Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to a molecular marker of a sorghum height-related gene SbPH11 and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sorghum bicolor, also known as sorghum, is an annual herbaceous plant of the Poaceae family. Sorghum is one of the world's five major crops, and belongs to C4 crops, with high photosynthetic efficiency and high biological yield. Sorghum has a wide range of uses, such as food, feed, brewing, bioenergy, and chemical materials. Sorghum is the world's most important food and feed crop due to its characteristics of drought and flood tolerance, salt and alkali tolerance, and easy cultivation.

[0003] Soil salinization is an important problem affecting agricultural production and ecological environment. About 20% of the available arable land has been or is being salinized to varying degrees, and the loss of land available for crop cultivation has become a serious problem for agricultural sustainability. Planting salt-tolerant crops is one of the most effective and economical methods for utilizing and improving saline-alkali soils. Therefore, studying the salt-tolerance of sorghum and breeding new sweet sorghum varieties with high yield and salt-tolerance has broad prospects for utilizing and improving soil resources in saline-alkali areas.

[0004] For a long time, the breeding of new sorghum varieties in China has mainly focused on high-stalk and large-eared types, with most varieties having a plant height of 2.5-3 m. Plant height is a basic index for morphological investigation of crops and an important factor affecting the biological yield of sorghum. Generally, the higher the plant height of sorghum, the higher its biological yield. The yield of most high-stalk varieties is higher than that of short-stalk varieties. Therefore, breeding sorghum parent lines and hybrids containing high-stalk haplotypes is crucial for promoting the development of the sorghum industry.

[0005] Molecular marker-assisted selection breeding can select target traits at the DNA level, resulting in stable results and allowing selection at the seedling stage to reduce the cost of phenotypic evaluation and improve the efficiency of sorghum breeding. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have characteristics such as genetic stability, large number, wide distribution, and ease of detection, making them suitable for large-scale detection and analysis. After finding key marker sites through genetic analysis, it is necessary to convert them into easy-to-use molecular markers. KASP (Kompetitive allele-specific PCR), a competitive allele-specific PCR technology, has been widely used in high-throughput SNP genotyping due to its high stability, accuracy, and low cost.

[0006] Therefore, it is of great significance to study the genes regulating plant height, obtain KASP molecular markers closely linked to plant height genes, locate and detect major gene loci of plant height in sorghum, effectively regulate the plant height type of sorghum, and breed new sorghum varieties with expected plant height type to improve the yield of sorghum. At present, there are few reports on the development of molecular markers closely linked to target QTL and the application of patent in sorghum, and there is no patent report related to plant height.

[0107] Example 1, haplotype combination and related haplotype molecular marker associated with sorghum plant height

[0108] I. Plant height statistics of test materials

[0109] 1. Planting of test materials

[0110] In 2021, 254 sorghum inbred line association population germplasm resources were planted in the farmland soil of light saline-alkali land in Dongying City, Shandong Province, China, using a randomized complete block design, with a test plot length of 3 m and a width of 2 m, planting 5 rows, 10 plants per row, with a plant spacing of 0.3 m and a row spacing of 0.5 m, and normal irrigation.

[0111] 2. Plant height statistics of test materials

[0112] After the 254 sorghum (as shown in Table 1) inbred line association population was fully matured, 3 plants were selected from each material, and the plant height of each main stem was counted, and the average value of three repetitions was taken as the final result of the plant height of the sample, as shown in Table 1.

[0113] II. Discovery of haplotype combination and haplotype molecular marker related to gene SbPH11

[0114] 1. Whole genome sequencing of 254 sorghum inbred line association population

[0115] The whole genome sequencing data of the 254 sorghum inbred line association population was provided by the Key Laboratory of Northern Resources and Plants, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jing Haichun Laboratory.

[0116] 2. A haplotype combination associated with the gene SbPH11 and the discovery of a haplotype molecular marker associated therewith

[0117] According to the plant height of the sorghum inbred lines and the sequencing results of the genomes thereof, a haplotype combination associated with the gene SbPH11 and the plant height of the sorghum is screened. The haplotype combination comprises two SNP sites, namely SNP1 and SNP2. The SNP1 corresponds to the 53908336th position on the 4th chromosome of the sorghum inbred line BTx623 (BTx623(v3.1) sorghum genome sequence information), the nucleotide of which is A or C (A / C binary polymorphism), which corresponds to the 425th position of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing, and the 21st amino acid thereof is tyrosine or aspartic acid (i.e., the SAP1 site, tyrosine / aspartic acid binary polymorphism, which corresponds to the 425th nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1 being A or C); and the SNP2 corresponds to the 53908312th position on the 4th chromosome of the sorghum inbred line BTx623, the nucleotide of which is C or T, which corresponds to the 401st position of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing, and the 29th amino acid thereof is glutamic acid mutation or lysine (i.e., the SAP2 site, glutamic acid mutation / lysine binary polymorphism, which corresponds to the 401st nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1 being C or T). In the sequence listing, m of SEQ ID No. 1 represents a or c, and y represents t or c.

