Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a molecular marker related to the dry weight of the aerial part of sorghum and an application thereof in the field of molecular biotechnology, and in particular to a SNP molecular marker of a sorghum SbSOS1 gene and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Salt stress is an increasingly serious environmental problem worldwide, with approximately 1 billion hm 2 of cultivated land is affected differently by salinization. Salt stress is a key factor affecting crop growth, distribution and production, mainly affecting some intracellular processes such as photosynthesis, ion balance, protein and lipid synthesis, and hormone and metabolic imbalances. These harmful effects caused by salt ultimately lead to a reduction in crop yields. As an important type of abiotic stress, salt stress seriously restricts the sustainable development of agriculture.

[0003] Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), also known as sorghum, is an annual herbaceous plant of the genus Sorghum in the Poaceae family. It is one of the world's five major cereal crops and a C4 crop. It is widely planted in arid, semi-arid tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. Globally, sorghum is used for animal feed, feed, and high-value products such as syrup and bioethanol. As an important food and cash crop, sorghum has strong drought resistance, waterlogging resistance and salt-alkali resistance. Among them, sweet sorghum is considered to be one of the C4 forage crops with the most potential for salt-alkali tolerant variety development. Sorghum has attracted much attention as a food, forage and energy crop. In particular, the increasing demand for forage in the development of my country's grass and animal husbandry industry has attracted more and more attention to sweet sorghum, a forage with high yield, high sugar content and rich nutrition. It is also widely regarded as a new forage crop with development potential.

[0004] KASP (Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR) achieves the effect of genotyping by specifically identifying gene loci with fluorescent probes, and can be used to detect SNP loci and InDel loci. Compared with molecular markers such as SSR, RFLP, and InDel, KASP markers have the characteristics of rapid detection, low cost, and easy large-scale application. KASP markers do not need to be typed according to the size of DNA fragments, and can get rid of the relatively cumbersome steps and low throughput of traditional gel electrophoresis detection methods, and are suitable for high-throughput molecular detection platforms. Therefore, studying the genes that regulate the aboveground dry weight, obtaining KASP molecular markers that are closely linked to the aboveground dry weight genes, locating and detecting the main effect gene loci of the aboveground dry weight of sorghum, effectively regulating the aboveground dry weight type of sorghum, and breeding new sorghum varieties with the expected aboveground dry weight type have important application value for improving the breeding efficiency and breeding level of sorghum in my country.

[0040] The 246 sorghum inbred line association populations in the following examples were provided by the Jing Haichun Laboratory of the Key Laboratory of Northern Resource Plants, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The detailed information of this association population can be found in the published article: Xiaoyuan Wu, et al.. Genomic footprints of sorghum domestication and breeding selection for multiple end uses. Molecular Plant, 2022, VOLUME 15, ISSUE 3, P537 - 551 (DOI: https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.molp.2022.01.002). The detailed variety information is shown in Table 1.

[0041] Example 1. Discovery of SNP molecular markers related to the dry weight of the above - ground part of sorghum

[0042] I. Statistics of the dry weight of the above - ground part of the test materials

[0043] 1. Planting of the test materials

[0044] In 2021, 246 sorghum inbred line association population germplasm resources were planted in the slightly saline - alkali soil of the Agricultural High - tech Zone in Dongying City, Shandong Province, China. A randomized complete block design was used. The experimental plot was 3 m long and 2 m wide, with 5 rows planted, 10 plants in each row, the plant spacing was 0.3 m, and the row spacing was 0.5 m. Normal irrigation was carried out.

[0045] 2. Statistics of the dry weight of the above - ground part of the test materials

[0046] After the 246 sorghum inbred line association populations were fully mature, 3 plants were selected from each material, and the dry weight of the above - ground part of the main stem of each plant was statistically analyzed. The average value of three replicates was used as the final result of the dry weight of the above - ground part of this sample, as shown in the dry weight of the above - ground part in Table 1.

