Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of germplasm resource identification technology, and in particular to a primer set and kit for identifying waterlogging-resistant kiwifruit resources, as well as the identification method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Based on current research on waterlogging stress in plants, it has been clearly established that waterlogging tolerance in plants is a quantitative trait controlled by multiple gene loci. Therefore, it is difficult to develop molecular markers with high accuracy. Preliminary judgment is often made by the expression levels of related differentially expressed genes. However, there are not many differentially expressed gene sequences in resistant and susceptible materials, and it is also difficult to find regularity in the sequences in materials with different resistances. Therefore, it is difficult to develop them into effective molecular markers.

[0003] Kiwifruit plants have a fleshy, shallow root system, with the root system concentrated in the 0-40cm depth below the soil surface. Kiwifruit is extremely sensitive to waterlogging stress and is a fruit tree resource that is highly intolerant of waterlogging. Waterlogging can cause kiwifruit leaves to wilt and fall off, stems to dry out, and even the death of the entire plant. In major kiwifruit producing areas in southern my country, such as Sichuan, Chongqing, and Hunan, the high annual rainfall and heavy clay soils make orchards highly susceptible to waterlogging.

[0004] Currently, the identification of waterlogging-tolerant fruit tree germplasm resources mainly relies on pot flooding tests. It is important to ensure that the growth vigor of the resources used in the initial stage of flooding is basically the same, and the test takes a long time, generally 3 to 10 days. The operation is also relatively cumbersome. Generally, the germplasm resources to be identified need to be planted in containers such as plastic seedling pots of appropriate size. The seedling pots also need to have a relatively uniform cultivation substrate. After the roots are completely submerged for a period of time, the damage symptoms of the leaves and stems above ground are investigated and statistically analyzed in order to obtain relatively accurate identification results. However, in practice, the investigation and statistical analysis of above-ground symptoms is difficult to control. Aside from extreme phenotypes such as complete plant withering or death, other symptoms, such as the degree of yellowing or wilting of leaves, the number and size of withered parts (the proportion of withered area to the entire leaf, sometimes only a portion of a leaf is wilted or withered while the rest remains intact), and the degree of stem withering (upper part of the stem withered, lower part intact), are all subject to the subjective influence of the investigator. This leads to inconsistent identification results, affecting the accurate identification of resistant resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a rapid and accurate method for identifying flood-resistant resources at the molecular level for molecular marker-assisted breeding to cultivate new kiwifruit varieties with strong flood resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a primer set and reagent kit for identifying waterlogging-tolerant kiwifruit resources, as well as the identification method thereof. The identification method of this invention is simple and easy to operate, and the identification results have been verified by pot waterlogging tolerance tests. The results are accurate and reliable, which can realize the rapid screening of waterlogging-tolerant kiwifruit germplasm resources and accelerate the process of stress-resistant molecular breeding of kiwifruit.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0017] Further, the method for extracting kiwifruit genomic DNA in step (1) is as follows: take 2-3 tender kiwifruit leaves, add liquid nitrogen to completely submerge the leaves, grind the leaves for 2-3 minutes, take 100-200 mg of the ground leaves, extract kiwifruit leaf genomic DNA using a plant genomic DNA extraction kit, and adjust the concentration of the DNA stock solution to 20-40 ng / μL.

[0020] Furthermore, the specific method for comparing the sequencing results with the flood-resistant resource sequence in step (4) is as follows: the sequencing results are compared with the flood-resistant resource sequence using the "multiple sequence alignment" function of the biological software DNAMAN.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] This invention uses specific primer sets for amplification and sequence alignment of the amplification results with flood-resistant resource sequences to identify flood-resistant resources based on the differences in loci. The identification results have been verified by field pot flooding experiments, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the marker identification results. This marker can be used for flood-resistant molecular breeding of kiwifruit, accelerating the early screening and breeding process of stress-resistant resources in kiwifruit.

[0031] In this invention, the detection reagent includes PCR mix and ddH2O.

[0032] In this invention, the PCR mix was purchased from Zhengzhou Pulehai Technology Co., Ltd.

[0033] This invention also provides a method for identifying flood-tolerant kiwifruit resources using the above-mentioned primer set or kit, comprising the following steps:

[0034] (1) Extract genomic DNA from the kiwifruit to be tested;

[0035] (2) Using the genomic DNA extracted in step (1) as a template, perform PCR amplification using the primer set described in claim 1;

[0037] (4) Compare the sequencing results of step (3) with the waterlogging-resistant resource sequence. If a 7bp CAGATAT sequence is present at position 153-159, the kiwifruit to be tested is a waterlogging-resistant resource; otherwise, it is a non-waterlogging-resistant resource.

