Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of variety breeding identification in molecular biology, in particular to a molecular marker for identifying rubber tree variety 'Yunyan 272', a primer, a kit and an application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an important source of natural rubber worldwide, and its cultivation and yield have a significant impact on economic and industrial development. As the province with the largest rubber tree planting area, yield per hectare and total yield in China, Yunnan Province plays an irreplaceable role in promoting the sustainable development of China's rubber industry. In particular, the breeding and planting strategies of high-yielding, cold-resistant, and powdery mildew-resistant varieties are particularly crucial.

[0003] The rubber tree variety 'Yunyan 272' was bred by the Yunnan Institute of Tropical Crops in 2010 and was authorized in April 2024. Its authorization number is CNA20191004725. It has the advantages of "fast growth, high yield, cold resistance, drought resistance, and powdery mildew resistance." The average stem circumference of a 6-year-old tree in Jinghong is 50 cm at 1.3 meters above ground, with a yield of 1.4 kg of dry rubber per plant. A 13-year-old plant can produce 600 mL of rubber per cut in winter. The cold resistance, drought resistance, and powdery mildew resistance of this variety in the Ruili (elevation 850 meters, dry and poor) and Gengma (elevation 1100 meters, dry and cold, high incidence of powdery mildew) planting areas have successfully passed the test.

[0004] However, due to the narrow genetic basis of the currently cultivated rubber tree varieties and the high similarity of phenotypic traits between varieties, traditional rubber tree variety identification methods mainly rely on morphological characteristics and physiological and biochemical indicators. These phenotype-based identification methods are easily affected by environmental factors, leading to instability in the identification results. The phenotype of rubber tree 'Yunyan 272' is similar to that of other rubber tree varieties, and it is difficult to distinguish them from appearance, and mistakes often occur, leading to variety confusion. The patent with the authorization publication number CN 118064428 B discloses a MNP molecular marker for constructing a DNA fingerprint of rubber tree. It can use 600 pairs of MNP primers to amplify the DNA fingerprint of rubber tree varieties, but it does not explicitly indicate the identification marker for a single variety. Moreover, this method requires high-throughput sequencing to analyze the differences between varieties, which is relatively costly.

[0005] Therefore, developing a new method for identifying a single rubber tree variety that is short in development cycle, low in cost, simple in operation, and significant for solving rubber tree variety confusion, improving rubber tree yield, and ensuring the sustainable development of natural rubber is of great significance.

[0049] Three reproducibility experiments are used for accuracy analysis, and in this example, three independent experiments are performed by different personnel, different batches of reagents and different laboratories, thereby simulating the identification of different batches of Hevea brasiliensis. High reproducibility means that the identification results of different laboratories can be accurately compared with each other.

[0050] Two rubber tree samples to be tested were subjected to reproducibility experiment, and the two samples to be tested were Yunyan 272 and Yunyan 77-4. Each sample to be tested was subjected to three repeated experiments, and the sequence combination of each result was recorded. The specific results are shown in Table 3.
