Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wheat breeding and cultivation, and particularly relates to a cultivation method for promoting rapid growth and development of spring wheat. Background Art

[0002] As the world's second largest food crop, the increase in wheat yield and the improvement in quality are crucial to responding to the global food crisis. In particular, with the intensification of the climate crisis and the increasing severity of problems such as drought, flood, disease and pests, global food security faces huge challenges. At present, modern wheat breeding faces serious homogeneity problems, a lack of original high-quality germplasm resources, insufficient mining of key new genes, and the lagging application of molecular design breeding technology, which have become a "neck-stuck" problem restricting the development of the wheat seed industry. The key to solving this problem lies in enriching genetic resources based on conventional breeding methods, supplemented by molecular marker-assisted selection technology, radiation mutagenesis and gene editing, and empowering breeding research with artificial intelligence, that is, breeding 4.0 technology.

[0003] Traditional breeding methods mainly rely on hybridization and self-pollination for variety improvement and selection. From parental hybridization to the stable introduction of traits of new varieties, it usually takes 6 to 8 generations of breeding process, and 4 to 5 years of variety approval process. However, due to the limitations of climate and natural conditions, wheat can only be planted for one generation a year, resulting in the cultivation of a new wheat variety usually taking more than 10 years. This long growth cycle severely limits the efficiency and progress of wheat breeding.

[0004] At present, there have been some reports on the research of multi-generation breeding technology of crops, as follows:

[0005] The Chinese patent application document with publication number CN117716987A discloses a method for accelerating wheat growth and shortening the growth cycle in a plant factory, but lacks a detailed description of the specific regulatory mechanism of wheat growth. The Chinese patent application document with publication number CN117378504A proposes a method for increasing the wheat breeding speed by in vitro culturing wheat post-flowering embryos, avoiding the time of waiting for wheat to mature and significantly shortening the growth cycle. However, the practical application of this method is limited by the high cost of equipment and the complexity of operation. The Chinese patent application document with publication number CN113557864A discloses an LED light formula and its application for promoting the flowering and maturation of rapeseed, which successfully shortens the flowering and maturation time of rapeseed by accurately controlling light environment parameters such as light quality, light intensity and photoperiod. However, the applicability and effect of this method on other crops (such as wheat) are still unclear. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to solve the problems of long cycle and low efficiency in the traditional wheat cultivation process.

[0007] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical means:

[0008] The present invention provides a cultivation method for promoting rapid growth and development of spring wheat, comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) Seed pretreatment: selecting plump and uniform-sized spring wheat seeds and sterilizing them; placing the sterilized seeds in a culture dish filled with wet filter paper and culturing them until the seeds turn white; the spring wheat is photoperiod-insensitive spring wheat;

[0010] (2) Planting and soil culture: Transplant the white wheat seeds into seedling trays, move them to a culture room with a long light period, and culture them until they are mature and harvested; the culture room is illuminated by LED light; the LED light is blue light, white light, or (composite light of red light: blue light = 3:1); the ambient temperature of the culture room is 22-28°C, the air humidity is 46-80%, and the carbon dioxide concentration is 460-880 ppm.

[0011] Preferably, the photoperiod-insensitive spring wheat is specifically selected from any one of Ningchun No. 4, Ningchun No. 50 and Ningchun No. 55.

[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the spectral range of blue light is 410-490 nm, the spectral range of white light is 400-780 nm; and the spectral range of red light is 620-750 nm.

[0013] Preferably, in step (2), the long photoperiod specifically refers to a photoperiod of 18 to 22 hours of light / 2 to 6 hours of darkness, and more preferably.

[0014] Preferably, in step (2), the light intensity is controlled at 250-350 μmol m -2 s -1 , more preferably 300 μmol m -2 s -1 .

[0015] Preferably, in step (2), the ambient temperature in the culture room is 25.3° C., the air humidity is 67.2%, and the carbon dioxide concentration is 540 ppm.

[0016] Preferably, in step (2), the soil in the seedling tray is a mixture of nutrient soil: vermiculite:perlite=3.6:2.8:1.4 in volume ratio.

[0017] Preferably, the cultivation process in step (2) further comprises irrigating with 43-52% (v / v) Hoagland's standard nutrient solution once a week with an irrigation volume of 1-3 L.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. The present invention proposes a cultivation method for promoting the rapid growth and development of spring wheat, which is based on the method of regulating the rapid iteration of wheat by combining the three light elements of LED light spectrum, light intensity and light period, and provides important technical support for the creation of new wheat germplasm and the breeding of new varieties. By regulating the three major elements of light period, light quality and light intensity, the time of the entire growth and development process of wheat from seed germination to harvest is shortened, the cultivation cycle is shortened, and the breeding efficiency is improved.

