摘要: Key message Map-based cloning was used to identify the BrWAX2 gene, which was involved in the cuticular wax biosynthesis. The malfunction of BrWAX2 together with other reduced expression of genes in alkane-forming pathway caused the glossy phenotype. Cuticular wax covering the outer plant surface plays various roles in protecting against biotic and abiotic stresses. Wax-less mutant shows glossy in stem and leaf surface and plays important roles in enriching Chinese cabbage germplasm resources for breeding brilliant green varieties. However, genes responsible for the glossy trait in Chinese cabbage are rarely reported. In this study, we identified a glossy Chinese cabbage line Y1211-1. Genetic analysis indicated that the glossy trait in Y1211-1 was controlled by a single recessive locus, BrWAX2 (Brassica rapa WAX 2). Using bulked segregant sequencing (BSA-Seq) and kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) assays, BrWAX2 was fine-mapped to an interval of 100.78 kb. Functional annotation analysis, expression analysis, and sequence variation analysis revealed that Bra032670, homologous to CER1 in Arabidopsis, was the most likely candidate gene for BrWAX2. The gene Bra032670 was absent in glossy mutant. Cuticular wax composition analysis and RNA-Seq analysis suggested that the absence of BrWAX2 together with the decreased expression of other genes in alkane-forming pathway reduced the wax amount and caused the glossy phenotype. Furthermore, we developed and validated the functional marker BrWAX2-sp for BrWAX2. Overall, these results provide insight into the molecular mechanism underlying cuticular wax biosynthesis and reveal valuable information for marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding in Chinese cabbage.
