Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to a SNP molecular marker combination for identifying taro germplasm resources and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is a perennial plant of Araceae, which is usually planted as an annual plant and contains more starch than potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops. According to the statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the global taro planting area was 39,000 hectares in 2020, and taro is considered to be the fifth most important root crop in the world and has become an important food crop in tropical and subtropical countries. Taro has been cultivated in China for more than 2,300 years. In the long process of cultivation, various local varieties have been formed due to environmental factors and human selection in different regions.
[0003] Germplasm resources are the premise of breeding, and accurate evaluation of germplasm resources can greatly improve the utilization rate of materials by breeders or researchers. Traditional field phenotype evaluation and identification can only visually investigate resources, and is greatly affected by subjective personal judgment and objective environmental factors. However, the current popular DNA molecular marker technology can distinguish intra- and inter-species individual differences based on crop genetic information, has a short cycle, is not affected by environment and biological development cycle, has no tissue specificity, has high-throughput detection, and has been widely used in genetic diversity analysis and fingerprinting of germplasm resources. As the third generation of molecular marker technology, SNP has the characteristics of large number, stable genetic force, simple and rapid operation, wide application, etc.
[0004] There are few studies on the genetic diversity analysis of taro resources. Wang et al. analyzed the genetic diversity of 234 taro germplasm resources from 16 provinces in China using whole genome SNP markers, and considered that the test materials could be divided into 8 groups. Pan et al. developed high-density InDel SSR sites covering the entire genome based on the resequencing data of taro core germplasm, and divided 121 resources into three groups, but they did not screen out core markers for subsequent effective use. Guo et al. screened 22 pairs of SSR molecular markers from 100 pairs of SSR molecular markers, and completed the genetic diversity analysis of 109 taro resources, providing useful markers for the identification and evaluation of taro resources. However, SSR markers rely on PCR amplification and electrophoresis analysis, and compared with SNP, its throughput is lower, time-consuming is longer, and genetic stability is lower. SUMMARY

[0050] The object of the application is achieved by the following technical solutions.
[0051] 1. Materials and methods
[0052] 1.1 Materials
[0053] The materials used in the experiment are taro germplasm resources provided by the Vegetable Research Institute of Hunan Agricultural Academy (Table 1). According to the detection of ploidy in the early stage, 29 resources are divided into three groups, wherein A is diploid, B and C are triploid. All the materials are planted in the Gaoqiao Research Base of the Agricultural Academy in Gaoqiao Town, Changsha County, Hunan Province.
[0054] Table 1 Basic information of 29 taro resources
[0055]
[0056]
[0057] 1.2 Genome sequencing
[0058] Fresh leaves were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen. Genomic DNA was extracted using a kit and the quality of the DNA was detected by 0.8% agarose gel electrophoresis. After quantification by ultraviolet spectrophotometer, the library with an insert size of 400 was constructed according to the standard library construction process of the TruSeq DNA PCR-free prep kit reagent of Illumina Company. The library was subjected to double-end sequencing based on the Illumuna NovaSeq sequencing platform.
[0059] 1.3 SNP analysis
[0060] To ensure the quality of subsequent analysis, the raw data was filtered using the fastp (v0.20.0) sliding window method, the contaminated adapters were removed, the reads with an average Q value of bases <20 and a length <50 bp in the window were deleted, and high-quality sequences were generated. The filtered high-quality data was aligned to the reference genome of taro using the bwa (0.7.12-r1039) mem program. (https: / / ftp.cngb.org / pub / CNSA / data2 / CNP0001082 / CNS0231432 / CNA0014218 / ). GATK software was used for SNP detection. To ensure the reliability of the SNP sites, the obtained SNP sites were further screened according to the following standards: (1) Fisher test of strand bias (FS) ≤60, (2) Haplotype Score ≤13.0, (3) Mapping Quality (MQ) ≥40, (4) Quality Depth (QD) ≥2, (5) ReadPosRankSum ≥-8.0, (6) MQRankSum >-12.5. ANNOVAR software was used for annotation of the filtered SNP sites.
[0061] 1.4 SNP screening and primer design
[0062] Further preliminary screening of SNP sites: (1) minimum allele frequency (MAF) >0.4; (2) false negative rate <0.25; (3) heterozygosity <0.6; (4) no other mutations at 50 bp on both sides of the SNP site. The 50 bp sequence upstream and downstream of the SNP was extracted. According to the TBtools software, the sequence was aligned on the reference genome, and the single aligned sequence was selected on Primer5 for primer design.