[0118] The genotype detection results of each sorghum variety are shown in Table 1. The results show that the SNP1 site has two genotypes (referred to as SNP1 genotype) AA or CC, the genotype AA is the homozygous type of SNP1 being A, and the genotype CC is the homozygous type of SNP1 being C; the SNP2 site has two genotypes (referred to as SNP2 genotype) CC or TT, the genotype CC is the homozygous type of SNP2 being C, and the genotype TT is the homozygous type of SNP2 being T. In the test population, the two SNP combinations, i.e., the haplotype combination, exist in three haplotypes: haplotype SbPH11-Hap1(CT) (referred to as SbPH11-Hap1), haplotype SbPH11-Hap2(CC) (referred to as SbPH11-Hap2), and haplotype SbPH11-Hap3(AC) (referred to as SbPH11-Hap3). The haplotype SbPH11-Hap1(CT) is the combination of SNP1 being C and SNP2 being T, the haplotype SbPH11-Hap2(CC) is the combination of SNP1 being C and SNP2 being C, and the haplotype SbPH11-Hap3(AC) is the combination of SNP1 being A and SNP2 being C.

[0119] The plant height of sorghum with the homozygous genotype SbPH11-Hap2(CC) was significantly higher than that of sorghum with the homozygous genotype SbPH11-Hap1(CT) or SbPH11-Hap3(AC). The plant height of sorghum with the homozygous genotype SbPH11-Hap1(CT) was significantly higher than that of sorghum with the homozygous genotype SbPH11-Hap3(AC). The genotype of sorghum corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap2(CC) is CCCC, which is a combination of two SNPs: SNP1 genotype CC and SNP2 genotype CC. The genotype of sorghum corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap1(CT) is CCTT, which is a combination of two SNPs: SNP1 genotype CC and SNP2 genotype TT. The genotype of sorghum corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap3(AC) is AACC, which is a combination of two SNPs: SNP1 genotype AA and SNP2 genotype CC.

[0120] Therefore, the haplotype combination related to the SbPH11 gene obtained above was selected for identification or auxiliary identification of the plant height of different sorghum varieties; the SbPH11-Hap2(CC) haplotype in the haplotype combination was used as a molecular marker for identification or auxiliary identification of the plant height of different sorghum varieties, and the plant height of sorghum varieties containing the SbPH11-Hap2(CC) haplotype molecular marker may be higher than 250 cm.

[0121] III. Design and establishment of specific primers for SbPH11-related haplotype combinations and SbPH11-Hap2(CC) haplotype molecular markers.

[0122] 1. Design of genome-specific primers for haplotype combination-related SNP sites

[0123] The specific primer sequences for SNP1 (SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ID No. 3, and SEQ ID No. 4 in the sequence listing) and the specific primer sequences for SNP2 (SEQ ID No. 5, SEQ ID No. 6, and SEQ ID No. 7 in the sequence listing) were designed and synthesized by Zhongyu Gold Label (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0124] The primer set F1 for identifying SNP1 site polymorphism is as follows:

[0126] 5'- GAGGTGCACCAAGAACCATGCTTTGTTCTCTTTCTGACACACATC-3'

[0127] Specific primer F1-B (SEQ ID No. 3):

[0128] 5'-TGCCTACCTCGCTACCCTT-3' GAGGTGCACCAAGAACCATGCT CTTTGTTCTCTTTCTGACACACATC-3'

[0129] Universal primer F1-C (SEQ ID No. 4):

[0130] 5'-GAACGCTAGGGAGAGTAGAGTAGTA-3'

[0131] The primer set F2 for identifying polymorphism of SNP2 site is as follows:

[0132] Specific primer F2-A (SEQ ID No. 5):

[0133] 5'-TGCCTACCTCGCTACCCTT-3' GAGGTGCACCAAGAACCATGCT TGCCTACCTCGCTACCCTC-3'

[0134] Specific primer F2-B (SEQ ID No. 6):

[0135] 5'-TGCCTACCTCGCTACCCTT-3' GAGGTGCACCAAGAACCATGCT GTGCCTACCTCGCTACCCTT-3'

[0136] Universal primer F2-C (SEQ ID No. 7):

[0137] 5'-GAACGCTAGGGAGAGTAGAGTAGTA-3'

[0138] The primer set F1 for identifying polymorphism of SNP1 site is designed according to the sequence SEQ ID No. 1 (sense strand), and the primer set F2 for identifying polymorphism of SNP2 site is designed according to the sequence SEQ ID No. 1 (sense strand).

