Fine Mapping and Candidate Gene Identification for Wax Biosynthesis Locus, BoWax1 in Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata.

ABSTRACT: Cuticular waxes play important roles in plant protection against various biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. The cuticular wax covering gives normal cabbage a glaucous appearance, but the appearance of waxless mutant is glossy green. Based on the present study, inheritance of the glossy green character of mutant HUAYOU2 follows a simple recessive pattern. Genetic analysis of an F₂ population comprising 808 recessive individuals derived from HUAYOU2 (P₁, maternal parent) and M36 (P₂, paternal parent) revealed that a single recessive locus, BoWax1 (Brassica oleracea Wax 1), controls glossy green trait in B. oleracea. This locus was mapped to a region of 158.5 kb on chromosome C01. Based on nucleotide sequence analysis, Bo
