 note = {Pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA) trait is desirable in persimmon production because it confers natural astringency loss in mature persimmon fruit. Expression of the PCNA trait requires six homozygous recessive PCNA (ast) alleles at the single ASTRINGENCY (AST) locus in hexaploid persimmon. When crossing non-PCNA accessions to breed PCNA offspring, knowledge of ast and non-PCNA (AST) allele dosage in the parental accessions is important, because more PCNA offspring can segregate from a non-PCNA parent with more ast and fewer AST alleles. Previously, we have demonstrated that a region linked to the AST locus has numerous fragment size polymorphisms with varying numbers of simple sequence repeats. Here, we reveal the polymorphisms in this region in a broad collection of persimmon germplasms. Among 237 accessions, we distinguished 21 AST- and 5 ast-linked fragments with different sizes. Based on the number of fragments detected per individual, we identified 21 non-PCNA accessions with three different ast alleles; by crossing these with a PCNA parent, we obtain PCNA offspring under autohexaploid inheritance. Furthermore, AST and ast allelic combination patterns in hexaploid persimmon were shown to be applicable to cultivar identification of non-PCNA accessions. We directly sequenced ast-linked fragments from 48 accessions with one-size peak of ast-linked fragment and found two distinctive groups of fragments based on single nucleotide polymorphisms. This result suggests that a bottleneck event occurred during ast allele development. We conclude that our fragment size profile can be used to accelerate PCNA breeding that uses non-PCNA parents and to study ast allele accumulation in persimmon.},