[0020] 2. Significantly shorten the growth cycle: By optimizing the combination of light cycle, light quality and light intensity, the time from seed germination to mature harvest of wheat is greatly shortened, so that spring wheat can complete the growth cycle within 50 to 60 days. This efficient growth model allows 6 to 7 generations of harvests to be achieved in a year, thus breaking through the limitation of the long growth cycle of traditional wheat.

[0021] 3. Accelerate the breeding process: Through rapid growth, development and maturity, the present invention provides important technical support for wheat breeding. The shortened growth cycle not only improves the breeding efficiency, but also accelerates the improvement and breeding process of chassis varieties, providing a solid foundation for breeding research and application.

[0022] 4. Flexible adaptability: This lighting combination is suitable for a variety of wheat varieties, including photoperiod-sensitive and non-sensitive varieties. By adjusting the photoperiod, light quality and light intensity, it can be appropriately adjusted according to the growth needs of different varieties to ensure optimal growth and development and acceleration effects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in combination with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Unless otherwise specified, the test materials and reagents used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources.

[0033] If no specific techniques or conditions are specified in the examples, they can be carried out according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the art or according to the product instructions.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] Accelerated growth and development of spring wheat materials with different photoperiod sensitivity alleles under the same light conditions:

[0036] (1) Ppd-D1 genotype detection:

[0037] First, the photoperiod-1 (Ppd-D1) molecular marker was used to identify and analyze the photoperiod-sensitive genes of the tested spring wheat materials. The specific operations are as follows:

[0038] The following primer sequences were designed and commissioned to be synthesized by Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd.:

[0039] Ppd-D1_F:ACGCCTCCCACTACACTG

[0040] Ppd-D1_R1:GTTGGTTCAAACAGAGAGC

[0041] Ppd-D1_R2:CACTGGTGGTAGCTGAGATT

[0042] The genomic DNA samples of the tested spring wheat materials were extracted, including Ningchun 4, Ningchun 10, Ningchun 34, Ningchun 36, Ningchun 50, Ningchun 55 and other varieties. The three-primer method was used for PCR amplification, and the amplified products were detected by gel electrophoresis. The experimental results showed that the electrophoresis patterns of Ningchun 4, Ningchun 50 and Ningchun 55 were short bands of 288 bp, indicating that these varieties belonged to photoperiod-insensitive wheat; while Ningchun 10, Ningchun 34 and Ningchun 36 showed long bands of 414 bp, indicating that they were photoperiod-sensitive wheat (such as Figure 1 shown).

[0043] (2) Growth and development process of two types of wheat varieties under the same light conditions:

[0044] Six spring wheat varieties were planted in the same plug tray, with 15 plants of each variety. The growth period was determined when more than half of the plants reached that growth stage. Under the same light conditions in the accelerated culture room, the growth and development speed of photoperiod-insensitive wheat was significantly faster than that of photoperiod-sensitive wheat. The specific performance is as follows:

[0045] Under the white light condition of 22 h light / 2 h dark, 12 plants of Ningchun 4, Ningchun 50 and Ningchun 55 were close to the booting stage after 25 days of cultivation, while the photoperiod-sensitive varieties Ningchun 10, Ningchun 34 and Ningchun 36 were only at the jointing stage (e.g. Figure 2 shown).

[0046] Under the conditions of 18-hour light / 6-hour dark photoperiod and red:blue ratio of 3:1, after 52 days of cultivation, Ningchun 4, Ningchun 50 and Ningchun 55 basically all entered the heading stage, while Ningchun 10, Ningchun 34 and Ningchun 36 were still in the jointing stage (e.g. Figure 3 shown).

[0047] Based on the experimental results, in order to speed up the experimental process, subsequent experiments can select Ningchun 4, Ningchun 50, and Ningchun 55, spring wheat varieties with faster growth and development and insensitive to light periods, as experimental subjects.

[0048] The growth status of the above six spring wheats cultivated under eight light spectrums with a photoperiod of 22h light / 2h dark for 52 days is shown in the figure below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the growth status of 6 varieties of spring wheat cultivated under 8 light spectrums with a photoperiod of 18h light / 6h dark for 52 days is shown in the figure Figure 5 (8 different spectra: pure red light (R), pure blue light (B), white light (W), and 5 composite spectra composed of red light and blue light in different proportions, namely R:B = 1:1 (1R1B), R:B = 3:1 (3R1B), R:B = 5:1 (5R1B), R:B = 1:3 (1R3B), R:B = 1:5 (1R5B).
