Résumé
A gene controlling golden flesh trait in watermelon was discovered and fine mapped to a 39.08 Kb region on chromosome 1 through a forward genetic strategy, and Cla97C01G008760 (annotated as phytoene synthase protein, ClPsy1 ) was recognized as the most likely candidate gene. Vitamin A deficiency is a worldwide public nutrition problem, and β-carotene is the precursor for vitamin A synthesis. Watermelon with golden flesh (gf, which occurs due to an accumulated abundance of β-carotene) is an important germplasm resource. In this study, a genetic analysis of segregated gf gene populations indicated that gf was controlled by a single recessive gene. BSA-seq (Bulked segregation analysis) and an initial linkage analysis placed the gf locus in a 290-Kb region on watermelon chromosome 1. Further fine mapping in a large population including over 1000 F
