Abstract:

With the increasing size of edible peanuts market, the quality characteristics of edible peanuts have attracted much attention. Sweetness is an important indicator affecting the flavor and taste of edible peanuts, and it mainly comes from sucrose. Increasing sucrose content is the key to the edible peanuts cultivation, and QTL mapping for sucrose content will lay a foundation for molecular breeding of high sucrose content. However, the increase of sucrose content may affect protein and oil content. In this study, a recombinant inbred line population derived from the cross of Xuhua 13 and Zhonghua 6 was developed. The relationships between sucrose and protein as well as oil content were investigated, and QTLs for sucrose content were mapped. The results showed that sucrose content was not significantly correlated with protein content but there was extremely significantly negatively correlated with the content. Sucrose content presented board phenotypic variations among the RILs, ranging from 14.33 mg g-1 to 61.42 mg g-1. Two lines with high protein, low oil content, and medium sucrose content were observed. Ten QTLs on six chromosomes were detected with 4.56%-12.25% of phenotypic variation explained (PVE) among which qSUCA07 could be repeatedly detected in three environments. The results provide an important information for QTLs fine mapping of sucrose content and cultivating edible peanut varieties with excellent traits.

Key words: peanut, oil content, protein content, sucrose content, quantitative trait locus
