Abstract:

Petal color is an important ornamental trait in B. napus, and the breeding and improvement of petal color have become the main goal in breeding and genetic research. To date, the research about interval location of pink petal trait in B. napus is very less yet. In this study, the genetic basis of petal phenotype was examined in the 62 (yellow petal) and 77 (pink petal) parents as well as 114 individuals comprising the doubled haploid (DH) mapping population. This DH population was examined using genotyping by sequencing (GBS) with 6065 high-density polymorphism single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to construct a genetic linkage map comprised of 3253 polymorphic markers. The genetic map spanned 1766.06 cM, with an average distance of 0.54 cM between markers. The complete interval mapping method identified two quantitative trait loci (QTL) for petal color located on chromosomes A07 and C03, respectively. Synteny analysis showed that some homologous genes in the interval of B. napus were located in Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea. Also, eight genes related to flower color were analyzed between inbred line 77 and inbred line 62, the splice junctions of BnaA07g15980D and BnaA07g17500D were belong to intron retention type in pink petal of 77 parent. This study lays a foundation for further research on fine mapping of pink petal trait and molecular marker-assisted selection in Brassica napus L.

Key words: Brassica napus L., pink petal trait, genetic linkage map, QTL mapping
