description | Chinese cabbage is a leafy vegetable, and its leaves are the main edible organs. The formation of trichomes on the leaves can significantly affect its taste, so studying this phenomenon is of great significance for improving the quality of Chinese cabbage. In this study, two varieties of Chinese cabbage, W30 with trichome leaves and 082 with glabrous leaves, were crossed to generate F<sub>1</sub> and F<sub>1</sub> plants, which were self-fertilized to develop segregating populations with trichome or glabrous morphotypes. The two bulks of the different segregating populations were used to conduct bulked segregant analysis (BSA). A total of 293.4 M clean reads were generated from the samples, and plants from the trichome leaves (AL) bulk and glabrous leaves (GL) bulk were identified. Between the two DNA pools generated from the trichome and glabrous plants, 55,048 SNPs and 272 indels were generated. In this study, three regions (on chromosomes 6, 10 and scaffold000100) were identified, and the annotation revealed three candidate genes that may participate in the formation of leaf trichomes. These findings suggest that the three genes—<i>Bra025087</i> encoding a cyclin family protein, <i>Bra035000</i> encoding an ATP-binding protein/kinase/protein kinase/protein serine/threonine kinase and <i>Bra033370</i> encoding a WD-40 repeat family protein–influence the formation of trichomes by participating in trichome morphogenesis (GO: 0010090). These results demonstrate that BSA can be used to map genes associated with traits and provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of leafy trichome formation in Chinese cabbage. |
