Genetic Mapping and Identification of the Candidate Genes for Mottled Rind in Cucumis melo L.

The rind appearance of melon is one of the most vital commercial quality traits which determines the preferences and behavior of consumers toward the consumption of melon. In this study, we constructed an F2 population derived from SC (mottled rind) and MG (non-mottled rind) lines for mapping the mo...

In this study, we constructed an F2 population derived from SC (mottled rind) and MG (non-mottled rind) lines for mapping the mottled rind gene(s) in melon.

A Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) DNA marker (CmAPRR2SNP(G/T)) was developed and shown to co-segregate with rind color, confirming that CmAPRR2 was CmMt1. Using bulked segregant analysis sequencing and KASP assays, CmMt2 was fine-mapped to an interval of 40.6 kb with six predicted genes. Functional annotation, expression analysis, and sequence variation analyses confirmed that AtCPSFL1 homolog, MELO3C026282, was the most likely candidate gene for CmMt2.
