Abstract

This study focused on cucumbers' multi-pistillate flower (MPF) trait, which is essential for high yields. A genetic linkage map was constructed using a population of 219 F₂ plants to analyze quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with MPF traits. Crossbreeding of EWSCU-809 (MPF) with EWSCU-989 (single pistillate flower: SPF) generated an F₁ hybrid that self-pollinated to form an F₂ population. Based on 244 single nucleotide polymorphic markers across seven cucumber chromosomes, a linkage map facilitated QTL analysis considering average pistillate flowers (PFs) per node and nodes with MPF traits. The results indicated a 9:6:1 epistatic ratio in the F₂ populations, revealing recessive allele control of the MPF trait in gynoecious plants. Three QTLs (qMP2.1, qMP3, qMP7) on chromosomes 2, 3, and 7 were associated with average PFs per node, explaining 5.6 to 10.3% of phenotypic variation. Four QTLs (qMP2.2, qMP3, qMP4, qMP7) on chromosomes 2, 3, 4, and 7 were linked to the presence of nodes with MPF traits, explaining 5.8 to 10.6% of phenotypic variance. Notably, QTL regions overlapped between the two datasets, suggesting pleiotropic effects, particularly on chromosomes 3 and 7. These reliable QTLs have the potential to improve breeding programs, enhance PF development, and increase cucumber yields.

黄瓜 F2 群体中每节雌花和多雌花性状的遗传图谱和数量性状位点分析。

本研究的重点是黄瓜的多雌花（MPF）性状，该性状对黄瓜的高产至关重要。利用 219 株 F2 群体构建了遗传连锁图谱，以分析与 MPF 性状相关的数量性状位点（QTL）。EWSCU-809（MPF）与EWSCU-989（单雌花：SPF）杂交产生了一个F1杂种，该杂种通过自花授粉形成了一个F2群体。基于 7 条黄瓜染色体上的 244 个单核苷酸多态性标记，考虑到每个节点的平均雌花（PFs）和具有 MPF 性状的节点，连锁图谱促进了 QTL 分析。结果表明，F2 群体中的外显率为 9:6:1，揭示了雌雄同株中 MPF 性状的隐性等位基因控制。染色体 2、3 和 7 上的三个 QTL（qMP2.1、qMP3 和 qMP7）与每节平均 PFs 有关，解释了 5.6% 至 10.3% 的表型变异。染色体 2、3、4 和 7 上的四个 QTL（qMP2.2、qMP3、qMP4、qMP7）与具有 MPF 性状的节点的存在有关，解释了 5.8% 至 10.6% 的表型变异。值得注意的是，两个数据集之间的 QTL 区域重叠，表明存在多效应，尤其是在 3 号和 7 号染色体上。这些可靠的 QTLs 有潜力改进育种计划、促进 PF 的发展并提高黄瓜产量。
