摘要： Pericarp color is a crucial commercial trait influencing consumer preferences for bitter gourds. However, until now, the gene responsible for this trait has remained unidentified. In this study, we identified a gene (McAPRR2) controlling pericarp color via a genome-wide association study (GWAS) utilizing the resequencing data of 106 bitter gourd accessions. McAPRR2 exhibits three primary haplotypes: Hap1 is a wild type with a green pericarp, Hap2 is a SA (South Asian) and SEA (Southeast Asia) type with a green pericarp, and Hap3 is primarily a SEA type with a light green pericarp. The McAPRR2 haplotype is significantly correlated with both pericarp color and ecological type. Importantly, McAPRR2 with the light green pericarp demonstrated premature termination due to a 15 bp sequence insertion. The phylogenetic tree clustered according to pericarp color and ecological type, using SNPs located in the McAPRR2 gene and its promoter. High pi wild/SEA and pi SA/SEA values indicate high nucleotide diversity between wild and SEA types and between SA and SEA types in the McAPRR2 gene. The haplotypes, phylogenetic tree, and nucleotide diversity of McAPRR2 suggest that McAPRR2 has undergone domestication selection. This study identifies McAPRR2 as the key gene determining pericarp color in bitter gourds and introduces a novel insight that McAPRR2 is subject to domestication selection.
