AI Technical Summary
In wheat grain weight research, due to the large and complex genome structure of wheat, there are few examples of directly isolating individual grain weight genes, and existing technologies are difficult to effectively use molecular biology methods for rapid and accurate identification of grain traits.
By mining two closely linked SNP variant sites on wheat chromosome 5A, KASP molecular markers were developed. Competitive allele-specific PCR technology was used for genotyping to rapidly identify wheat grain traits, including grain weight, grain length, grain width, and grain thickness.
It enables rapid and accurate identification of grain traits, improves the efficiency of molecular marker-assisted selection and breeding of wheat grain weight, and has significant breeding application prospects.
