Abstract
Sweetness is an economically important eating quality trait for sweet corn breeding. The various types of sweet corn are caused
by single gene mutation [1]. The brittle2 and shrunken2 mutants accumulated 20% of starch found in the corn kernels [2, 3]. Due
to mutation in ADP-glucose pyro phosphorylase reveals as a key regulatory enzyme to limit the rate of starch biosynthesis pathway
[4-7]. The brittle2 (bt2) mutant is classified as class 1 super sweet corn [3,8,9], having 15-30% sugar of total carbohydrate content
in the kernel, while normal corn contains about 3% sugar in the kernel [9,10]. Newly, the functional marker based on shrunken2
gene (sh2) was identified and developed [11]. This SNP marker designed within the coding region in exon 1 at position 154 of the
coding sequence was clearly separated the sh2-based sweet corn from waxy corn, field corn, and the sweet corn that was based on
the other genes, i.e., su1, se1, and bt2. However, there is no report of SNP markers associated with bt2 in sweet corn.
In this study, we scanned for SNPs from an Axiom® Maize 600k Genotyping Array from a collection of 6 sweet corn and 9 waxy
corn recombination inbred lines (RILs). The SNPs were used to evaluate linkage-disequilibrium (LD) decays and association with
bt2. Additionally, SNP-based makers tightly linked to bt2 were validated to find a marker associated with super sweet kernel trait
that could aid in future super-sweet corn improvement programs.
