White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is a legume grain crop cultivated since ancient Greece and Egypt. Modern white lupin cultivars are appreciated as a source of protein with positive nutraceutical impact. However, white lupins produce anti-nutritional compounds, quinolizidine alkaloids, which provide bitter taste and have a negative influence on human health. During domestication of this species, several recessive alleles at unlinked loci controlling low alkaloid content were selected. One of these loci, pauper, was exploited worldwide providing numerous low-alkaloid cultivars. However, molecular tracking of pauper has been hampered due to the lack of diagnostic markers. In the present study, the synteny-based approach was harnessed to target pauper locus. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms flanking pauper locus on white lupin linkage map as well as candidate gene sequences elucidated from the narrow-leafed lupin (L. angustifolius L.) chromosome segment syntenic to the pauper linkage group region were transformed to PCR-based molecular markers. These markers were analyzed both in the mapping population and world germplasm collection. From fourteen markers screened, eleven were localized at a distance below 1.5 cM from this locus, including five co-segregating with pauper. The linkage of these markers was confirmed by high LOD values (up to 58.4). Validation performed in the set of 127 bitter and 23 sweet accessions evidenced high applicability of one marker, LAGI01_35805_F1_R1, for pauper locus selection, highlighted by the low ratio of false-positive scores (2.5%). LAGI01_35805 represents a homolog of L. angustifolius acyltransferase-like (LaAT) gene which might hypothetically participate in the alkaloid biosynthesis process in lupins.
