Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of molecular biology, and in particular to a method for identifying powdery mildew larvae and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lycoris mealybug (Phenacoccus solani) belongs to the Pseudococcidae family (Phenacoccus) of the order Hemiptera. The pest was first discovered in 1908 on mallow (Malva sinensis Cavan.) in California, USA. With the increase in international trade, it has now spread to all continents except Antarctica. In 1999, the insect was first discovered in Taiwan, my country; in 2008, the insect was discovered in Xinjiang and Beijing, and in recent years it has occurred in parts of central and southern my country. Lycoris mealybug has a wide diet, with hosts from as many as 40 families and 101 genera, involving more than 131 plant species. It especially likes to eat economic crops such as Solanaceae, Asteraceae and succulents.

[0003] The insect is tiny, and mainly harms host plants with female adults and nymphs. It harms the young and tender parts of the host plants, such as young branches, leaves, flower buds and petioles, by sucking the juice, which causes the growth of the damaged plants to weaken and even lead to a total failure in severe cases. At the same time, the honeydew secreted induces sooty mold, which hinders the photosynthesis of the plants, thus causing poor growth of the branches and leaves of the host plants and reducing the yield. According to the results of the risk analysis of the potential danger of the introduction of Lycoris radiata mealybug into my country, it is shown that the pest has a wide range of suitable habitats in my country. If it spreads widely as expected, it will cause great harm to the potato and vegetable crop production areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and is identified as a high-risk pest. The insect is also listed as an entry quarantine pest by Japan and South Korea.

[0004] Lycoris mealybug is a small insect with different sexes. The female adult is oval and covered with white wax powder. It can reproduce parthenogenetically or sexually. Its main identification characteristics are: the body is broadly oval, 23.2-27.1mm long and 1.3-1.6mm wide. Each trochanter has two sensory holes, and the tibia of the hind leg has many transparent holes. There are 6 bristles around the anal ring. The last pair of thorns has 2 cones and 10-13 trigonal glands, and the other thorns have 2 cones and 6 trigonal glands; the tail valve is well developed. The female adult lays eggs in the cotton-like egg sac near the genital pore. The newly hatched nymphs are active and can feed and cause harm within a short time after crawling out of the egg sac. Lycoris mealybug has a very strong reproductive capacity, the adult lays a large number of eggs, the population overlaps generations, and the population can grow at a very fast rate.

[0005] The body surface of Lycoris radiata mealybugs is often covered with white wax. During morphological identification, it is usually necessary to dissect the female adult and make slides to observe the various ductal gland characteristics on the insect cuticle for identification. The process is complicated and time-consuming. Especially when encountering closely related species, missing identification feature parts or non-adult stage samples, it is difficult to carry out traditional morphological identification methods.

[0006] At present, the methods used for identification of mealybugs in Lycoris radiata mainly include: 1) morphological characteristics identification; 2) PCR technology, etc. Among them, morphological characteristics identification requires a complete insect body for experiment, and the identification process is relatively complicated and has certain technical difficulties; PCR technology classifies and identifies mealybugs through DNA sequences, and the results are accurate, but the sequencing takes a long time. Therefore, in order to prevent the introduction of mealybugs in Lycoris radiata, a rapid, highly sensitive and highly specific identification and detection method for the insect of the present invention has important social and economic significance. Using the detection method of the present invention, mealybugs in Lycoris radiata can be effectively detected and the detection rate can be improved; it is helpful to carry out targeted prevention of the invasion and spread of mealybugs in Lycoris radiata, and protect the safety of agricultural production and ecological security in my country.

Samples of Phenacoccus lycoris and Phenacoccus hibiscus were preserved by Zhejiang Institute of Inspection and Quarantine Science and Technology.

[0043] (2) DNA extraction of Phenacoccus spp.

