Key messageUsing bulked segregant analysis combined with next-generation sequencing, we delimited theBrnye1gene responsible for the stay-green trait ofnyein pakchoi. Sequence analysis identifiedBra019346as the candidate gene.Abstract“Stay-green” refers to a plant trait whereby leaves remain green during senescence. This trait is useful in the cultivation of pakchoi (Brassica campestrisL. ssp.chinensis), which is marketed as a green leaf product. This study aimed to identify the gene responsible for the stay-green trait in pakchoi. We identified a stay-green mutant in pakchoi, which we termed “nye”. Genetic analysis revealed that the stay-green trait is controlled by a single recessive gene,Brnye1. Using the BSA-seq method, a 3.0-Mb candidate region was mapped on chromosome A03, which helped us localizeBrnye1to an 81.01-kb interval between SSR markers SSRWN27 and SSRWN30 via linkage analysis in an F2population. We identified 12 genes in this region, 11 of which were annotated based on theBrassica rapaannotation database, and one was a functionally unknown gene. An orthologous gene of theArabidopsisgeneAtNYE1,Bra019346, was identified as the potential candidate forBrnye1. Sequence analysis revealed a 40-bp insertion in the second exon ofBra019346innye, which generated the TAA stop codon. A candidate gene-specific Indel marker in 1561 F2individuals showed perfect cosegregation withBrnye1in thenyemutant. These results provide a foundation for uncovering the molecular mechanism of the stay-green trait in pakchoi.