[0139] The underlined sequence in the above primers F1-A and F2-A is FAM sequence; the underlined sequence in F1-B and F2-B is HEX sequence.

[0140] The fragment of SNP1 site with A in the single-stranded DNA molecule amplification sequence list SEQ ID No. 1 shown in the above sequences SEQ ID No. 2 and SEQ ID No. 4 can be read by the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with FAM sequence in the template by using an enzyme marker or a fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument;

[0141] The fragment of SNP1 site with C in the single-stranded DNA molecule amplification sequence list SEQ ID No. 1 shown by the above sequence SEQ ID No. 3 and SEQ ID No. 4 can be read to the fluorescence signal of the fluorescence group combined with the HEX sequence in the template by using the enzyme marker or the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.

[0142] The fragment of SNP2 site with C in the single-stranded DNA molecule amplification sequence list SEQ ID No. 1 shown by the above sequence SEQ ID No. 5 and SEQ ID No. 7 can be read to the fluorescence signal of the fluorescence group combined with the FAM sequence in the template by using the enzyme marker or the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.

[0143] The fragment of SNP2 site with T in the single-stranded DNA molecule amplification sequence list SEQ ID No. 1 shown by the above sequence SEQ ID No. 6 and SEQ ID No. 7 can be read to the fluorescence signal of the fluorescence group combined with the HEX sequence in the template by using the enzyme marker or the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.

[0144] 2. Establishment of detection method

[0145] 2.1 DNA extraction

[0146] The test sample variety (shown in Table 1) sorghum leaf genomic DNA was extracted, dissolved with ddH2O as a template for PCR amplification.

[0147] 2.2 PCR amplification and fluorescence signal detection

[0148] The template obtained in 2.1 was subjected to PCR amplification using primer set F1 and primer set F2 in step 1 respectively, and the polymorphism (nucleotide type) and genotype of the SNP site were detected; the PCR products of primer set F1 and primer set F2 were subjected to fluorescence data reading by using Douglas-Araya high-throughput flow line type fluorescence signal scanner, and the fluorescence signal was processed by using Douglas special software-Kraken.

[0149] Preparation of primer mixture: first dilute the three primers primer F1-A, primer F1-B and primer F1-C into 100 mmol·L-1 with ddH2O respectively, then mix them to prepare the primer mixture. -1, respectively, to obtain primer F1-A solution, primer F1-B solution, and primer F1-C solution. 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. Use the above method to obtain primer F2-A solution, primer F2-B solution, and primer F2-C solution, take 60 μL of primer F2-A solution, 60 μL of primer F2-B solution, and 150 μL of primer F2-C solution, and add 230 μL of 10 mM Tris-HCL to obtain primer mixture F2.

[0150] 2 μL of the PCR fluorescent quantitative detection reaction system comprises: 50 ng of test sample genomic DNA, 0.02 μL of primer mixture F1 or F2, 0.6 μL of 1x KASP Mix (Low Rox) from LGC, and the rest is ddH2O. According to the operation manual of Douglas-Nexar and Soellex water bath system, edit the program and run, and save the data.

[0151] If the F1 primer group PCR product shows only the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the FAM sequence, the genotype of the SNP1 site of the to-be-tested sorghum is AA (i.e., the SNP1 site in the sorghum genome is homozygous for A); if only the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the HEX sequence is shown, the genotype of the SNP1 site of the to-be-tested sorghum is CC (i.e., the SNP1 site in the sorghum genome is homozygous for C); if both the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the FAM sequence and the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the HEX sequence are shown, the genotype of the SNP1 site of the to-be-tested sorghum is CA (i.e., the SNP1 site in the sorghum genome is heterozygous for C and A). If the F2 primer group PCR product shows only the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the FAM sequence, the genotype of the SNP2 site of the to-be-tested sorghum is CC (i.e., the SNP2 site in the sorghum genome is homozygous for C); if only the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the HEX sequence is shown, the genotype of the SNP2 site of the to-be-tested sorghum is TT (i.e., the SNP2 site in the sorghum genome is homozygous for T); if both the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the FAM sequence and the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with the HEX sequence are shown, the genotype of the SNP2 site of the to-be-tested sorghum is TC (i.e., the SNP2 site in the sorghum genome is heterozygous for T and C).

