Abstract:

Hypocotyl color is of great significance for the improvement of traits in Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis. The aim of this study was to use bulky segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) technology to preliminarily locate genes related to the regulation of hypocotyl color in Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis. The F2 population was constructed for phenotype analysis using the green hypocotyl germplasm 99-70F (11X) as the female parent and the purple hypocotyl germplasm 99-70M (11Y) as the male parent of Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis. BSA-seq technology was used to preliminarily locate the target gene on chromosome A09, and competitive allele specific PCR (KASP) markers were developed within the quantitative trait locus (QTL) interval. The genotyping results showed that the loci A09:7 694 558 and A09:8 145 013 were highly correlated with the hypocotyl color of the F2 population. This study lay a good foundation for the fine mapping of genes related to the regulation of hypocotyl color and molecular marker-assisted selection breeding of Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis.