[0063] 1.5 Development of PARMS-SNP markers
[0064] The typing reagents of PARMS-SNP were from Wuhan Jingpeibio Technology Co., Ltd. 22 samples were randomly selected for preliminary primer screening, and water was used as a negative control. Primer pairs with good typing results were selected for genetic analysis of 72 materials. PIC, MAF (minimum allele frequency), GD (genetic diversity), and HE (heterozygosity) were calculated using Powermarker software.
[0065] 1.6 Genetic diversity analysis
[0066] Genetic diversity analysis was performed on the typing results of 72 materials. PCA analysis was performed using the ade4R software package. Powermarker was used to construct the phylogenetic tree. The K value was calculated using the Structure Harvester software and the optimal K value was obtained. At the same time, Admixture software (http: / / dalexander.github.io / admixture) combined with SNP information, set the K=2-10 (assuming the existence of 2-7 ancestral populations) model as a mixed model, and used the default settings of the software to analyze the genetic structure of the population. DPS software was used to perform cluster analysis on the phenotypic traits of taro resources using Euclidean distance and sum of squares.
[0067] 1.7 Construction of 72 taro fingerprints
[0068] According to the results, Excel was used to construct the fingerprint. Table 2 shows the relevant sequences of 27 core primers. The genotypes of the best combination of markers were plotted as a heatmap for fingerprinting, with each row representing a SNP site and each column representing a sample. The color coding of the genotypes is as follows: CT = yellow, TT = light green, CC = blue, GG = purple, GC = black, GA = dark red, TG = green, AT = gray, AA = red, CA = white; and no called genotypes are designated as NN = brown.

[0074] 2 Results
[0075] 2.1 Genome sequencing and reference genome alignment
[0076] A total of 10Gb of clean data was obtained, with a Q30 of over 95%. After filtering the raw data using the fastp (v0.20.0) sliding window method, over 55,978,374 high-quality reads were obtained, with a minimum high-quality read alignment rate of 91.79%.
[0077] High-quality reads were aligned to the reference genome. Alignment rates for reads 60, 34, and 45 were low, at approximately 60%. Alignment rates for the other samples were at least 99.3%, with duplicate alignment rates no higher than 18%. Sequencing depths of the samples were above 3×, indicating that the data can be used for the development and screening of SNP markers.
[0078] 2.3 Development of PARMS-SNP markers
[0079] Based on the results of simplified genome sequencing, 252 SNPs were identified from 86,596,792 SNPs. These 252 SNPs were further screened to identify PARMS-SNP markers. Twenty-two random samples were used to validate the 252 primer sets, resulting in a total of 36 usable PARMS-SNP markers. These 36 primer sets were typed in 72 taro samples, and the results of each typing were recorded. Nine primer sets with sample loss rates greater than 15% were removed, resulting in a total of 27 usable primer sets.
[0080] The 27 primer pairs were used to genotype 72 taro resources. Figure 1 As shown in the results, the MAF values of these 27 primer sets ranged from 0.51 to 0.92, with an average MAF value of 0.63; the PIC values ranged from 0.14 to 0.37, with an average PIC value of 0.34; the HE values ranged from 0.07 to 0.90, with an average of 0.49; and the GD values ranged from 0.15 to 0.50, with an average of 0.45. These results indicate that these primers have good genetic diversity and can be used for genetic diversity analysis of taro.
[0081] 2.4 Genetic diversity analysis of 72 taro resources
[0082] As Figure 2 shown, when analyzing the population structure and selecting K = 2-7 model as the mixed model, it is found that when K = 6, the CV error value is closer to 0, indicating that it is more appropriate to divide the 72 taro resources into 6 groups.
[0083] Using GCTA software and SNP data (excluding SNPs with MAF less than 0.05), principal component analysis was performed, as shown in Figure 3 shown, it is found that the 72 resources are divided into multiple groups, and the diploid and triploid are not clustered together. The use of evolutionary tree further confirms this conclusion. Cluster analysis was carried out based on the quality trait results of the field phenotypic trait investigation of 72 resources. It is found that the constructed evolutionary tree is mostly matched with the phenotypic cluster, but there are some resources that are different in classification between the two.
[0084] 2.5 Construction of fingerprint of 72 taro resources
[0085] As Figure 4 shown, the fingerprint of 72 local resources was constructed using 27 pairs of primers, and the research results show that these 27 markers can effectively distinguish resources. Among these resources, samples 40 and 121, 97 and 17, and 59 and 37 show differences at only one site, indicating that there is potential similarity between varieties. These are also very similar in phenotypic traits.
[0086] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present application and the advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
