Phragmites australis roots and Phragmites australis roots are often mistaken for the same species in clinical practice. Therefore, how to distinguish between Phragmites australis roots and Phragmites australis roots has become a research hotspot.

[0041] Example 1 Screening of SNP Molecular Markers for Identifying Reed Roots By comparing and analyzing the genome sequences of Phragmites australis roots, Phragmites australis roots, Miscanthus sinensis roots, and Dioscorea chinensis roots, the SNP molecular marker sequence was obtained. The SNP molecular marker sequence of Phragmites australis roots is as follows: TTCCACCCATGCAATAGAAAGCGAATGAGAAAAGAAGGGTTATTTTCCCTTAAAAGATAGGCTTTGAAATAGGAATCATAGAATAATGCTGAATTCAAATGTTTATTTCTTTTTTTCTAGTATAAGAAAAATTAATCGAATGAAATTCATGGATTTACCACGACCTCGGTTGTGACCCCATAGATAAAAATGCAAAATTTCTATCTTCGAGACCGTTGAAAAAGGGCATTGAACGAGAAAGA (SEQ ID NO.1); The SNP molecular marker sequence of Phragmites australis root is as follows: TTCCACCCATGCAATAGAAAGCGAATGAGAAAAGAGGGGTTATTTTCCCTTAAAAGATAGGCTTTTAAATAGGAATCATGGAATAATGCGGAATTCAAATGTTTATTTCTTTTATTTCTATAGTATAAGAAAAATGAATCGAATGAAATTCATGCATTTACCATGACCTCGGTTGTGACCCCATAGATAAAAATGCAAAATTTGTATCTTCGAGACCATTGAAAAAGGGCATTGAACGAGAAAGA (SEQ ID NO.2); The SNP molecular marker sequence of Mangosteen is as follows: TTCCACCCATGCAATAGAGAGCGAATGAGAAAAGAGGGGTTTTCCCTTAAAAAATAGGCTTTGAAATAGAAATCATGGAATAATGCTGAATTCAAATGTTTATTTCTTTTATTTCTTTTCTATAGTATAAGAAAAATGAATTAAATGAAATTCGTGGATTTAGCACGACCTTGGTTGTGACCCCATAGATAAAAATGGAAAATTTCTATCTTCGAGACGACTGAAAAAGGGCATTGAACGAGAAAGA (SEQ ID NO.3); The SNP molecular marker sequence of Minami Ogigen is as follows: TTCCACCCATGCAATAGAGAGCGAATGATAAAAGAGGGGTTTTCCCTTAAAAAATAGGCTTTGAAATAGAAATCATGGAATAATGCTGAATTCAAATGTTTATTTCTTTTATTTCTTTTCTATAGTATAAGAAAAATGAATTAAATGAAATTCGTGGATTTAGCACGACCTTGGTTGTGACCCCATAGATAAAAATGGAAAATTTCTATCTTCGAGACGACTGAAAAAGGGCATTGAACGAGAAAGA (SEQ ID NO.4).
[0042] Based on the above SNP molecular marker sequences, SNP sites for efficiently distinguishing reed roots from Phragmites australis roots, Miscanthus sinensis roots, and Rhizoma Dioscoreae roots were obtained. The specific SNP site information is shown in Table 1 below.
[0043] Table 1 SNP site information
[0044] Therefore, efficient identification of reed roots can be achieved based on the genotypes of SNP sites at different positions in the SNP molecular marker sequence.
[0045] Furthermore, with respect to the above-mentioned SNP molecular marker sequence, the present invention provides a primer pair for detecting the above-mentioned SNP molecular marker, the primer pair comprising a forward primer Lw-F and a reverse primer Lw-R, the nucleotide sequences of which are shown below: Lw-F: 5′-TTCCACCCATGCAATA-3′ (SEQ ID NO.5); Lw-R: 5′-TCTTTCTCGTTCAATGCCCT-3′ (SEQ ID NO. 6).
[0046] Example 2 Validation of SNP Molecular Markers for Identifying Phragmites australis Roots Root samples of Phragmites australis, Arundo donax, Miscanthus sinensis, and Miscanthus sinensis were collected from Hubei Province. The samples and collection locations are shown in Table 2. The samples were soaked in liquid nitrogen in the laboratory and then ground into a powder using a Jingxin fully automatic sample rapid grinder (JXFSTPRP-24L). DNA was then extracted using the Tiangen Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit.
[0047] Table 2 Experimental samples
[0048] The DNA samples were amplified using a 15-μL PCR amplification system consisting of 7.5 μL of Tiangen Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. 2× Taq PCR Mix, 0.8 μL of Lw-F, 0.8 μL of Lw-R, 1 μL of DNA (approximately 20 ng), and 4.9 μL of ddH₂O. PCR reactions were performed using an Ependorf Mastercycler X50s PCR instrument with a 94°C initial denaturation for 5 min, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 45 s, annealing at 60°C for 40 s, and extension at 72°C for 1 min, followed by extension at 72°C for 3 min. The reactions were then stored at 4°C.
[0049] After the reaction, 3 μL of amplified product was taken and mixed with 2 μL of 6× DNA loading buffer from Tiangen Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd., and electrophoresed on a 1.5% agarose gel. The results were detected using the Bio-Red gel imaging system (GelDoc go). Figure 1 shown.
[0050] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the corresponding bands can be amplified in the above sample DNA, and the results show that the primer pair has good specificity.
[0051] The PCR products amplified above were sent to Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for sequencing. Figure 2 shown.
[0052] from Figure 2 It can be seen that, with the amplified sequence of reed root as a reference, the genotypes of reed root at sites 36, 80, 140, and 222 are A, A, T, and G, respectively, while those of Phragmites australis root, Miscanthus sinensis root, and Rhizoma Dioscoreae are G, G, G, and A, respectively. Therefore, the reed roots can be efficiently distinguished based on the genotypes of the above-mentioned different SNP sites.
[0053] Furthermore, to verify the consistency of the amplified fragments of the above primer pairs in reed roots, the amplified fragments were compared with the Nucleotide collection (nr / nt) database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the United States by blastn. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
[0054] Table 3 Information of the first 20 sequences in the Blastn comparison results
[0055] As can be seen from Table 3, the amplified sequence is 100% consistent with the published sequence of Phragmites australis, and is different from other plants. The results further show that the above primers have high reliability in identifying Phragmites australis by amplifying sequences.
[0056] In summary, the present invention obtains SNP molecular markers that can efficiently distinguish reed roots from reed roots, reed roots, awn roots and southern reed roots by comparing and analyzing the genome sequences of reed roots, reed roots, awn roots and southern reed roots, and further realizes efficient identification of reed roots through the genotypes of different SNP sites in the above-mentioned SNP molecular markers.
[0057] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate the implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
