Using RAPD marker analysis, two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with earliness due to reduced fruit-ripening time (days from anthesis to ripening = DTR) were identified and mapped in an F-2 population derived from a cross between Lycopersicon esculentum 'E6203' (normal ripening) and Lycopersicon esculentum 'Early Cherry' (early ripening). One QTL, on chromosome 5, was associated with a reduction in both ripening time (5 days) and fruit weight (29.3%) and explained 15.8 and 13% of the total phenotypic variation for DTR and fruit weight, respectively The other QTL, on chromosome 12, was primarily associated with a reduction only in ripening time (7 days) and explained 12.3% of the total phenotypic variation for DTR. The gene action at this QTL was found to be partially dominant (d/a=0.41). Together, these two QTLs explained 25.1% of the total phenotypic variation for DTR. Additionally, two QTLs associated with fruit weight were identified in the same F-2 population and mapped to chromosomes 4 and 6, respectively. Together, these two QTLs explained 30.9% of the total phenotype variation for fruit weight. For all QTLs, the 'Early Cherry' alleles caused reductions in both ripening time and fruit weight. The poly morphic band for the most significant RAPD marker (OPAB-06), linked to the reduced ripening time QTL on chromosome 12, was converted to a cleaved amplified polymorphism (CAP) assay for marker-aided selection and further introgression of early ripening time (DTR) into cultivated tomato.
