Berry texture QTL and candidate gene analysis in grape (Vitis vinifera L.).

ABSTRACT: Berry texture is a noteworthy economic trait for grape; however, the genetic bases and the complex gene expression and regulatory mechanism for the diverse changes in berry texture are still poorly understood. In this study, the results suggest that it is difficult to obtain high-mesocarp firmness (MesF) and high-pericarp puncture hardness (PPH) grape cultivars with high pericarp brittleness (PerB). The high-density linkage map was constructed using whole-genome resequencing based on 151 F₁ individuals originating from intraspecific hybridization between the firm-flesh cultivar 'Red Globe' and soft-flesh cultivar 'Muscat Hamburg'. The total length of the consensus map was 1613.17 cM, with a mean genetic distance between adjacent bin markers of 0.59 cM. Twenty-seven quantitative
