The application discloses an
InDel molecular marker for identifying MeiGua single and double
petal characters, a primer and application thereof, and comprises two
InDel molecular markers, namely
InDel 9 located at 5549358~5549382bp of a No.1
chromosome of MeiGua and InDel 90 located at 6309277~6309290bp of the No.1
chromosome of MeiGua. The application also develops a primer for amplifying the two InDel markers. The
molecular marker can be used for quickly and efficiently identifying MeiGua single and double
petal varieties at a
seedling stage of MeiGua, and the accuracy rate reaches 100%. Compared with traditional breeding which needs to wait for about four years for flowering, the marker has the advantages of early time, low cost, accuracy and rapidness when applied to assisted breeding.
