Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular marker-assisted breeding technology, and in particular to the combination and application of SNP sites and KASP markers related to the content and ratio of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 in Panax notoginseng. Background Technology
[0002] Panax notoginseng, a perennial herb belonging to the genus Panax in the family Araliaceae, is a precious and unique traditional Chinese medicine. Its dried roots and rhizomes are used medicinally, possessing properties that disperse blood stasis, stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that Panax notoginseng exhibits significant activity in cardiovascular protection, anti-inflammation, and antioxidant effects. It is a core ingredient in many traditional Chinese medicine preparations, including Yunnan Baiyao, Xue Sai Tong soft capsules, and Compound Danshen Dripping Pills, and market demand continues to grow.
[0003] Ginsenosides are the most important active components of Panax notoginseng, and their content and composition directly determine the quality of the Panax notoginseng. Among them, ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 are the two monomeric components with the highest content and most clearly defined pharmacological activities in the total saponins of Panax notoginseng. Studies have shown that Rg1 has effects such as improving cognitive function and anti-inflammation, while Rb1 has a protective effect on vascular endothelium. The two work synergistically to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Therefore, the content and ratio of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 are key indicators for evaluating the quality of Panax notoginseng. Targeted cultivation of Panax notoginseng varieties with high Rg1 and Rb1 content and appropriate ratios is of great significance for improving the quality of Panax notoginseng.
[0004] Currently, the breeding of Panax notoginseng varieties mainly adopts the group mixed selection method, relying on phenotypic selection. Panax notoginseng is a perennial plant, and each growth generation requires at least 3 years. Moreover, there is a lack of effective early selection and identification methods, resulting in a breeding cycle of 15 to 20 years and extremely low efficiency. At the same time, the content and ratio of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 in Panax notoginseng are affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Relying solely on phenotypic selection is insufficient to accurately screen out genetically stable and superior germplasm.
[0005] Molecular marker-assisted breeding (MAS) can overcome the limitations of phenotypic selection and achieve early and precise screening of target traits. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have become commonly used markers in molecular breeding due to their wide distribution, high density, and convenient detection. Competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) technology, based on SNP sites, has advantages such as low cost, simple operation, high throughput, and accurate results, making it suitable for large-scale germplasm screening. However, current technologies lack SNP site combinations and corresponding KASP markers that can simultaneously correlate the content and ratio of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1, making it impossible to achieve simultaneous and precise detection and early screening of the content and ratio of Rg1 and Rb1 in Panax notoginseng.
[0006] Therefore, identifying SNP sites that are significantly related to the content and ratio of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 in Panax notoginseng, developing corresponding KASP marker combinations, and establishing efficient detection methods are of great significance for shortening the breeding cycle of Panax notoginseng, improving breeding efficiency, and promoting the high-quality development of the Panax notoginseng industry.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1: Obtaining nucleotide mutation sites (SNPs) related to the content and ratio of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 in Panax notoginseng. (1) DNA extraction and high-throughput sequencing: We collected 271 Panax notoginseng natural population materials, extracted genomic DNA using the CTAB method, and performed 10X whole-genome resequencing.
[0024] (2) Determination of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 content: After drying at 50℃, the sample was pulverized using a pulverizer and passed through a No. 4 sieve. 0.6 g of the sample was accurately weighed using an analytical balance and placed in a 50 ml Erlenmeyer flask. 50 ml of methanol was added, and the flask was weighed. The flask was sealed with sealing film, sonicated for 30 min, and then allowed to stand for 20 h. The sealing film was then removed, and the sample was weighed again. The weight lost due to evaporation was replenished with methanol, and the mixture was shaken well. The solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous membrane to obtain 1 ml of the sample solution. Ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 were quantitatively analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the external standard method. The chromatographic column was an Agilent ZORBAX SB-AQ (3.5µm, 4.6×150mm). The mobile phase consisted of ultrapure water (A) and acetonitrile (B). The gradient elution program was as follows: 0–20 min, 20% (B); 20–55 min, 36% (B); 55–60 min, 40% (B); 60–70 min, 45% (B); 70–79 min, 60% (B); 79–80 min, 80% (B); 80–81.5 min, 80% (B); 81.5–83 min, 20% (B). The flow rate was 0.5 ml / min, the column temperature was 30℃, and the injection volume was 10 µl. The detection wavelength was 203 nm. The compounds were identified based on their retention time, and quantification was performed using the external standard method, with peak area as the quantification basis.
