Abstract:

To explore the construction of a high-density genetic map of Luffa spp. and to identify the genetic loci for fruit length variation, a BC1 population of 67 individuals was developed by crossing two inbred lines, Luffa acutangula ‘Shengyou’ and L. cylindrica ‘Pingguo’, with significant differences in fruit length. A high-density interspecific genetic map of Luffa spp. was constructed using the bin markers based on whole genome resequencing. The map consisted of 9 299 bin markers distributed in 14 linkage groups spanning 2 956.57 cM (about 80.47% of the Luffa cylindrica genome) with an average genetic distance of 0.32 cM. Combined with the genetic map, the MQM model in MapQTL 6 software was used to detect QTL for fruit length in Luffa spp. A QTL locus qFL1.1 for fruit length in Luffa spp. was mapped between markers scaf1-bin33 (19.76 cM) and scaf1-bin359 (92.84 cM) on linkage group Scaf 1. The LOD of qFL1.1 was 4.21, the contribution rate was 28.90% and the additive effect was 6.04. The results provided a theoretical basis for genetic mining based on the interspecific genetic map in Luffa spp.
