Genetic Mapping of green-stripe in Tomato

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has a high level of genetic variation in fruit color, which is an important quality trait considered by breeders and consumers. The stripe color pattern determined the green (gs) locus observed only peel tissue tomato. Using two different F2 populations (351 97 individuals), we mapped gs to long arm chromosome 7 found that it cosegregated with TOMATO AGAMOUS-LIKE 1 (TAGL1). Association analysis using TAGL1-specific derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (dCAPS) marker distinguished 118 non-green-striped 11 green-striped tomato cultivars. chlorophyll content peels (GSPs) was higher than light-green (LGPs), carotenoid red (RPs) yellow-striped (YSPs). Although did not find sequence promoter coding regions TAGL1 between non-striped striped tomatoes, expression YSPs lower RPs. Therefore, differential may contribute patterning. Marker-assisted selection TAGL1- specific identified here will facilitate breeding patterning
