Inheritance of RAPD Markers in Melon (Cucumis melo L.)
J. E. Staub
USDA-ARS Vegetable Crops Research Unit , University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of
Horticulture, 1575 Linden Dr. Madison WI 53706
Introduction: Genetic markers have been employed
in diversity analysis (2,3,4,7,8) and the construction
of maps in melon (1,9). The use of random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) has allowed for
discrimination of elite (2,7) and unadapted
germplasm (3,4,8). Because of their relative low cost
and low technological attributes they have been
valuable for diversity analysis (2,7). However,
except for the mapping of several RAPD marker loci
by Baudracco-Arnas and Pitrat (1996), the genetics
RAPD markers in melon has not been widely
characterized. This is likely due to the relatively low
level of RAPD polymorphisms (~15-20%) in melon.
The bands used for diversity analysis are repeatable
(4,7), but their genetic attributes have not been
characterized. This report details the genetics of
RAPD markers assessed in F2 progeny segregating in
four melon populations.
Materials and Methods: Crosses were made
between an experimental inbred line SA 200
(‘Chargyne’) x ‘Top Mark’, WI 998 x ‘Top Mark’,
Charentais-1 x AR5, and ‘Top Mark’ x AR5. These
crosses were made to produce segregating
populations that would be useful in mapping disease
resistance and sex expression in melon. SA 200 is a
gynoecious Charentais market type received from
Clause Seed Company (Bretigny-Sur-Orge Cedex,
France), Charentais-1 is a gynoecious Charentais
market type inbred line received from Petoseed
Company (now associated with Seminis, Woodland
Calif., USA), AR5 and “Top Mark’ are disease
resistant U.S. Western Shipper market types released
by the USDA, ARS, and WI 998 is a gynoecious line
released by the USDA, ARS. Each F1 was selfpollinated to produce four F2 populations (i.e., SA
200 x ‘Top Mark’, WI 998 x ‘Top Mark’, Charentais1 x AR5, and ‘Top Mark’ x AR5) segregation
analyses.
DNA was extracted and subjected to PCR using
RAPD primers from Operon (Alameda, Calif., USA)
and University of British Columbia (UVBC;
designated BC; Vancouver, BC, Canada) and
electrophoresis was carried out according to Staub et
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 24: 29-32 (2001)
al. (7). Initially, a survey of all parents was made
using about 1,500 primers to identify polymorphism
specific to the contrasting parents in a particular
cross. Primer products were identified by their
primer designation (e.g., B12 = Operon primer and
BC541 = UVBC primer) (Table 1). When a primer
produced more than one product that was useable for
analysis, it was given a lower case letter designation
from cathodal to anodal migration position (e.g.,
BC541a).
Data were obtained for dominant RAPD loci from F2
families and analyzed by chi-square analysis for
conformity to expected 3:1 (df = 1) Mendelian
single-factor segregation ratios.
Results and Discussion: The primers examined
yielded between 25 to 40% polymorphisms (band
differences between parents) depending on the cross
(data not presented). Potentially useful bands were
characterized as having a mobility between 200 to
2,500 bp. Putative loci were then identified as those
possessing bands that were reproducible and bright
and used for segregation analysis (Table 1). Initially,
examination of parents of SA 200 x ‘Top Mark’, WI
998 x ‘Top Mark’, Charentais-1 x AR5, and ‘Top
Mark’ x AR5 produced 264, 241, 244, and 251
reproducible band differences between respective
parents (putative loci) (data not presented). On
average, this represents 17% recovery of
potentially useable bands (loci) from the survey
of 1,500 primers.
After this initial assessment, 41, 27, 90, and 38,
bands (loci) segregated in a predictable manner in
progeny from SA 200 x ‘Top Mark’, WI 998 x ‘Top
Mark’, Charentais-1 x AR5, and ‘Top Mark’ x AR5
matings, respectively (Table 1). This represents, on
average, 3.3% recovery of useable loci from the
initial survey of 1,500 primers.
Given the fact that individuals are sometimes
misclassified even when scoring loci that historically
have proven to reproducible bright RAPD bands, we
are attempting RAPD to SCAR conversion at some
29

of the loci (e.g., M7675, U13831, AT7a1275, A161600,
AT2800, BC2261400, 02-11100, and Z3a700). Although
this type of conversion has proven difficult in
cucumber (6), if success is achieved in melon we
will make additional conversions. This will allow
for the development of a standard array of SCARs
markers, and permit their use in diversity analysis
and genetic map construction along with previously
published codominant markers (5). A standard
marker array and the use of reference accessions
from previous studies (e.g., 7) will provide
powerful set of tools for diversity analysis.
