Key messageBrKCS6encoding 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases was cloned through MutMap and KASP analysis, and its function was verified via allelic mutants in Chinese cabbage.AbstractBright and glossy green appearance is an attractive commodity character for leafy vegetables and is mainly caused by the absence of epicuticular wax crystals. In this study, two allelic epicuticular wax crystal deficiency mutants,wdm9andwdm10,were obtained from an EMS mutagenesis population of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapaL. ssp.pekinensis). Genetic analysis revealed that the mutant phenotype was controlled by a recessive nuclear gene.BrKCS6encoding 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases was identified as the candidate gene by MutMap and KASP analysis. A SNP (G to A) onBrKCS6inwdm9led to the amino acid substitution from serine (S) to phenylalanine (F), and another SNP (G to A) inwdm10resulted in the amino acid substitution from serine (S) to leucine (L). Both SNPs are located in the ACP_syn_III_C conserved domain, corresponding to two highly conserved sites among BrKCS6 and its homologs. These two amino acid substitutions changed the secondary structure and the three-dimensional structure of BrKCS6 protein. qRT-PCR results showed that the relative expression ofBrKCS6significantly decreased in the flower, stem, and leaves in mutant, and the relative expressions of the downstream key genes ofBrKCS6were down-regulated in mutant. We were the first to clone the precious glossy bright geneBrKCS6which has a great potential for commodity quality breeding in Chinese cabbage.
