Fine Mapping and Identification of a Candidate Gene for the Glossy Green Trait in Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata).

ABSTRACT: In higher plants, cuticular wax deposited on the surface of epidermal cells plays an important role in protecting the plant from biotic and abiotic stresses; however, the molecular mechanism of cuticular wax production is not completely understood. In this study, we identified a glossy green mutant (98-1030gl) from the glaucous cabbage inbred line 98-1030. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the amount of leaf cuticular wax significantly decreased in 98-1030gl. Genetic analysis showed that the glossy green trait was controlled by a single recessive gene. Bulked segregant analysis coupled with whole genome sequencing revealed that the candidate gene for the glossy green trait was located at 13,860,000-25,070,000 bp (11.21 Mb) on Chromosome 5. Based on the resequencing data of two pa
