Construction of a High-Density Recombination Bin-Based Genetic Map Facilitates High-Resolution Mapping of a Major QTL Underlying Anthocyanin Pigmentation in Eggplant.

ABSTRACT: High-density genetic maps can significantly improve the resolution of QTL mapping. We constructed a high-density recombination bin-based genetic map of eggplant based on 200 F₂ plants from an interspecific cross (Solanum melongena × S. incanum) using the whole genome resequencing strategy. The map was 2022.8 cM long, covering near 99% of the eggplant genome. The map contained 3776 bins, with 3644 (96.5%) being effective (position non-redundant) ones, giving a nominal average distance of 0.54 cM and an effective average distance of 0.56 cM between adjacent bins, respectively. Using this map and 172 F_2:3 lines, a major QTL with pleiotropic effects on two anthocyanin pigmentation-related traits, leaf vein color (LVC) and fruit pericarp color (FPC), was steadily detected in a bin interval of 2.28 cM (or 1.68 Mb) on chromosome E10 in two cropping seasons, explaining ~65% and 55% of the phenotypic variation in LVC and FPC, respectively. Genome-wide association analysis in this population validated the QTL and demonstrated the correctness of mapping two bins of chromosome E02 onto E10. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that a WDR protein gene inside the bin interval with reliable effective variation between the two parents could be a possible candidate gene of the QTL.

Project description:BackgroundPurple carrots accumulate large quantities of anthocyanins in their roots and leaves. These flavonoid pigments possess antioxidant activity and are implicated in providing health benefits. Informative, saturated linkage maps associated with well characterized populations segregating for anthocyanin pigmentation have not been developed. To investigate the genetic architecture conditioning anthocyanin pigmentation we scored root color visually, quantified root anthocyanin pigments by high performance liquid chromatography in segregating F2, F3 and F4 generations of a mapping population, mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) onto a dense gene-derived single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based linkage map, and performed comparative trait mapping with two unrelated populations.ResultsRoot pigmentation, scored visually as presence or absence of purple coloration, segregated in a pattern consistent with a two gene model in an F2, and progeny testing of F3-F4 families confirmed the proposed genetic model. Purple petiole pigmentation was conditioned by a single dominant gene that co-segregates with one of the genes conditioning root pigmentation. Root total pigment estimate (RTPE) was scored as the percentage of the root with purple color.All five anthocyanin glycosides previously reported in carrot, as well as RTPE, varied quantitatively in the F2 population. For the purpose of QTL analysis, a high resolution gene-derived SNP-based linkage map of carrot was constructed with 894 markers covering 635.1 cM with a 1.3 cM map resolution. A total of 15 significant QTL for all anthocyanin pigments and for RTPE mapped to six chromosomes. Eight QTL with the largest phenotypic effects mapped to two regions of chromosome 3 with co-localized QTL for several anthocyanin glycosides and for RTPE. A single dominant gene conditioning anthocyanin acylation was identified and mapped.Comparative mapping with two other carrot populations segregating for purple color indicated that carrot anthocyanin pigmentation is controlled by at least three genes, in contrast to monogenic control reported previously.ConclusionsThis study generated the first high resolution gene-derived SNP-based linkage map in the Apiaceae. Two regions of chromosome 3 with co-localized QTL for all anthocyanin pigments and for RTPE, largely condition anthocyanin accumulation in carrot roots and leaves. Loci controlling root and petiole anthocyanin pigmentation differ across diverse carrot genetic backgrounds.
