Abstract

The analysis of a carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase gene in a pool of peach cultivars revealed the existence of a functional allele (W1), associated with the white flesh trait, and three independent mutations associated with the yellow phenotype: a 2 bp insertion within a repetitive sequence (y1), a large transposable element within the intron (y2) and a single base substitution generating a premature stop codon (y3). Based on these evidences, the yellow flesh phenotype seems to have arisen from at least three independent mutational events.
