This study focused on cucumbers' multi-pistillate flower (MPF) trait, which is essential for high yields. A genetic linkage map was constructed using a population of 219 F plants to analyze quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with MPF traits. Crossbreeding of EWSCU-809 (MPF) with EWSCU-989 (single pistillate flower: SPF) generated an F hybrid that self-pollinated to form an F population. Based on 244 single nucleotide polymorphic markers across seven cucumber chromosomes, a linkage map facilitated QTL analysis considering average pistillate flowers (PFs) per node and nodes with MPF traits. The results indicated a 9:6:1 epistatic ratio in the F populations, revealing recessive allele control of the MPF trait in gynoecious plants. Three QTLs (, , ) on chromosomes 2, 3, and 7 were associated with average PFs per node, explaining 5.6 to 10.3% of phenotypic variation. Four QTLs (, , , ) on chromosomes 2, 3, 4, and 7 were linked to the presence of nodes with MPF traits, explaining 5.8 to 10.6% of phenotypic variance. Notably, QTL regions overlapped between the two datasets, suggesting pleiotropic effects, particularly on chromosomes 3 and 7. These reliable QTLs have the potential to improve breeding programs, enhance PF development, and increase cucumber yields.
本研究聚焦于黄瓜的多雌蕊花(MPF)性状,该性状对高产至关重要。利用219株F植物群体构建了遗传连锁图谱,以分析与MPF性状相关的数量性状位点(QTL)。将EWSCU - 809(MPF)与EWSCU - 989(单雌蕊花:SPF)杂交产生F1杂种,并使其自花授粉形成F2群体。基于跨越黄瓜七条染色体的244个单核苷酸多态性标记,一张连锁图谱有助于考虑每个节位平均雌蕊花(PFs)和具有MPF性状的节位进行QTL分析。结果表明F2群体中存在9:6:1的上位性比例,揭示了雌性系植物中MPF性状受隐性等位基因控制。2号、3号和7号染色体上的三个QTL(,,)与每个节位的平均PFs相关,解释了5.6%至10.3%的表型变异。2号、3号、4号和7号染色体上的四个QTL(,,,)与具有MPF性状的节位存在相关,解释了5.8%至10.6%的表型变异。值得注意的是,两个数据集中的QTL区域存在重叠,表明存在多效性效应,特别是在3号和7号染色体上。这些可靠的QTL有潜力改进育种计划、促进PF发育并提高黄瓜产量。