[0044] The template DNA of Phenacoccus spp. was obtained using a blood & tissue DNA extraction kit (QIAGEN, Cat. No. 69504). The specific extraction steps are as follows:

[0045] 1) Place the Phenacoccus spp. sample in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 180 μL of Buffer ATL, and grind thoroughly with a grinding rod; then add 20 μL of proteinase K and vortex to mix;

[0046] 2) Add 200 μL of Buffer AL to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, vortex to mix, and place in a 56°C water bath for 10 min until the liquid becomes clear;

[0047] 3) Add 200 μL of ethanol (96%-100%, v / v) to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and vortex to mix;

[0048] 4) Transfer the solution to a DNeasy Mini column, place a 2 mL collection tube on the column, centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 1 min, and discard the waste liquid;

[0049] 5) Add 500 μL Buffer AW1 to the DNeasy Mini column, centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 1 min, and discard the waste liquid;

[0050] 6) Add 500 μL Buffer AW2 to the DNeasy Mini column, centrifuge at 14000 rpm for 3 min, and discard the waste liquid;

[0051] 7) Discard the collection tube and place the DNeasy Mini column into a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube;

[0052] 8) Add 200 μL Buffer AE to the column for elution, let stand at 15-25°C for 1 min, and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 1 min;

[0053] 9) Repeat step 8;

[0054] 10) After sufficient elution, store at -20°C for future use.

[0055] (3) High-throughput sequencing and sequence analysis

[0056] After random shearing, linker ligation, PCR amplification and other steps, sufficient DNA was obtained from the genomic DNA sample of Phenacoccus spp. for 2×150bp sequencing on the second-generation high-throughput sequencing platform Illumina Hiseq. The total sequencing volume was about 40 million reads, or 6 gillion bps.

[0057] bbmap, ABySS, GapCloser and other software were used to perform quality control, sequence splicing and result correction on sequencing results.

[0058] (4) Design of primers and probes for fluorescence quantitative PCR

[0059] The high-copy fragments were screened in the splicing results as candidate targets for identification of Phenacoccus lycoris, and the target sequence obtained by screening was shown in SEQ ID No. 1, which had no homology with any known sequence in the database. The target (target 1) as described in SEQ ID No. 1 was then compared with other Phenacoccus lycoris sequencing results, and fluorescent quantitative PCR primers and probes were designed at sites where there were significant differences in the sequences. The sequences of the primers and probes are shown in Table 1.

[0075] (4) Effect of annealing temperature on detection results

[0076] The same concentration of Phenacoccus lycoris genomic DNA was tested at different annealing temperatures (55℃~65℃). The test results in Table 4 show that in the range of 55℃~63.3℃, ​​the test results are not greatly affected by the annealing temperature as the annealing temperature increases. Since nonspecific amplification decreases with the increase of annealing temperature, 63.3℃ is more recommended as the annealing temperature for fluorescent quantitative PCR. When multiple primers are tested, the annealing temperature can also be set according to the primers of other groups.

[0077] Table 4

[0079] (5) Primer specificity detection

[0080] The specificity of the primers was tested using genomic DNA of 11 insect species including Phenacoccus hibiscus and Phenacoccus cassava as well as Phenacococcus lycoris radiata as templates ( Figure 1 ). The reaction system and procedure were optimized according to the results of step (4), and the annealing temperature was 63.3°C. The results showed that the primer had obvious signals only in the Lycoris radiata mealybug group, and no signals in the other groups, which indicated that the primer and the detection method had good specificity. The Cq values ​​of the detection results are shown in Table 5.

[0083] (6) Amplification efficiency and detection limit

[0084] The genomic DNA of Phenacoccus lycoris was diluted and tested in a gradient of 1:4. Figure 2 The logarithm of the diluted concentration was taken and linear regression analysis was performed with the Cq value. The regression curve was calculated as y = -1.0654 × log2X + 28.294, R 2 =0.992, where y is the Cq value of the test and X is the concentration of the genomic DNA of Phenacoccus lycoris (ng / μL). The amplification efficiency of primer and probe combination 1 was calculated to be 91.67%. When the sample concentration was 3.48×10 - When the concentration was 3 ng / μL, there was only a weak amplification signal and the reproducibility between different batches was poor. Therefore, the detection limit of this method was considered to be 3.48×10 -3 ng / μL.

