Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of biomolecular detection and breeding, specifically involving primer pairs for amplifying the color gene of eggplant peel. Background Technology

[0002] eggplant( Solanum melongena Eggplant is an important vegetable crop widely cultivated in Asia and Africa. It boasts abundant germplasm resources and rich fruit shape polymorphism, making it an ideal material for studying fruit shape. Fruit shape is one of the main indicators of the commercial value of horticultural crops. Clarifying the genetic laws governing eggplant fruit shape can provide a basis for developing relevant molecular markers and breeding new varieties with fruit shapes preferred by consumers.

[0003] Anthocyanins are distributed in the vacuoles of plant cells, enabling certain plant organs to exhibit red, purple, blue, and other colors, and determining the flower color of most plants and the fruit color of some. Its basic structure is 3,5,7-hydroxy-2-phenylbenzopyran, and its precursor is phenylalanine. It is formed through a series of enzymatic reactions in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cytoplasm. Anthocyanin synthesis is regulated by both genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors include structural genes and regulatory factors in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway. Environmental factors include light, temperature, exogenous hormones, and stress factors.

[0004] Domestic and international scholars have conducted extensive research on the localization of genes controlling the purple peel color in eggplants and the development of linkage markers. Regarding the localization of these genes, they are currently generally studied as a qualitative trait. Some studies have found that these genes are located on chromosomes 10 and 12 of the eggplant. In terms of linkage marker development, scholars both domestically and internationally have developed many molecular markers linked to these genes, but the degree of tightness of linkage and their applicability still need improvement.
