Development of SNP Markers for White Immature Fruit Skin Color in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Using QTL-seq and Marker Analyses.

ABSTRACT: Despite various efforts in identifying the genes governing the white immature fruit skin color in cucumber, the genetic basis of the white immature fruit skin color is not well known. In the present study, genetic analysis showed that a recessive gene confers the white immature fruit skin-color phenotype over the light-green color of a Korean slicer cucumber. High-throughput QTL-seq combined with bulked segregation analysis of two pools with the extreme phenotypes (white and light-green fruit skin color) in an F₂ population identified two significant genomic regions harboring QTLs for white fruit skin color within the genomic region between 34.1 and 41.67 Mb on chromosome 3, and the genomic region between 12.2 and 12.7 Mb on chromosome 5. Further, nonsynonymous SNPs were identif
