Abstract: | Capsicum baccatum L., one of five domesticated species of Capsicum, is a valuable species in chili pepper breeding. In particular, it is a source of disease resistance against anthracnose and powdery mildew. Genetic maps and molecular markers are important to improve the efficiency of crop breeding programs. Recently, using genetic maps several researchers have identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for important horticultural traits and have cloned genes of interest. In this study, we constructed a genetic map of C. baccatum in an intraspecific population from a cross between ‘Golden-aji’ and ‘PI594137.’ A total of 395 high-resolution melting markers were developed based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms identified by comparing genome sequences generated through next-generation resequencing of the parents, ‘Golden-aji’ and ‘PI594137.’ The genetic linkage map contained 12 linkage groups, covered a total distance of 1056.2 cM, and had an average distance of 2.67 cM between markers. In addition, the final map was compared to the reference physical map of C. annuum ‘CM334.’ Interestingly, two major reciprocal translocations between chromosomes 3 and 5 and between chromosomes 3 and 9 were found, suggesting that these translocations might act as a genetic barrier between C. annuum and C. baccatum. Translocations between chromosomes 1 and 8 were also observed, as were previously reported in C. chinense, C. frutescens, and wild C. annuum. The synteny of other chromosomes was maintained, on the whole, except for several small inversions. The information on this genetic map will be helpful to analyze QTLs for important traits such as anthracnose resistance in C. baccatum and to study the causes of genetic barriers between C. annuum and C. baccatum. |
