Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of molecular biology and plant molecular breeding technology, specifically relating to the CdS-RNase gene insertion mutation in Camellia oleifera from Vietnam and its molecular identification methods and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Camellia drupifera, commonly known as Vietnamese camellia, is the third most widely cultivated camellia species in my country, primarily distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan provinces. It is renowned for its large, heavy fruit, high seed yield, and high oil content. The cultivation and planting of Vietnamese camellia is an important component of tropical high-efficiency agriculture, playing a vital role in increasing farmers' income and ensuring national food and oil security. However, Vietnamese camellia is a strictly cross-pollinated plant, with an extremely low self-pollination fruit set rate (<5%). This self-incompatibility limitation has resulted in a generally low yield, a problem that has long plagued Vietnamese camellia breeders and growers, hindering its rapid promotion and negatively impacting the improvement of quality and efficiency in tropical high-efficiency agriculture.

[0003] Previous studies have shown that self-incompatibility in Camellia oleifera var. praecox belongs to the late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI) type, mainly controlled by the self-incompatibility locus, and may also be regulated by other self-incompatibility-related factors. Our team previously identified the CdS-RNase gene, a pistil-determining factor at the S-locus of self-incompatibility in Camellia oleifera var. praecox. This not only confirmed that crossbreeding between Camellia oleifera var. praecox germplasm of different CdS-RNase protein types significantly improved the fruit setting rate, but also discovered the presence of a mutant CdS-RNase gene (CdS...). m The self-pollination and fruit setting rate of Camellia oleifera var. chinensis in Vietnam was significantly improved by CdS-RNase. Subsequently, our team analyzed the diversity of CdS-RNase genes and their encoded proteins in 78 Camellia oleifera var. chinensis germplasm resources from Hainan Island, finding that the CdS-RNase gene and its encoded protein diversity in Camellia oleifera var. chinensis var. chinensis were rich in CdS-RNase genes and their encoded proteins. Based on the CdS-RNase protein type, the Camellia oleifera var. chinensis germplasm was divided into three categories: Type I, where only normal CdS-RNase protein was detected; Type II, where both normal CdS-RNase protein and mutant CdS-RNase protein were detected. m -RNase protein; Type III, only mutant CdS detected m -RNase protein. In Vietnamese Camellia oleifera germplasm resources, the self-pollination fruit set rate of type I germplasm was significantly lower than that of type II, and the self-pollination fruit set rate of type II germplasm was significantly lower than that of type III, indicating that the CdS mutation... m -RNase protein can improve the self-pollination fruit setting rate of Camellia oleifera in Vietnam to a certain extent.

[0004] Therefore, rapid screening for CdS mCdS-RNase gene mutations in Vietnamese Camellia oleifera germplasm are of positive significance for guiding the field pairing of different CdS-RNase genotypes in Vietnamese Camellia oleifera and improving the low self-pollination fruit set rate. However, there is still no information on how to quickly screen Vietnamese Camellia oleifera germplasm containing CdS-RNase. m Methods for RNase mutants reported. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention, through CdS-RNase gene diversity analysis and haplotype classification in two Camellia oleifera germplasms from Vietnam, identified two CdS-RNase genes containing a 64bp insertion fragment in two Camellia oleifera germplasms. m -RNase type, encoding a truncated mutant CdS m -RNase protein type. This invention develops specific primer pairs based on a 64bp insertion mutation in the CdS-RNase gene, identifying the CdS-RNase gene mutation according to the size of the PCR amplified fragment. Based on optimized PCR reaction system and amplification conditions, a method for rapid detection of the 64bp insertion mutation in the CdS-RNase gene based on PCR amplification has been developed, improving the efficiency of screening for CdS-RNase gene mutants, a key factor in self-incompatibility and pistil determination in Camellia oleifera from Vietnam.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first aspect of this invention provides a 64bp insertion mutation in the CdS-RNase gene, a self-incompatible pistil-determining factor in Camellia oleifera from Vietnam.

[0008] A second aspect of this invention provides a primer pair for detecting a 64bp insertion mutation in the CdS-RNase gene, a pistil-determining factor in self-incompatibility in Camellia oleifera from Vietnam, comprising the following primer sequences:

[0009] Forward primer F: 5'-TGCAAYGCCTAGCAGTTC-3';

[0010] Reverse primer R: 5'-TGGRTAAGTGCCGTCGTT-3';

[0011] Where Y represents T / C degeneracy and R represents G / A degeneracy, used to amplify the 64bp insertion region gene sequence of the CdS-RNase gene.

[0012] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for analyzing and identifying the 64bp insertion mutation of the CdS-RNase gene, a self-incompatible pistil-determining factor in the above-mentioned Camellia oleifera from Vietnam. The method uses the cDNA of Camellia oleifera from Vietnam to be identified as an amplification template, performs PCR amplification on the template using the above-mentioned primer pair, and determines the 64bp insertion mutation of the CdS-RNase gene, a self-incompatible pistil-determining factor in the above-mentioned Camellia oleifera from Vietnam to be identified, based on the size of the amplification product.

[0013] Furthermore, the PCR amplification reaction system is 20 μL: 10 μL of 2×PhantaMax MasterMix, 0.5 μL each of 10 μM forward and reverse primers, 1 μL of cDNA template, and 8 μL of ddH2O;

[0015] Furthermore, the method for determining the 64bp insertion mutation in the CdS-RNase gene, the pistil-determining factor for self-incompatibility in Camellia oleifera from Vietnam, was electrophoresis detection.

[0016] Furthermore, the cDNA of the Vietnamese Camellia oleifera to be identified was obtained by extracting RNA from the style of the Camellia oleifera to be identified and reverse transcribing it.

[0017] Furthermore, the basis for determining the size of the amplification product is as follows:

[0018] When the PCR amplification product fragment length is 243bp, it is determined to contain a 64bp CdS mutation. m -RNase Vietnamese Camellia oleifera germplasm;

[0019] When the PCR amplification product fragment length is 179bp, it is determined to be a normal CdS-RNase Vietnamese Camellia oleifera germplasm without the 64bp mutation.

[0020] The fourth aspect of this invention provides an application in screening for CdS-RNase gene mutants, which are the pistil determinants of self-incompatibility in Camellia oleifera from Vietnam.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] This invention, based on a newly discovered CdS-RNase mutation containing a 64bp insert fragment, rationally designed primer pairs and optimized PCR systems and amplification conditions to develop a rapid detection method for this mutation type. An example demonstrates its effectiveness in detecting CdS-RNase mutants containing the 64bp insert fragment in Vietnamese Camellia oleifera. This invention can rapidly screen Vietnamese Camellia oleifera germplasm resources containing CdS-RNase. m The mutant of CdS-RNase can improve the screening efficiency of CdS-RNase mutants, which are the key determinants of self-incompatibility in Camellia oleifera in Vietnam. This is of positive significance for guiding the matching of different CdS-RNase genotypes among parents in Camellia oleifera in Vietnam and improving the low self-pollination fruit setting rate of Camellia oleifera in Vietnam.
