However, the genetic mechanism underlying FF is unclear. Here, a soft fruit melon(P5) and a hard fruit melon(P10) were crossed to generate F2, and the FF and fruit-related traits were recorded for two years. By performing quantitative trait locus(QTL) specificlocus amplified fragment(SLAF)(QTL-SLAF) sequencing and molecular marker-linkage analysis, 112 844 SLAF markers were identified, and 5 919 SNPs were used to construct a genetic linkage map with a total genetic distance of1 356.49 cM. Ten FF-and fruit-related QTLs were identified. Consistent QTLs were detected for fruit length(FL) and fruit diameter(FD) in both years, and QTLs for single fruit weight(SFW) were detected on two separate chromosomes in both years. For FF, the consistent major locus(ff2.1) was located in a 0.17-Mb candidate region on chromosome 2. Using 429 F2individuals derived from a cross between P5 and P10, we refined the ff2.1 locus to a 28.3-kb region harboring three functional genes. These results provide not only a new candidate QTL for melon FF breeding but also a theoretical foundation for research on the mechanism underlying melon gene function.展开更多
文摘【目的】挖掘与华山松球果数量相关的基因。【方法】以华山松球果数量性状表型数据筛选华山松高、低球果数量单株,利用前期已开发的单核苷酸多态性(single-nucleotide polymorphism,SNP)标记结合表型数据进行全基因组关联分析(genome-wide association study,GWAS),构建华山松样品的系统发育树,发掘与华山松球果数量性状相关的SNP标记与候选基因,并进一步分析筛选出的基因在华山松针叶、木质部、韧皮部、树皮、幼嫩球果和树根的qPCR基因组织特异性表达。【结果】系统发育树显示:同一种源的单株基本处于相近的位置,而来自巍山的单株广泛分布于各个群体中,与主成分分析结果基本一致。全基因组关联分析共检测到12个与球果数量显著关联的SNP位点,其中,Marker193307的序列与纤维素合成相关基因Korrigan (KOR1,编码跨膜内切β-1,4-D葡聚糖酶)的序列相似度较高(74.74%)。qPCR基因组织特异性表达分析结果显示:该基因在华山松枝条韧皮部的表达量最高,幼嫩球果中次之,在根系的表达量最少,初步判断该基因与球果数量相关。【结论】华山松种源地相近的单株基本处于相近的位置。巍山种源的材料较其他种源拥有较为广泛的遗传变异。GWAS分析仅检索到1个与植物纤维素合成相关的基因(KOR1),该基因可能参与球果数量性状的表达。
