Genetic mapping of QTLs controlling brown seed coat traits by genome resequencing in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sesame seeds have become an irreplaceable source of edible oils and food products with rich nutrients and a unique flavor, and their metabolite contents and physiological functions vary widely across different seed coat colors. Although the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for genetic variation in seed coat color have been extensively investigated, the identification of unique genetic loci for intermediate colors such as brown has not been reported due to their complexity.

Methods

Here, we crossed the white sesame 'Yuzhi No. 8' (YZ8) and the brown sesame 'Yanzhou Erhongpi' (YZEHP) to construct a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population with consecutive self-fertilization for ten generations.

Results

The selfed F1 seeds were brown which was controlled by a d