[0047] II. Discovery of SNP molecular markers related to the gene SbSOS1

[0048] 1. Whole - genome sequencing of the 246 sorghum inbred line association populations

[0049] The whole - genome sequencing data of the 246 sorghum inbred line association populations were provided by the Jing Haichun Laboratory of the Key Laboratory of Northern Resource Plants, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

[0050] 2. Discovery of SNP molecular markers related to the gene SbSOS1

[0051] According to the dry weight of the above-ground part of sorghum inbred lines and their genome sequencing results, an SNP locus related to the dry weight of the above-ground part of sorghum, SbSOS1, was screened out. This SNP corresponds to the 62,627,576th position on chromosome 8 of sorghum inbred line BTx623 (BTx623(v3.1) sorghum genome sequence information), and its nucleotide is C or G, corresponding to the 880th position of SEQ ID No.1 in the sequence listing. In SEQ ID No.1 of the sequence listing, s represents g or c.

[0052] The genotype detection results of each sorghum variety are shown in Table 1. The results show that there are two genotypes at the SNP locus (abbreviated as SNP genotypes), namely CC or GG. Genotype CC is the homozygous type with SNP being C, and genotype GG is the homozygous type with SNP being G.

[0053] The genotype related to the gene SbSOS1 obtained above is selected for identifying or assisting in identifying the dry weight of the above-ground part of different sorghum lines; the sorghum with genotype CC is used as a molecular marker for identifying or assisting in identifying the dry weight of the above-ground part of different sorghum lines, and the dry weight of the above-ground part of the sorghum line containing sorghum with genotype CC may be higher than 0.12 kg.

[0054] III. Design of specific primers for the SNP molecular marker related to the gene SbSOS1 and establishment of its method

[0055] 1. Design of genomic specific primers for the SNP locus related to the gene SbSOS1

[0056] Specific primer sequences for the SNP (SEQ ID No.2, SEQ ID No.3, and SEQ ID No.4 in the sequence listing) were designed and all were synthesized by Zhongyu Jinmarker (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0057] The primer set F1 for identifying the polymorphism of the SNP locus is as follows:

[0058] Specific primer F1-A (SEQ ID No.2):

[0059] 5’-GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCTGTTGCAGGGCCCTGGAAGAC-3’

[0060] Specific primer F1-B (SEQ ID No.3):

[0061] 5’- GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATT GTTGCAGGGCCCTGGAAGAG-3’

[0062] Universal primer F1-C (SEQ ID No.4): 5’-CAACCTAGGCCTAGCAGCTGAGAT-3’

[0063] The primer set F1 for identifying the polymorphism of SNP sites above was designed according to the sense strand of sequence SEQ ID No.1.

[0064] The underlined sequence in the above primer F1-A is the FAM sequence; the underlined sequence in F1-B is the HEX sequence.

[0065] For the fragment of the single-stranded DNA molecule amplification sequence table SEQ ID No.1 with SNP site C shown by the above sequences SEQ ID No.2 and SEQ ID No.4, the fluorescence signal of the fluorophore combined with the FAM sequence in the template can be read by a microplate reader or a real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument; for the fragment of the single-stranded DNA molecule amplification sequence table SEQ ID No.1 with SNP site G shown by the above sequences SEQ ID No.3 and SEQ ID No.4, the fluorescence signal of the fluorophore combined with the HEX sequence in the template can be read by a microplate reader or a real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.

[0066] 2. Establishment of detection method

[0067] 2.1 DNA extraction

[0068] Extract the genomic DNA of the leaves of the tested sorghum variety, dissolve it with ddH2O and use it as a template for PCR amplification.

[0069] 2.2 PCR amplification and fluorescence signal detection

[0070] Use the SNP primer set F1 in step 1 to perform PCR amplification on the template obtained in 2.1 respectively, and detect the polymorphism (nucleotide type) and genotype of the SNP site; use the Douglas-Araya high-throughput pipeline fluorescence signal scanner to read the fluorescence data of the PCR products of the F1 primer set, and use the Douglas dedicated software - Kraken to process the fluorescence signals.

[0071] Prepare a primer mixture: First, dilute the three primers, primer F1-A, primer F1-B, and primer F1-C, with ddH2O to 100 mmol·L -1 , and obtain primer F1-A solution, primer F1-B solution, and primer F1-C solution respectively. Take 60 μL of primer F1-A solution, 60 μL of primer F1-B solution, and 150 μL of primer F1-C solution, and add 230 μL of 10 mM Tris-HCL to obtain primer mixture F1.

[0072] The reaction system detected by a 2 μL PCR fluorescence quantitative analyzer includes: 50 ng of genomic DNA, 0.02 μL of primer mixture, 0.6 μL of 1×KASP Mix (Low Rox) from LGC Company, and the rest is ddH2O. According to the operation manuals of the Douglas-Nexar and Soellex water bath systems, edit the program and run it, and save the data.

