[Objective] This study aimed to select SSR molecular markers linked to flesh color around the stone of Prunus persica （L.） Batsch. [Method] P. persica （L.） Batsch varieties Chongyanghong and Yanhong were used as parents to construct F1 orthogonal group. A total of 138 FI individuals were selected as experimental materi- als for construction of color around the stone gene pool （B1） and non-color around the stone gene pool （B2） by using bulked segregant analysis （BSA） method, molec- ular markers linked to the flesh color around the stone of P. persica （L.） Batsch were selected with SSR molecular marker technology. [Result] After selection with 256 pairs of SSR primers, three pairs of molecular markers linked to the gene con- trolling flesh color around the stone of P. persica （L.） Batsch were selected （UDP96- 003, ch04g09 and UDP97-402）. In addition, genetic distances between the three molecular markers and the gene controlling flesh color around the stone of P. persi- ca （L.） Batsch were calculated, which were 16.7, 10.1 and 17.0 cM, respectively. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for further selection of co-dominant molecular markers with closer genetic distance.
