Developing a high-density linkage map for the coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) genome has been recognized as a high priority task. This paper illustrates the importance of developing a linkage map, the theory behind genome mapping and QTL analysis and also the restrictions in application. Several attempts have already been made to map the coconut genome and to tag quantitative traits but have encountered various difficulties. A Sri Lankan coconut population derived by selfing dwarf green x tall hybrids was used to construct a linkage map with little success because the mapping population appeared to be adulterated and the attempts taken to sort it out were not effective
