| description | In flowering plants, bolting signals the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, and it is consequently an important agronomic trait for the stalk-use Chinese cabbage Baicaitai. There is an urgent need to create germplasm resources for Chinese cabbage that have easy bolting characteristics. In this investigation, early bolting mutant 6 (ebm6) was created by treating Chinese cabbage double haploid (DH) 'FT' seeds with an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) solution. Phenotypic analysis showed that the mutant ebm6 flowered remarkably earlier than the wild-type 'FT'. Genetic analysis indicated that this early bolting trait was controlled by a recessive nuclear gene. In mutant ebm6, the causal gene BraA02g003340.3C (BrFLC2) was predicted using MutMap and Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR genotyping (KASP), as the gene encodes a MADS-box transcription factor. The 3259-bp BrFLC2 gene possessed seven exons and six introns, and in the first exon, a single nucleotide C-to-T substitution in the highly conserved MADS-box domain resulted in the premature termination of translation of the BrFLC2 protein sequence. This research supported a critical role of BrFLC2 in controlling flowering time in B. rapa. The early flowering ebm6 mutant could also be a useful material in Baicaitai breeding. |
