Erratum to: Association of molecular markers derived from the BrCRTISO1 gene with prolycopene-enriched orange-colored leaves in Brassica rapa

Abstract

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".

Fine mapping and candidate gene analysis of the white flower gene Brwf in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L.)

“…The functional disruption of BrCRTISO gene resulted in the orange head leaf formation in Chinese cabbage [41][42][43][44] . However, Lee et al 22 reported that 19 amino acid residue changes and deletion of two amino acid residues were found in the amino acid sequence of BrCRTISO from pale-yellow flower cultivar compared with that in yellow flower cultivar. In this study, Bra031539 encoding BrCRTISO was located in the final delimited genomic region of Brwf2.…”

“…The Brassica genus includes important oil crops and vegetables 15 with yellow flower color as the most common form, while there are other colors, such as pale yellow, white, orange, and tangerine [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . Compared with the studies of other traits in Brassica genus, such as yield [23][24][25][26][27][28] , fertility [29][30][31][32] , disease resistance [33][34][35] , the genetic studies of flower colors have been conducted earlier 16,17,36 .…”

“…Recently, a few genes controlling flower colors have been reported. For example, a carotenoid isomerase gene (CRTISO) related to pale yellow flower in B. rapa 22 and a carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4 gene (CCD4) associated with white flower in B. napus 11 and B. oleracea [12][13][14] were cloned, respectively. In B. napus and B. oleracea, a CACTA-like transposable element insertion caused disruption of CCD4 11,13,14 and CCD4 from white-flowered line could rescue the petal color of yellow-flowered line 11,12 .…”

Fine mapping and characterization of the or gene in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp pekinensis)

“…The tangerine mutant in tomato has a deletion in CRTISO and accumulates prolycopene instead of all-translycopene, resulting in orange fruit (Isaacson et al, 2002). The mutation of BrCRTISO1 in Chinese cabbage was predicted to cause the orange-color trait (Lee et al, 2014). Based on the above result, we also predict that Bra031539 is the target gene that controls the orange head character in Chinese cabbage.…”

“…The sequence variations result in 19 amino acid modifications. Lee et al (2014) proposed that methylation and secondary structures might exist to preclude transcription at the 3' end of BrCRTISO1 in the OC cultivar. A BAC library was developed to clone BrCRTISO in the orange head material.…”
