[0025] (II) SSR marker screening
[0026] A total of 180 SSR markers of single nucleotide, di-nucleotide, tri-nucleotide, tetra-nucleotide, penta-nucleotide, and hexa-nucleotide were selected from the Momordica charantia whole genome. Through PCR amplification and polymorphism analysis, 40 SSR markers with higher polymorphism were screened for further analysis. The information of the 40 polymorphic SSR markers of Momordica charantia is shown in Table 1.

[0030] (2) 94°C pre-denaturation for 5 min.
[0031] (3) 30 cycles (94°C denaturation for 30 s, 55°C annealing for 30 s, and 72°C extension for 1 min per cycle).
[0032] (4) Final extension at 72°C for 10 min.
[0033] (5) The amplified product was detected by 6% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, electrophoresis was performed at 180 V for 2 hours, and the band type was recorded after development with silver staining solution.
[0034] (Four) polymorphism analysis
[0035] (1) According to the amplification results, the amplification rate and polymorphism rate of the SSR marker were calculated.
[0036] (2) The polymorphism information content (PIC) was calculated using PowerMarker software, and 11 core markers with PIC values greater than 0.50 were screened out.
[0037] (Five) Cluster analysis
[0038] According to the "0-1" matrix of the amplification results, UPGMA method in NTSYS-pc software was used for cluster analysis of Momordica charantia var. abel var. abel germplasm. At a genetic similarity coefficient of 0.80, the 26 Momordica charantia var. abel var. abel germplasms were clustered into three main groups (see Figure 1 ).
[0039] (Six) Fingerprint construction
[0040] From the selected core SSR markers, the markers with higher PIC and easier to read band type (MC05_69594, MC04_50530, MC06_87314, MC10_146038) were preferentially selected for fingerprint construction. According to the PCR amplification band type of 4 high-efficiency SSR core markers in 26 Momordica charantia var. abel var. abel germplasms, the fingerprint information was represented in the form of digital coding ( Figure 2). After encoding, the DNA banding fingerprint code of each material has 4 digits, and each digit represents the banding of each corresponding marker amplification (Table 2). For example, the 'Donglai' fingerprint code is "1-1-1-1", which means that 'Donglai' contains 1 band of primer MC05_69594, 1 band of primer MC04_50530, 1 band of primer MC06_87314, and 1 band of primer MC10_146038.
