Mapping of genetic loci that regulate quantity of beta-carotene

ORIGINAL PAPER Mapping of genetic loci that regulate quantity of beta-carotene in fruit of US Western Shipping melon (Cucumis melo L.) H. E. Cuevas ? J. E. Staub ? P. W. Simon ? J. E. Zalapa ? J. D. McCreight Received: 25 April 2008 / Accepted: 12 August 2008 / Published online: 5 September 2008 Springer-Verlag 2008 Abstract Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is highly nutritious vegetable species and an important source of b-carotene (Vitamin A), which is an important nutrient in the human diet. A previously developed set of 81 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Group Cantalupensis US Western Shipper market type germplasm was examined in two locations [Wisconsin (WI) and California (CA), USA] over 2 years to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with quantity of beta-carotene (QbC) in mature fruit. A moderately saturated 256-point RIL-based map [104 SSR, 7 CAPS, 4 SNP in putative carotenoid candidate genes, 140 dominant markers and one morphological trait (a) spanning 12 linkage groups (LG)] was used for QbC–QTL analysis. Eight QTL were detected in this evaluation that were dis- tributed across four LG that explained a significant portion of the associated phenotypic variation for QbC (R2 = 8 to 31.0%). Broad sense heritabilities for QbC obtained from RIL grown in WI. and CA were 0.56 and 0.68, respec- tively, and 0.62 over combined locations. The consistence of QbC in high/low RIL within location across years was confirmed in experiments conducted over 2 years. QTL map positions were not uniformly associated with putative carotenoid genes, although one QTL (b-car6.1) interval was located 10 cM from a b-carotene hydroxylase gene. These results suggest that accumulation of b-carotene in melon is under complex genetic control. This study pro- vides the initial step for defining the genetic control of QbC in melon leading to the development of varieties with enhanced b-carotene content. Introduction Carotenoids play essential functions in plants to include
