Abstract:Rind color is an economically important agronomic trait in eggplant that impacts consumer preferences. However, the gene(s) regulating eggplant rind color have not been characterized. In this study, bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) were employed to identify a candidate gene for eggplant rind color through constructing an F2 population generated from a cross between 'BL01' (green pericarp) and 'B1' (white pericarp). Genetic analysis of rind color revealed that a single … Show more
