Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was employed for identifying putative markers associated with the head smut resistance.
Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used in three different approaches to search for phytate loci in the Boggs-RR x CX1834-1-2 population: (i) bulked segregant analysis (BSA; Michelmore et al., 1991), (ii) a modified BSA method which is described later, and (iii) a whole-genome scan of a subset of 94 random individuals.
Bulked segregant analysis (Michelmore et al., 1991), simple F tests, and interval mapping (Lander and Botstein, 1989) are useful techniques for identifying molecular markers linked to a specific gene or region of the genome.

The 256 AFLP primer pair combinations (EcoRI + ANN and MseI + CNN) were first tested on the parents and resistant and susceptible bulks developed using a combination of bulked segregant analysis (BSA; Michelmore et al., 1991) and multiple-trait bulking procedure (Kolkman and Kelly, 2003) to detect associated markers.

Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) (Michelmore et al., 1991) has made the process of identifying molecular markers linked with traits of interest more efficient; and it has been used successfully to detect molecular markers associated with disease resistance genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL) in many plant species, including soybean (Michelmore et al., 1991; Barua et al., 1993; Poulsen et al., 1995).
The inheritance of polymorphisms identified through bulked segregant analyses was investigated utilizing 127 [F.sub.2] individuals in the Saluda x NCAG11 population.