[0073] If the PCR product of the F1 primer set shows only the fluorescence signal of the fluorophore bound to the FAM sequence, then the genotype of the SNP locus of the sorghum to be tested is CC (i.e., the homozygous type with SNP locus C in the sorghum genome); if it shows only the fluorescence signal of the fluorophore bound to the HEX sequence, then the genotype of the SNP locus of the sorghum to be tested is GG (i.e., the homozygous type with SNP locus G in the sorghum genome); if it shows both the fluorescence signal of the fluorophore bound to the FAM sequence and the fluorescence signal of the fluorophore bound to the HEX sequence, then the genotype of the SNP locus of the sorghum to be tested is CG (i.e., the heterozygous type with SNP locus C and G in the sorghum genome).

[0074] Determine the genotype related to the gene SbSOS1 to identify or assist in identifying the above-ground dry weight of the tested sorghum varieties: The above-ground dry weight of sorghum with the genotype CC of the SNP of the sorghum to be tested (such as sorghum inbred lines) is higher than or potentially higher than that of sorghum with the SNP genotype GG (such as sorghum inbred lines).

[0075] Example 2. Application of SNP molecular markers of the SbSOS1 gene significantly associated with the above-ground dry weight of sorghum

[0076] Sorghum to be tested: 246 sorghum inbred line association populations

[0077] I. Determination of the above-ground dry weight of sorghum

[0078] The method is the same as that in Example 1. The results show that when 246 sorghum inbred lines are planted in the farmland soil of the mild saline-alkali land in the Agricultural High-tech Zone of Dongying City, Shandong Province, China, there are significant differences in the above-ground dry weights of different sorghum varieties. The range of the above-ground dry weight of sorghum is 0.045 - 0.3 kg, and among them, the above-ground dry weights of 150 sorghum inbred lines exceed or are equal to 0.12 kg, accounting for about 60.98% of this association population.

[0079] II. Molecular identification or assisted identification of the above-ground dry weight of sorghum inbred lines

[0080] Extract the genomic DNA of the sorghum to be tested, dissolve it with ddH2O as a template. Use the genomic specific primer SNP primer set F1 of the SNP locus in Example 1 for PCR amplification to obtain the polymorphism information of the SNP locus of the SbSOS1 gene, thereby determining the genotype related to the gene SbSOS1 of the sorghum to be tested, and thus identifying or assisting in identifying the above-ground dry weight of the sorghum varieties to be tested: The above-ground dry weight of sorghum (such as sorghum inbred lines) with the CC genotype of the SNP to be tested is higher than or candidate higher than that of sorghum (such as sorghum inbred lines) with the GG genotype of the SNP.

[0081] The genotypes of the SNP locus and the above-ground dry weight phenotypes of sorghum in 246 sorghums to be tested are shown in Table 1. The SNP locus of the sorghum to be tested contains two genotypes, CC and GG (shown in the SNP genotype column).

[0082] The test results show that among 246 sorghum varieties, among 169 sorghum varieties with the CC genotype, 115 sorghum varieties with the CC genotype have an above-ground dry weight greater than or equal to 0.12 kg, that is, 68.05% of the sorghum varieties with the CC genotype have an above-ground dry weight greater than or equal to 0.12 kg; among 77 sorghum varieties with the GG genotype, 42 sorghum varieties have an above-ground dry weight less than 0.12 kg, that is, 54.55% of the sorghum varieties with the GG genotype have an above-ground dry weight less than 0.12 kg. This indicates that SNP molecular markers can be used to breed sorghum varieties with high above-ground dry weight of the CC genotype and eliminate sorghum varieties with low above-ground dry weight of the GG genotype. The SNP molecular markers in the present invention are practical and effective for the assisted selection of the above-ground dry weight of sorghum.

[0099] The significant difference analysis was carried out on the two genotypes and the above-ground dry weight. The results showed that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the above-ground dry weight between the homozygous genotype (CC) sorghum of SNP and the homozygous genotype (GG) sorghum. The above-ground dry weight of the sorghum corresponding to the genotype SNP-CC was higher than or potentially higher than that of the sorghum corresponding to SNP-GG.
