摘要: Chinese cabbage varieties with orange inner leaves are of interest due to their attractive appearance and high carotenoid content. Previously, a recessive locus, Br-or, that confers this trait was mapped to linkage group A09 in Brassica rapa, and Bra031539 was identified as the candidate gene. We used a backcross population consisting of 1,392 individuals for fine mapping; three linked markers delimited the Br-or locus to a region of 9.47 kb, which contained only one predicted functional gene, Bra031539 (the carotenoid isomerase gene BrCRTISO). We identified two bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones carrying Br-or and confirmed that this allele of BrCRTISO confers the mutant phenotype by sequencing. Many DNA sequence variations are present in Br-or, including a 90-bp DNA deletion in the promoter and a 501-bp insertion at the 3' end of the gene. GUS staining showed that the spatial expression of BrCRTISO was perfectly coincident with the site of carotenoid synthesis and that the 90-bp deletion in the promoter slightly downregulated expression of the gene. Using an in vitro enzyme assay, we showed that the mutant Br-or protein cannot convert prolycopene to all-trans-lycopene. Light has a positive effect on the expression of carotenoid biosynthesis genes, except for beta-ring carotene hydroxylase (CHXB), and this coincided with the increase in total lycopene and beta-carotene in the Br-or mutant. We also demonstrated that loss of BrCRTISO function, upregulation of the upstream genes, and downregulation of downstream genes lead to the accumulation of prolycopene and confer an orange color to the inner head leaves in Chinese cabbage.
