Fine mapping of pepper trichome locus 1 controlling trichome formation in Capsicum annuum L. CM334.
Trichomes are present on nearly all land plants and protect plants against insect herbivores, drought and UV radiation. The trichome-bearing phenotype is conferred by the dominant allele of the pepper trichome locus 1 (Ptl1) in Capsicum annuum, Mexican 'Criollo de Morelos-334' (CM334). A genetic analysis using simple sequence repeats from pepper cDNA identified the HpmsE031 marker as tightly linked to Ptl1 in 653 individuals of an F(2) population derived from a cross between CM334 and Chilsungcho varieties. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library from CM334 covering 12x of the genome was screened using the HpmsE031 SSR marker as a probe and three BAC clones were identified. The Ptl1 region was covered by one 80 kb BAC clone, TT1B7. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed that TT1B7 localized to pepper chromosome 10. One co-dominant marker, Tco, and one dominant marker, Tsca, were successfully developed from the TT1B7 BAC sequence. Tco mapped 0.33 cM up from Ptl1 and Tsca mapped 0.75 cM down from Ptl1. Analysis of the BAC sequence predicts the presence of 14 open reading frames including 60S ribosomal protein L21-like protein (Solanum demissum), protein kinase 2 (Nicotiana tabacum), hypothetical proteins, and unnamed protein products. These results will provide not only useful information for map-based cloning of Ptl1 in Capsicum but also the starting points for analysis of R-gene cluster inked with Ptl1.
