RESUMEN
Columnar apple is an important genetic resource for tree form breeding of apple. In this study, 106 individuals of the F1 population derived from 'Spur Fuji' (coco)x 'Telamon'(Coco) were used as plant materials for screening SSR markers linked to gene. By bulked segregating analysis (BSA), eight SSR markers from the tenth linkage group of apple genome were tested. Finally, three of them, COL, CH02a10 and CH03d11, were identified to be SSR markers of Co gene. Linkage analysis showed that the genetic distance of COL, CH02a10 and CH03d11 to Co locus was 15.3cM, 22.2cM and 3.9 cM, respectively. On the linkage map of these markers, Co gene was located between COL and CH03d11.

A DNA marker linked to the columnar gene (Co) in apple (Malus domestica) was explored based on the population of 105 progenies of 'Spur Fuji' x 'Telamon' by bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. A total of 300 random primers were screened and a RAPD marker (S1142(682)) closely linked to Co gene (2.86 cM) was identified and then sequenced. Four specific PCR primers (two forward primers and two reverse primers) were designed,and the products of SCAR-PCR indicated that all the four pairs of primers could amplify polymorphic bands between columnar and non-columnar traits, so any of them could serve as the specific SCAR primers. One pair of these specific primers was chosen to amplify each individual in the population, and the result showed that the co-segregation pattern of this SCAR marker and Co gene was the same as that of the RAPD marker. Furthermore, it was found that the nucleotide sequence of the RAPD marker fragment contained an open reading frame (ORF) that could encode 68 deduced amino acid residues at the position of +45 - +251.
