Sequence polymorphism in BrCRTISO1, encoding carotenoid isomerase, is identified in orange-colored B. rapa , and three resulting gene-based markers will be useful for marker-assisted breeding of OC cultivars. Carotenoids are color pigments that are important for protection against excess light in plants and essential sources of retinols and vitamin A for animals. We identified a single recessive gene that might cause orange-colored (OC) inner leaves in Brassica rapa. The inner leaves of the OC cultivar were enriched in lycopene-like compounds, specifically prolycopene and its isomers, which can be a useful functional trait for Kimchi cabbage. We used a candidate gene approach based on the 21 genes in the carotenoid pathway to identify a candidate gene responsible for the orange color. Among them, we focused on two carotenoid isomerase (CRTISO) genes, BrCRTISO1 and BrCRTISO2. The expression of BrCRTISO1 was higher than that of BrCRTISO2 in a normal yellow-colored (YE) cultivar, but full-length BrCRTISO1 transcripts were not detected in the OC cultivar. Genomic sequence analysis revealed that BrCRTISO1 of the OC cultivar had many sequence variations, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions and deletions (InDels), compared to that of the YE cultivar. We developed molecular makers for the identification of OC phenotype based on the polymorphic regions within BrCRTISO1 in B. rapa breeding. The BrCRTISO1 gene and its markers identified in this study are novel genetic resources and will be useful for studying the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway as well as developing new cultivars with unique carotenoid contents in Brassica species.
In the original version of article, the title was published incorrectly. The correct title should read as "Association of molecular markers derived from the BrCRTISO1 gene with prolycopene-enriched orange-colored leaves in Brassica rapa".
It is safe and light because it uses carbon/glass fiber reinforced plastics (hereinafter referred to as C/GFRP) through this technological development. Moreover, sunlight LED luminous bollard, which was harmonized with the surrounding environment with diverse colors, was developed. Luminous bollard can reduce its weight and also increase its strength by adjusting the intensity and thickness of a product customized for each usage on the basis of the characteristics of C/GFRP composite. In addition, C/GFRP and steel pipe were compared for the compression test in order to compare the objective rigidity. As a result, this study could obtain a positive result graph of luminous bollard. To develop luminous bollard, the composite development process was configured through a fixture of pullout and filament winding. Diverse colors can be applied to luminous bollard. Hence, it is possible to select a color customized for each region. It is also possible to create an aesthetic harmony with a surrounding environment through LED lamps at night. The pipe, which was 50 percent lighter than stainless and also which had excellent tensile strength, was designed to develop the bollard that has superior convenience in terms of construction, maintenance and repair.
