Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biological molecule detection, in particular to a KASP molecular marker linked to a wheat stem rust resistance gene Sr26 and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Wheat (Triticum aestivum L., AABBDD, 2n=6x=42) is a widely cultivated staple crop. Wheat growth is often plagued by various diseases, resulting in yield and quality losses. Wheat stem rust, caused by the wheat-specific form of the fungus Puccinia graminis (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn., Pgt), is a major disease in wheat production. Breeding and utilizing genetically resistant varieties is considered the most effective and sustainable strategy for controlling this disease. First discovered in 1999, the highly pathogenic wheat stem rust race Ug99 mutates rapidly and exhibits strong virulence, purportedly activating one or more of the widely used resistance genes Sr21, Sr24, Sr31, and Sr36. Currently, over 80 stem rust (Sr) resistance genes have been discovered, 70 of which have been formally named or mapped to different chromosomes. Most of these resistance genes have lost resistance to Ug99. The stem rust resistance gene Sr26 confers resistance to all currently known field races of stem rust, including Ug99 and its related variants. Therefore, in addition to vigorously exploring and utilizing this resistance gene, further broadening the genetic basis of disease-resistant breeding materials is an important issue that needs to be addressed.

[0003] The present invention intends to develop a KASP molecular marker linked to the wheat stem rust resistance gene Sr26, in order to provide technical support for the screening of wheat germplasm resources for the stem rust resistance gene Sr26, the creation of wheat stem rust resistance materials or molecular assisted breeding of wheat stem rust resistance.

[0054] Example 2 Genotyping and Identification Method for Containing Stem Rust Resistance Gene Sr26

[0055] Method for identifying whether wheat materials contain the stem rust resistance gene Sr26:

[0056] (1) Extracting the genomic DNA of the wheat material to be tested using the CTAB method;

[0057] (2) Using the genomic DNA of the wheat material to be tested as a template, the KASP primer set for genotyping detection of the KASP molecular marker ZK-SR26E3 obtained in Example 1 was used to perform fluorescent quantitative PCR amplification to obtain an amplified product;

[0058] The reaction system for fluorescence quantitative PCR amplification was as follows: 0.1 μg DNA template, 5 μL FLU-ARMS V5F, 0.5 μL KASP primer set, and 3.5 μL ddH2O; the concentration of each primer was 10 μM.

[0059] The reaction program of fluorescence quantitative PCR amplification was as follows: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 5 min; denaturation at 95°C for 5 s, annealing at 58°C for 20 s, and 45 cycles.

[0060] (3) Analyze the amplified products using Bio-Rad CFX Maestro software to obtain genotype data and the genotype of the wheat material to be tested;

[0061] The genotype of the homozygous allele with FAM fluorescence is X:X, the genotype of the homozygous allele with HEX fluorescence is Y:Y, and the genotype of the heterozygote is X:Y or Y:X;

[0062] (4) Determine whether the plant to be tested contains the stem rust resistance gene Sr26 based on the genotype:

[0063] When the genotype is X:X, X:Y or Y:X, it is determined that the tested wheat material contains the stem rust resistance gene Sr26;

[0064] When the genotype is Y:Y, it is determined that the wheat material to be tested does not contain the stem rust resistance gene Sr26.

[0065] Example 3 Application of KASP molecular markers in identifying wheat varieties containing the stem rust resistance gene Sr26

[0066] The identification method of Example 2 was used to perform genotyping on 14 Chinese wheat varieties, 8 Australian wheat varieties, 4 disease-resistant varieties Avocet, Eagle, Kite, Avocet+Lr34, and 1 susceptible variety Chinese Spring. At the same time, the gold standard (PCR detection method) was used to detect the wheat stem rust resistance Sr26 gene. The results are shown in Tables 2 and Figure 3-Figure 4 .

[0067] The results showed that the disease-resistant varieties Avocet, Eagle, Kite, Avocet+Lr34 and the artificial hybrid contained the Sr26 gene, while the remaining 22 wheat materials did not contain the Sr26 gene and were clearly typed. These results indicate that ZK-SR26E3 can be used for the molecular detection of the wheat stem rust resistance gene Sr26 and the screening of disease-resistant wheat.

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] Example 4 Application of KASP molecular markers in genetically diverse populations

[0072] The identification method of Example 2 was used to perform genotyping on some of the Huanghuai wheat region promoted varieties and lines (as shown in Tables 3-8), the positive control disease-resistant variety Avocet, the negative control variety Chinese Spring, and the artificial hybrid Avocet + Chinese Spring. The results are shown in Tables 3-8 and Figure 5-10 The results showed that, except for the positive control and artificial hybrids, the other wheat varieties did not contain the Sr26 gene.

[0073] The above results indicate that ZK-SR26E3 can identify the presence or absence of the Sr26 gene and is suitable for screening germplasm resources for the wheat stem rust resistance gene Sr26.