[0025] (3) Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) Using SNP loci as genotypic data and the contents of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 as phenotypic data, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed using EMMAX software with a mixed linear model (MLM). Manhattan plots and QQ-plots were obtained, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown. Using -log 10(P)>6 was used as the threshold. In the Manhattan plot, the X-axis represents each SNP on all chromosomes, and the Y-axis represents the P-value of each SNP. Different colors represent the 12 chromosomes of Panax notoginseng. SNPs above the horizontal line were selected as candidate significant SNP sites. The QQ-plot can infer the rationality of the model and the location of SNP sites by comparing the positions of predicted and observed values. Among them, 9 SNP sites (SNP1-9) that were significantly associated with the content of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 were located on chromosome 11. As shown in Table 1. The sequence allelic variation of SNP3, SNP4, SNP5, and SNP6 was extracted and analyzed in combination with the content of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 in the population material. The ratio of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rg1 / Rb1 content in Panax notoginseng with the genotype combination TT / GG / TT / CC was higher than that in Panax notoginseng with the genotype combination CT / TG / CT / TC or CC / TT / CC / TT. Rb1 showed the opposite trend. Figure 2 As shown.
[0026] Table 1. Nine SNP sites significantly associated with the contents of both ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1. The molecular marker nucleotide sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO.1-4.
[0027] Example 2: Development of SNP-labeled KASP-specific primers Based on the above 9 SNP sites, 4 KASP molecular markers for KASP detection were developed. Using NCBI's Primer-BLAST function, three primers were designed based on the sequence of SEQ ID NO.1: upstream primer SNP-F, upstream primer SNP-H, and downstream primer SNP-F. SNP-F and SNP-H contain FAM and HEX fluorescent linker sequences (underlined), respectively. The sequences are as follows: Table 2 KASP primer sequences Example 3: Genotyping of SNP loci in different Panax notoginseng samples and its application The authenticity of the four KASP molecular markers in the natural population of Panax notoginseng was verified using the high-throughput genotyping system GeneMatrix (GM). Genomic DNA was extracted from 94 randomly selected Panax notoginseng single plants. Using the genomic DNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the SNP marker KASP-specific primers developed in Example 2.
[0028] After diluting the sample DNA 5-fold, transfer it to a 100 μL PCR plate, and add 2 positive controls and 2 negative controls (NTC) to each plate.
[0029] The KASP reaction system consisted of 2 μL, including 1 μL of 2×Master Mix, 1 μL of 20 ng / μL sample DNA, and 0.01 μL of KASP primer mixture, comprising 0.002 μL of upstream primer SNP-F (100 μM), 0.002 μL of upstream primer SNP-H (100 μM), and 0.006 μL of downstream primer SNP-R (100 μM). An equal volume of double-distilled water was used instead of sample DNA in the negative control reaction. The DNA sample plate, primer mixture, and KASP master mix were placed in the corresponding positions on the Arrayer. The 384*1 pipetting protocol was selected, and the DNA and primer mixture were added to the 384-well microplate via the Matrix Arrayer. The device automatically constructed the reaction system and heat-sealed the reaction plate.
[0030] The PCR amplification program requires four stages: Stage 1 is pre-denaturation at 95℃ for 10 min; Stage 2 is continuous denaturation at 95℃ for 20 s and annealing at 61℃ for 40 s, for a total of 10 cycles (each cycle decreasing by 0.6℃); Stage 3 is denaturation at 95℃ for 20 s and annealing at 55℃ for 40 s, for a total of 40 cycles.
[0031] After PCR amplification, remove the reaction plate and allow it to cool to room temperature before placing it in a scanner for fluorescence scanning. Use a Matrix Scanner to read the fluorescence signal values and perform genotyping and clustering of the samples. Samples displayed in blue near the Y-axis represent alleles linked to the HEX fluorescent tag sequence; samples displayed in red near the X-axis represent alleles linked to the FAM fluorescent tag sequence. Figure 3 As shown.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
