An improved system for identifying DNA sequences linked to a targeted region was developed by fractionating DNA sequences prior to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. In an attempt to identify DNA markers linked to a strong CCN resistance gene, Ccn-D1, in Triticum tauschii, DNA samples from individuals homozygous for resistance and susceptibility at the Ccn-D1 locus in a segregating progeny were bulked separately to produce "near isogenic" DNA pools. The polymerase chain reaction was employed to generate several DNA amplification products from each of the bulked DNA segregants using 240 random (RAPD) and 4 semirandom (consensus sequences of intron-splice junctions) primers. A DNA polymorphic fragment was apparent between the resistant and susceptible bulks using one of the semirandom primers. Hydroxylapatite chromatography of reannealed DNA (to C(o)t values 100) was used to enrich low copy DNA sequences in the bulk DNA segregants (resistant and susceptible DNA pools). PCR analysis on the low copy enriched DNA pool increased the level of polymorphism detected between bulked segregants. One of the RAPD fragments present in only the resistant low copy DNA pool was cloned and mapped to the distal region of the long arm of chromosome 2D. By using the cloned RAPD fragment, csE20-2, to assay an RFLP locus in three independent F2 progenies, complete cosegregation was obtained with the Ccn-D1 locus. Joint segregation analysis from a genome-wide mapping of RFLP markers and a second CCN resistance in T. tauschii, Ccn-D2. showed this locus to be loosely linked to the proximal region of chromosome 2