[0152] Determination of haplotype and genotype of the haplotype combination related to gene SbPH11 to identify or assist in identifying the plant height of the tested sorghum variety: the plant height of sorghum (e.g., sorghum inbred line) with genotype CCC at SNP1 and SNP2 is higher than or candidate higher than that of sorghum (e.g., sorghum inbred line) with genotype CCTT or genotype AACC at SNP1 and SNP2. The plant height of sorghum (e.g., sorghum inbred line) with homozygous genotype corresponding to haplotype SbPH11-Hap2 (CC) is higher than or candidate higher than that of sorghum (e.g., sorghum inbred line) with homozygous genotype corresponding to haplotype SbPH11-Hap1 or haplotype SbPH11-Hap3.

[0153] Example 2, Application of the significantly associated haplotype combination of sorghum plant height and the molecular marker of haplotype SbPH11-Hap2 (CC) to the tested sorghum: 254 sorghum inbred lines of the association population

[0154] I. Determination of sorghum plant height

[0155] The method is the same as that in Example 1. The results show that the plant heights of different sorghum varieties are significantly different when 254 sorghum inbred lines are planted in the farmland soil of the light saline-alkali land in Nonggao New District, Dongying City, Shandong Province, China. The plant height of sorghum ranges from 111 to 382 cm, and the plant height of 153 sorghum inbred lines exceeds 250 cm, accounting for about 60.24% of the association population.

[0156] II. Molecular identification or assisted identification of the plant height of sorghum inbred lines

[0157] The genome DNA of the to-be-tested sorghum is extracted and dissolved with ddH2O as a template. The SNP1 primer group F1 and the SNP2 primer group F2 of the haplotype combination related SNP site in Example 1 are used for PCR amplification respectively to obtain the polymorphism information of the two SNP sites in the haplotype combination related to the SbPH11 gene, so as to determine the haplotype and genotype of the haplotype combination related to the SbPH11 gene of the to-be-tested sorghum, thereby identifying or assisting in identifying the plant height of the sorghum variety under test: the plant height of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the genotype CCCC of the two SNPs of SNP1 and SNP2 is higher than or is expected to be higher than that of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the genotype CCTT of the two SNPs of SNP1 and SNP2 or the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the genotype AACC of the two SNPs of SNP1 and SNP2, and the plant height of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the genotype CCTT of the two SNPs of SNP1 and SNP2 is higher than or is expected to be higher than that of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the genotype AACC of the two SNPs of SNP1 and SNP2. The plant height of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the homozygous genotype corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap2 (CC) is higher than or is expected to be higher than that of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the homozygous genotype corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap1 (CT) or the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the homozygous genotype corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap3 (AC), and the plant height of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the homozygous genotype corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap1 (CT) is higher than or is expected to be higher than that of the sorghum (such as a sorghum inbred line) with the homozygous genotype corresponding to the haplotype SbPH11-Hap3 (AC).

[0158] The genotypes of the two SNP sites and the plant height of the sorghum in 254 to-be-tested sorghums are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The SNP1 site of the to-be-tested sorghum contains two genotypes CC and AA (shown in the SNP1 genotype column); the SNP2 site contains two genotypes TT and CC (shown in the SNP2 genotype column). The two SNP sites in the genome of the sorghum under test exist in three haplotype combinations in the order of the genome, i.e. the haplotype SbPH11-Hap1 (CT), SbPH11-Hap2 (CC) and SbPH11-Hap3 (AC). The detection results show that among the 254 sorghum varieties, the plant height of 101 sorghum varieties with the haplotype SbPH11-Hap2 (CC) among the 130 sorghum varieties with the haplotype SbPH11-Hap2 (CC) is higher than 250 cm, i.e. the plant height of 77.69% of the sorghum varieties with the haplotype SbPH11-Hap2 (CC) is higher than 250 cm.

[0159] Among the 96 sorghum varieties of haplotype SbPH11-Hap1(CT) type, the plant height of 45 sorghum varieties is higher than 250 cm, i.e. the plant height of 46.87% of the sorghum varieties of haplotype SbPH11-Hap1(CT) is higher than 250 cm.

[0160] Among the 28 sorghum varieties of haplotype SbPH11-Hap3(AC) type, the plant height of 21 sorghum varieties is lower than 250 cm, i.e. the plant height of 75% of the sorghum varieties of haplotype SbPH11-Hap3(AC) is lower than 250 cm.

[0161] This indicates that the low plant height sorghum varieties can be eliminated by using haplotype SbPH11-Hap2(CC), the high plant height sorghum varieties of haplotype SbPH11-Hap2(CC) can be selected, and the haplotype molecular marker can be used for the assisted selection of sorghum plant height.
