Key messageMap-based cloning identifiedCmGLthat encodes a HD-ZIP type IV transcription factor that controls multicellular trichome initiation in melon.AbstractTrichomes are small hairs covering the aerial parts of plants that originate from the epidermal cells, which can protect plants against the damage by insects and pathogens. The regulatory pathway of unicellular trichomes has been well studied in the model plantArabidopsis. Little is known about the genetic control and regulation of trichome development in melon (Cucumis meloL.) which has multicellular trichomes. In this study, we identified a melon mutant,cmgl, which showed completely glabrous on all aerial organs. A bulked segregant analysis was conducted to identify polymorphic markers for linkage analysis in a population with 256 F2plants, which allowed to locate thecmgllocus in melon chromosome VIII. Next-generation sequencing-aided marker discovery and fine mapping in a large population with 1536 F2plants narrowed the candidate gene region to 12 kb that harbored only one candidate gene forcmgl, which encoded a class IV homeodomain-associated leucine zipper transcription factor. Four SNPs in the coding region of theCmGLgene were identified between the two parental lines; a single base substitution from C to A resulted in a premature termination codon and a truncated protein in thecmgl. The SNP was converted into a dCAPS marker, which showed co-segregation in the F2population and 564 melon accessions. Result of this study will be helpful for better understanding of genetic control of trichome development in melon and marker-assisted selection in developing new cultivars.
