5E4, M - CTA/E - ACC; M6E4, M - CTC/E - ACC; M6E5, M - CTC/E - ACG; and M6E7, M - CTC/E - AGC (M, Mse - I