[0038] In this invention, the genomic DNA of the kiwifruit to be tested is first extracted. The method for extracting the kiwifruit genomic DNA is as follows: take 2-3 young kiwifruit leaves, add liquid nitrogen to completely submerge the leaves, grind the leaves for 2-3 minutes, and then grind the leaves for 3-5 minutes, preferably 3.5-4.5 minutes, and more preferably 4 minutes; take the ground leaves and extract the kiwifruit leaf genomic DNA using a plant genomic DNA extraction kit (purchased from Zhengzhou Pulehai Technology Co., Ltd.), and the extraction method refers to the instructions of the DNA extraction kit; the amount of ground leaves used is 100-200 mg, preferably 120-180 mg, and more preferably 140-160 mg.

[0043] After obtaining the amplification product, the present invention performs sequencing on the amplification product to obtain sequencing results.

[0044] After obtaining the sequencing results, this invention compares the sequencing results with the sequences of flood-resistant resources. If a 7bp CAGATAT sequence is present at positions 153-159, the kiwifruit to be tested is a flood-resistant resource; if a 7bp CAGATAT sequence is not present at positions 153-159, the kiwifruit to be tested is a non-flood-resistant resource.

[0045] In this invention, the method for comparing the sequencing results with the flood-resistant resource sequence is as follows: the sequencing results are compared with the flood-resistant resource sequence using the "multiple sequence alignment" function of the biological software DNAMAN.

[0059] (1) Select two tender kiwifruit leaves and place them in a ceramic mortar. Add an appropriate amount of liquid nitrogen to ensure that the leaves are completely submerged.

[0063] The PCR reaction system, in 20 μl units, includes the following components: 2 μL of 100 nmol / L forward primer 78F, 2 μL of 100 nmol / L reverse primer 78R, 12 μL of PCR mix, 2 μL of DNA template, and 2 μL of ddH2O.

[0067] Experimental Example

[0068] The identification method described in Example 1 was used to identify 18 kiwifruit germplasm resources preserved by the research group. The resource codes are: KR5, KR6, KR7, ZMH, DZH, DAZ, ZM2, HJG, HYA, HWD, BOSX, M52, BLN, XUX, CHY, CHG, HR1, and HR2. The PCR amplification results of the genomic DNA of the 18 kiwifruit germplasm resources are shown in the figure. Figure 1 The results after sequence alignment using biological software are shown below. Figure 2 ,Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that KR5, KR6, KR7, ZMH, DZH and DAZ are flood-resistant resources, and each contains a 7bp sequence (CAGATAT) at positions 153-159. The other 12 resources are flood-intolerant resources and do not contain this sequence.

[0069] Twelve germplasm resources were selected, designated as DZH, DAZ, ZM2, HJG, HYA, HWD, BOSX, M52, BLN, XUX, CHY, and CHG. Since KR5, KR6, KR7, ZMH, and DZH belong to different strains of the same kiwifruit species, only DZH was selected for the flooding experiment. Similarly, HR1, HR2, and XUX belong to different strains of the same kiwifruit species, so only XUX was selected for the flooding experiment. The results of the flood-tolerant resources in Example 1 were verified using a potted flooding experiment. The results are shown in [Figure 1]. Figure 3 ,Depend on Figure 3 It was found that after 10 days of flooding, the above-ground parts of samples DZH and DAZ still showed new shoots and normal growth, without obvious symptoms of leaf wilting, yellowing, or stem drying, indicating they were flood-tolerant resources. The other eight samples showed obvious damage and were not flood-tolerant. The identification results from the pot experiment were consistent with the results obtained by the identification method of this invention, namely, DZH and DAZ are flood-tolerant resources, as the 78F and 78R primer amplification sequences both contain a 7bp sequence (CAGATAT) at positions 153-159; the other 10 resources are not flood-tolerant resources, as the 78F and 78R primer amplification sequences do not contain this 7bp sequence. This demonstrates the accuracy and reliability of the identification method of this invention in identifying flood-tolerant kiwifruit resources.

[0070] As can be seen from the above embodiments and experimental examples, the present invention provides a primer set and kit for identifying waterlogging-resistant kiwifruit resources and its identification method. The identification method of the present invention is simple and easy to operate, and the identification results have been verified by potted waterlogging resistance tests. The results are accurate and reliable, which can realize the rapid screening of waterlogging-resistant kiwifruit germplasm resources and accelerate the process of stress-resistant molecular breeding of kiwifruit.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
