It has been hypothesized that emmer was domesticated in the Karaca Dağ region in southeastern Turkey. A total of 445 recombinant inbred lines of <i>T. turgidum</i> ssp. <i>durum</i> cv. 'Langdon' x wild emmer accession PI 428082 from this region was developed and genotyped with the Illumina 90K single nucleotide polymorphism Infinium assay. A genetic map comprising 2,650 segregating markers was constructed. The order of the segregating markers and an additional 8,264 co-segregating markers in the <i>Aegilops tauschii</i> reference genome sequence was used to compare synteny of the tetraploid wheat with the <i>Brachypodium distachyon</i>, rice, and sorghum.
