We have constructed a molecular linkage map of chili pepper (Capsicum spp.) in an interspecific (C. annuum cv. TF68 x C. chinense cv. Habanero) F$_2$ population of 107 plants with 150 RFLP and 430 AFLP markers. The resulting linkage map consists of 11 large (206-60.3 cM) and 5 small (32.6- 10.3 cM) linkage groups cover-ing 1,320 cM with an average map distance between framework markers of 7.5 cM. Most (80%) of the RFLP markers were pepper-derived clones and these markers were evenly distributed across the genome. By using 30 primer combinations, 444 AFLP markers were generated in the F$_2$population. The majority of the AFLP markers clustered in each linkage group, although PstI/MseI markers were more evenly distributed than Eco RI/MseI markers within the linkage groups. Genes for biosynthesis of carotenoids and capsaicinoids were mapped on our linkage map. This map will provide the basis of studying secondary metabolites in pepper.
