Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Brassica napus breeding, and in particular to a method for improving a dominant nuclear sterile homozygous two-type line of Brassica napus. Background Art

[0002] As an important oil crop in the world, the utilization of heterosis of Brassica napus is an effective way to improve its yield and quality and enhance its stress resistance. c , sterility gene Ms5 b , the gene Ms5 that restores the sterility gene to fertility a , the explicit and implicit relationship among the three is Ms5 a >Ms5 b >Ms5 c ) controlled genetic model, using a homozygous two-type line, a temporary protection line and a restorer line to produce rapeseed hybrid seeds. In the seed production process, the sterile plants (genotype Ms5) in the homozygous two-type line are first selected. b Ms5 b ) and Linbao line (genotype Ms5 c Ms5 c ) hybridization to produce a fully sterile line, and the following year the fully sterile line was used as the female parent and the restorer line (genotype Ms5 a Ms5 a ) is the male parent to produce hybrid seeds under natural isolation conditions.

[0003] Generally, in breeding, the homozygous two-type lines used to cultivate hybrids are mainly obtained through the following steps:

[0004] (1) Breeding of heterozygous two-type lines with near-isogenic characteristics to the recurrent parent: using the existing dominant genic male sterile lines (Ms5 b Ms5 c ) as the female parent, and the excellent variety (Ms5 c Ms5 c , and used as the recurrent parent) by hybridization and continuous backcrossing to cultivate a heterozygous two-type line (Ms5 b Ms5 c +Ms5 c Ms5 c ).

[0005] (2) Selection of restorer lines with near-isogenic characteristics to the recurrent parent: Based on the existing dominant nuclear sterile restorer line (Ms5 a Ms5 a ) as the female parent, and hybridized and backcrossed with the recurrent parent described in (1). In the backcross process, the homozygous sterile plant (Ms5 b Ms5 b) as the female parent, and perform test cross on the backcross progeny. Select the backcross progeny corresponding to the testcross combination with fertility separation, and continue backcrossing with the recurrent parent. After backcrossing 3 times, select the backcross progeny corresponding to the testcross combination with fertility separation for self-pollination and test cross, and cultivate the restorer line (Ms5) that is nearly isogenic with the recurrent parent described in (1). a Ms5 a ).

[0006] (3) Selection of homozygous two-type lines: Select the sterile plants (Ms5 b Ms5 c ) and (2) the restored line (Ms5 a Ms5 a ) and then from its F1 population (Ms5 a Ms5 b +Ms5 a Ms5 c ) and then select sterile plants and fertile plants from the self-pollination group with fertility separation for brother-sister crosses. The brother-sister cross combination with fertility separation is the homozygous two-type line (Ms5 a Ms5 b +Ms5 b Ms5 b ).

[0007] The existing technology has the following disadvantages: the workload of backcross breeding is large, that is, the gene Ms5 must be used separately. a and Ms5 b Backcross breeding is carried out for the target gene. Genotype identification is a large workload, that is, the gene Ms5 a When backcrossing is carried out for the purpose of breeding, the backcross offspring must be tested with homozygous sterile plants to screen for the allele Ms5. a Individual. Ms5 a and Ms5 b After the backcross breeding is completed, the two near-isogenic lines should be hybridized again to integrate Ms5 a and Ms5 b After integrating into the same group, self-pollination and brother-sister cross-pollination are used to select homozygous two-type lines.

[0008] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention uses the existing homozygous sterile line as Ms5 b Donor, and superior varieties (Ms5 c Ms5 c , recurrent parent) hybridization and continuous backcrossing to cultivate heterozygous two-type lines (Ms5 b Ms5 c +Ms5 c Ms5 c); when the sterile plants in the heterozygous two-type line first bloom (Ms5 b Ms5 c If there are individual fertile stamens, self-pollinate them through assisted pollination and bagging, and then use the seeds obtained from self-pollination to establish test tube plantlets; with the help of dominant nuclear sterile molecular marker-assisted selection, retain the homozygous sterile line (Ms5) that is nearly isogenic to the recurrent parent. b Ms5 b ); then the excellent recovery line (Ms5 a Ms5 a ) is Ms5 a The donor was hybridized and backcrossed with the newly bred homozygous sterile line to obtain a homozygous two-type line (Ms5 b Ms5 b +Ms5 a Ms5 b ).

A single plant numbered 19-BC301-7 had a very small amount of pollen on the stamens of the first few flowers at the time of initial flowering. This pollen was used to assist in pollination of other flowers on the plant and self-pollinated in bags. After bagging, 53 BC3F2 seeds were obtained from the sterile plant. These seeds were used as donors to establish test tube plantlets (numbered 19CV07). The molecular marker BE10 was then used to identify the genotype of these test tube plantlets. After identification, only a 305bp amplification band was found in 13 test tube plantlets, indicating that the genotype of these individual plants was Ms5. b Ms5 b , which are homozygous sterile plants, retain the corresponding test tube seedlings for propagation. In November, some test tube seedlings will be stored in the field.

[0049] In 2020, 20-CV07 was used as the female parent and the dominant nuclear sterile restorer line 'Huyou 3302' was used as the male parent to obtain the F1 population.

[0050] In 2021, all F1 populations 21-CV701 were fertile. Using this as the male parent and 20-CV07 as the female parent, backcrossing was performed to obtain the BC1 population.

[0051] In 2022, fertility segregation was observed in the BC1 population. Backcrossing was continued using the fertile plant as the male parent and 20-CV07 as the female parent to obtain the BC2 population.

[0052] In 2023, fertility segregation was observed in the BC2 population. Backcrossing was continued using the fertile plant as the male parent and 20-CV07 as the female parent to obtain the BC3 population.

[0053] In 2024, fertility segregation was observed in the BC3 population. With the fertile plant as the male parent and 20-CV07 as the female parent, backcrossing was continued to obtain the BC4 population, which was a homozygous two-type line (Ms5) with near-isogenic characteristics to the recurrent parent. b Ms5 b +Ms5 a Ms5b ).