[0085] The low amplification efficiency of this method is caused by the higher annealing temperature. Considering that increasing the annealing temperature can reduce the probability of false positives, it is believed that the slightly lower amplification efficiency is acceptable.

After the droplets were generated, they were transferred to a 96-well PCR plate, the membrane was heat-sealed with a PX1 PCR heat sealer, and then placed on a digital PCR instrument for amplification. The reaction procedure is shown in Table 7. After the amplification reaction was completed, the 96-well PCR plate was placed in the QX 200 droplet analyzer, and the droplet reading, image processing and result analysis were performed using Quantasoft software. The detection channel was VIC.

[0100]

[0101] (4) Analysis of the copy number of the target sequence in Phenacoccus lycoris

[0102] The DNA samples of Lycoris radiata powdery mildew were appropriately diluted and used for digital PCR detection. The results are as follows Figure 3 According to calculations, the number of copies of the target with the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 on a single Lycoris radiata Phenacoccus lycopersicus genome is about 5.

[0108] (2) Sequence analysis and primer and probe design

[0109] The mitochondrial COI gene of Phenacoccus lycoris was used as the detection target, and all COI gene sequences related to mealybugs were retrieved in the NCBI database (https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ). All COI sequences of Phenacoccus lycoris were compared with those of other mealybugs. Considering the polymorphism within the species of Phenacoccus lycoris and the differences between Phenacoccus lycoris and other species, the primer combinations were designed as shown in Table 8. Using primer and probe combinations for amplification can effectively avoid false negatives caused by polymorphism within species.

[0121] (5) Effect of annealing temperature on detection results

[0122] The same concentration of Phenacoccus lycoris genomic DNA was tested at different annealing temperatures (55°C to 65°C). The test results in Table 10 show that in the range of 55.0°C to 65.0°C, the test results are not greatly affected by the annealing temperature.

[0133] The DNA extraction procedure was the same as described in Example 1.

[0134] (3) Fluorescence quantitative PCR detection

[0135] The nucleotide sequences of the forward primer, reverse primer and probe used for detecting target 1 are shown in SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ID No. 3 and SEQ ID No. 4, respectively.

[0136] The nucleotide sequences of the forward primer combination used for target 2 detection are shown in SEQ ID No.5 and SEQ ID No.6, the nucleotide sequences of the reverse primer combination are shown in SEQ ID No.7, SEQ ID No.8 and SEQ ID No.9, and the nucleotide sequences of the probe combination are shown in SEQ ID No.10, SEQ ID No.11 and SEQ ID No.12.

[0137] Primer and probe combination 1 can amplify well within the annealing temperature range of 55.0-63.3° C., and primer and probe combination 2 can amplify well within the annealing temperature range of 55.0-65.0° C. Considering both situations, 63.3° C. is selected as the annealing temperature.

[0138] Take out the frozen template DNA, primers, probes and other reagents in advance, restore them to room temperature (15-25°C), vortex mix and briefly centrifuge for use; prepare the fluorescence quantitative PCR system as shown in Table 12, and mix thoroughly after preparation; place the reaction tube in the detection well of the fluorescence quantitative amplification instrument; set the name of each reaction tube and other related labels; select VIC and FAM channels for fluorescence signal detection at the same time; set the reaction program as shown in Table 13.

[0147] The specificity of the primers was tested using genomic DNA of 11 insect species including Phenacoccus hibiscus and Phenacoccus cassava as well as Phenacococcus lycoris radiata as templates ( Figure 5 ). Lycoris radiata mealybug has obvious signals in both VIC and FAM channels; the Cq values ​​of the detection results are shown in Table 14. When the sample concentration is high, weak models can be detected in the VIC channel of brown planthopper, pumpkin fruit fly, and hibiscus mealybug, but the Cq values ​​are all greater than 35, and the three have no obvious signals in the FAM channel. This shows that the multiplex fluorescence quantitative PCR detection method has good specificity.

[0148] Compared with single-channel fluorescence quantitative PCR, multiplex fluorescence quantitative PCR can effectively improve the accuracy of identification results. When both channels have obvious signals and the Cq value is less than 35, it can be confirmed that the sample is Phenacoccus lycoris.
