摘要： Key message A single nucleotide mutation of BoCER2 is the primary cause of the wax deficiency in cabbage. An effective allele-specific KASP marker was developed for marker-assisted selection of glossiness. TL28-1 is a novel spontaneous wax-deficient mutant with a glossy phenotype identified from cabbage. In this study, the genetic analysis suggested that the wax-deficient trait of TL28-1 was controlled by a single recessive gene. All wax monomers longer than 28 carbons were significantly decreased in TL28-1. Fine-mapping results showed that the wax-deficient locus wdtl28 was located at an 80-kb interval between BOL01-20 and BOL01-24 markers on chromosome 1. According to the genome annotation of B. oleracea, the ECERIFERUM2- LIKE (CER2-LIKE) gene, BoCER2, was identified as the candidate gene. Phylogenetic analysis showed that BoCER2 and other CER2-LIKEs from vascular plants formed a clade within the BAHD superfamily of acyltransferases. The BoCER2 transcript was detected in various tissues, including stem, leaf, flower, and silique, but not in the cabbage roots. Subcellular localization indicated that BoCER2 protein functions in the endoplasmic reticulum. Further sequence analysis showed that a single nucleotide mutation (G to A) is present in the BoCER2 coding sequence in TL28-1, leading to a stop codon (TGA), hence premature translation termination. Linkage analysis showed that the homozygotic mutational BoCER2 co-segregated with wax deficiency. Moreover, the complementation test suggested that BoCER2 from wild type can rescue the wax deficiency of TL28-1. These results indicate that BoCER2 mutation hinders the elongation of very-long-chain fatty acid precursors in TL28-1, leading to wax deficiency. The allele-specific KASP marker designed in this study could be effective for marker-assisted selection of glossiness.
