Mapping and cloning of pepper fruit color-related genes based on BSA-seq technology

Fruit color is an important qualitative trait that greatly influences the marketability of peppers. Fruit color can be divided into two categories. Green fruit color denotes commercial maturity, whereas ripe fruit indicates physiological maturity. Herein, segregation populations were created using the 'D24' with pale green in the green fruit stage, orange in the mature fruit stage, and 'D47' with green in the green fruit stage and red in the mature fruit stage. BSA-seq and genetic linkage map analysis revealed green fruit color was linked to (
