Abstract:

In this study,whole-genome resequencing was performed on Cerasus humilis cultivars‘Nongda 4'and‘DS-1'and their 208 F1 progeny in this study to construct the first high-density genetic linkage map of the C. humilis,and trait loci for fruit acidity were located by QTL mapping. The fruit titratable acid content of the‘Nongda 4'בDS-1'hybrid population showed a continuous normal distribution for two consecutive years,which was a quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes. The genetic map contained eight linked groups and 5 371 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers. The total genetic distance was 1 321.5 cM,with an average distance of 0.26 cM between markers. QTL mapping was performed based on titratable acid content in fruits. A total of 13 QTLs related to the titratable acid content of the fruits were identified,with a phenotypic variation contribution rate from 7.1% to 13.1%. Based on these results and transcriptome analysis,one structural gene(VHA-e1,linkage group LG3)and two transcription factors(MYB44 and bHLH148,LG1)significantly related to fruit acidity were screened.

Key words: Cerasus humilis, fruit acidity, re-sequencing, genetic map, quantitative trait locus mapping
