Maintainer lines are used to seed propagate male-sterile lines for the development of hybrid onion (Allium cepa L.) cultivars. The identification of maintainer lines would be more efficient with molecular markers distinguishing genotypes at the nuclear male-fertility restoration (Ms) locus. Ms has been mapped to chromosome 2 of onion and linked genetic markers identified. However, linkages between these markers and Ms were detected using F2 or BC1 families at maximum linkage disequilibrium and, for many markers, their efficacy to predict genotypes at Ms in onion populations at or near linkage equilibrium remains unknown. In this research, near isogenic lines homozygous-dominant and -recessive at Ms were developed and screened for 930 single nucleotide poly- morphisms (SNPs). Three SNPs tightly linked on chromosome2 remainedin linkage disequilibrium withgenotypes at Ms among randomly selected plants from three open-pollinated populations of onion as well as among a collection of inbred lines. These SNPs should be useful for selection of the recessive ms allele to aid in the development of maintainer lines for hybrid onion development.
