Molecular marker for determining genotype of pink fruit in tomato and sorting method for pink tomato using same

摘要

The present invention relates to a molecular marker capable of discriminating the SlMYB12 genotype of tomatoes and a method of selecting tomatoes showing pinkish color by confirming mutation of the SlMYB12 gene using the molecular marker. Since the molecular markers and the selecting method can select and identify tomatoes that exhibit a pinkish color easily and accurately before the tomatoes are fully ripen, the present invention is anticipated to save time, money, and labor in cultivating tomatoes that represent actual pink coloration.
