Carotenoids including violaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, b-cryptoxanthin, and b-carotene were assessed in the F2:3 seeds via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In the ‘CDC Jade’ × ‘CDC Frontier’ population, 1068 bin markers derived from the 50K Axiom CicerSNP array were mapped onto eight linkage groups (LGs). Eight QTLs, including two each for b-carotene and zeaxanthin and one each for total carotenoids, b-cryptoxanthin, b-carotene, and violaxanthin were identified in this population. In the ‘CDC Cory’ × ‘CDC Jade’ population, 694 bin markers were mapped onto eight LGs and one partial LG. Quantitative trait loci for b-cryptoxanthin, b-carotene, violaxanthin, lutein, and total carotenoids were identified on LG8. A map with eight LGs was developed from 581 bin markers in the third population derived from the ‘ICC4475’ × ‘CDC Jade’ cross. One QTL for b-carotene and four QTLs, one each for b-cryptoxanthin, b-carotene, lutein, and total carotenoids, were identified in this population. The highest phenotypic variation explained by the QTLs was for b-carotene, which ranged from 58 to 70% in all three populations. A major gene for cotyledon color was mapped on LG8 in each population. A significant positive correlation between cotyledon color and carotenoid concentration was observed. Potential candidate genes associated with carotenoid components were obtained and their locations on the chickpea genome are presented. date: 2019-11 date_type: published publication: The Plant Genome (TSI) volume: 12 number: 3 publisher: Crop Science Society of America pagerange: 1-12 id_number: 10.3835/plantgenome2019.07.0067 refereed: TRUE issn: 1940-3372 official_url: https://doi.org/10.3835/plantgenome2019.07.0067 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Mapping+Quantitative+Trait+Loci+for+Carotenoid+Concentration+in+Three+F2+Populations+of+Chickpea&btnG= related_url_type: pub funders: Saskatchewan Pulse Growers funders: The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture funders: Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship citation: Rezaei, M K and Deokar, A A and Arganosa, G and Roorkiwal, M and Pandey, S K and Warkentin, T D and Varshney, R K and Tar′an, B (2019) Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci for Carotenoid Concentration in Three F2 Populations of Chickpea.
