“…These genotyping through sequencing methods constitute a really powerful tools to increase precision and accelerate al., 2016b). Thus, to track and easily introgress the alleles involved in the content of CGA (phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), cinnamate 4-hydroxilase (C4H), 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA ligase (4CL), hydroxycinnamoyl-coA shikimate/quinate hydroxycinnamoil transferase (HCT), pcoumaroyl ester 3'-hydroxylase (C3'H), and hydroxycinnamoyl CoA quinate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HQT)) in the genetic background of eggplant, they were successfully mapped in different LGs using 91 BC1 individuals (Gramazio et al, 2014). In addition, five polyphenol oxidase enzymes (PPO1, PPO2, PPO3, PPO4, PPO5), which may be involved in the browning of the fruit flesh by oxidation of GCA and other phenols, mapped in a cluster in LG 8, as well as, candidate genes important in domestication such as fruit shape (OVATE, SISUN1) and prickliness.…”
