Chinese Cabbage-pak-choi Transcriptome Map Construction with cDNAAFLP Techniques

Chinese cabbage-pak-choi (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino) transcriptome map with cDNA-AFLP techniques was constructed. The inbred line Aijiaohuang 97-3-2, the inbred line Baimanjing 001-24 of turnip [B. campestris ssp. rapifera (Matzg.) Sinsk] and 183 F6 (recombinant inbred population) plants were used as experimental materials. cDNAs were synthesized from total RNA extracted from young leaves at rosette stage. 256 pairs of cDNA-AFLP primers were used to detect the polymorphisms between parents Aijiaohuang 97-3-2 and Baimanjing 001-24. 56 pairs of cDNA-AFLP primers with high polymorphisms were screened from 256 pairs of primer by DNA-AFLP techniques. The genetic diversity of parents and 183 F6 progenies was detected by 56 pairs of cDNA-AFLP primers. The segregation and distribution of cDNA-AFLPs molecular marker were analyzed to construct transcriptome map amongst parents and F6 plants. A total of 164 cDNA-AFLPs marker loci were mapped into 13 linkage groups which covered 1 401.2 cM with an average distance of 9.7 cM. It was the first transcriptome map of Chinese cabbage using cDNA-AFLP technique.
