Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular marker technology, and in particular to a molecular marker, primer, and their application for identifying the Xinyang No. 10 tea variety. Background Technology

[0002] Tea plant phenotypic and physicochemical traits are mostly quantitative traits, easily influenced by the environment, making it difficult to identify tea plant germplasm based solely on phenotypic and physicochemical traits. DNA molecular markers, based on DNA sequence variations, offer advantages such as a large number of markers, independence from developmental influences, and simple and rapid detection methods. They overcome the disadvantages of identification based on phenotypic and physicochemical components, including large errors, small differences in tea plant phenotypic traits, and long identification cycles. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular marker technology has been widely applied in tea germplasm resource identification, genetic diversity analysis, genetic map construction, quantitative trait locus (QTL) localization, and DNA fingerprinting.

[0003] Xinyang No. 10 (XY10) is a superior tea variety bred in 1976 by the Xinyang Tea Experiment Station from the Xinyang tea population through a single-plant selection system. This variety is a shrub type, medium-leaf, mid-growing species with a semi-spreading growth habit. It boasts high quality, high yield, and strong resistance, making it suitable for cultivation in Henan Province. It is a core germplasm resource for tea production and tea germplasm genetic improvement in Henan. Effective identification of the XY10 superior variety is crucial for tea germplasm innovation and the effective protection of the "XY10" superior variety. Therefore, a method for accurately identifying the Xinyang No. 10 tea variety is urgently needed in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0048] 2) Experimental methods

[0049] 1. Development of SSR molecular markers and screening of SSR primers

[0050] Using the *Shuchazao* (SCZ) genome as a reference genome (https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.molp.2020.04.010), SSRs in the SCZ genome were detected using MISA software (https: / / webblast.ipk-gatersleben.de / misa / ), and primers were designed using Primer3 software. A total of 1,604,517 SSRs were detected in the SCZ genome using MISA software, and 1,264,509 pairs of SSR marker primers were designed. Chromosome chr3 was randomly selected from the SCZ genome, and 672 pairs of SSR marker primers were randomly selected based on chromosome chr3. Primers were synthesized at General Biosystems (Anhui) Co., Ltd. ePCR amplification was performed on the SZC genome using 672 pairs of SSR primers. After removing SSR marker primers with many annealing sites and difficult genotyping, ePCR amplification was performed on the SCZ, Longjing 43 and DASZ genomes using the selected SSR primers. A total of 76 pairs of polymorphic SSR marker primers were screened in the three genomes.

[0051] Genotyping was performed on eight randomly selected tea germplasms [Anhui No. 1 (AH1), Baihaozao (BHZ), Fu'an Dabaicha (FADBC), Longjing Changye (LJCY), Nanjiang No. 1 (NJ1), Shangmeizhou (SMZ), Mingshan Baihao 131 (MSBH131), and Zaobaijian (ZBJ)] using 76 primer pairs selected from the screening. One pair of SSR primers with polymorphism and clear amplification bands was selected and named primer SCZSSR03.

[0052] The gene sequence at position Chr3: 10960193-10960530 in the SCZ genome is as SEQ ID Shown in NO.1 (GGACCTGAGCATTGACAAATCTGAAACCATGAAGGCTCTTGATGATGTTGGTGAGTTCTTGATGATCAATTCCACGTTCGGAAGCAAACTCACCTGAGTCTGAGATCTCATCATTCTTCTCGAGGAAGCCCAGTACAACTTCCTCCGCCATCTCTCTCTCTCTCTC TCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCCAAACCCTCTTATCCCCTTTCCACTAGGGTTTTGTAGTCTTAGATCAAAGCCCAAACACGTCGTTGATGATTTGGGTCGAAACCTGTAAACAGGGTTTGATGAGAACACTAAAACCGTAAGAATCAATACATTTGCCCCGTTTGGTAGAG). The molecular marker corresponding to the SCZSSR03 primer is located in Chr3:10960343-10960380 in the SCZ genome. The SSR repeat unit type is TC, repeated 19 times, and the SSR molecular marker size is 38 bp. The gene sequence of the SSR molecular marker is shown in SEQ ID NO.2 (TCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTC). The forward primer sequence of the SCZSSR03 primer is shown in SEQ ID NO.3 (5'→3'ATCAATTCCACGTTCGGAAG), and the reverse primer sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.4 (5'→3'CGGGGCAAATGTATTGATTC).

[0053] DNA was extracted from 189 tea germplasms in Table 1 and used as templates; the template DNA was amplified by PCR using SCZSSR03 primers to obtain amplification products; the amplification products were detected by polyacrylamide (12%) electrophoresis to obtain electrophoretic bands. The PCR amplification system consisted of: 4.90 μL ddH2O, 1.00 μL 10×Buffer, 0.2 μL 10 mM dNTP, 0.4 μL 10 μM forward primer, 0.4 μL 10 μM reverse primer, 3.00 μL 30 ng / μL template, and 0.10 μL 5 U / μL Taq enzyme, for a total reaction volume of 10 μL. The PCR amplification program was as follows: pre-denaturation at 94℃ for 5 min; followed by cycling, with each cycle consisting of denaturation at 94℃ for 30 s, annealing at 60℃ for 45 s, and extension at 72℃ for 1 min, for a total of 29 cycles, and a final extension at 72℃ for 5 min. Electrophoresis was performed at 160 V for 3 h.

[0054] Electrophoresis results as follows Figure 1-4 As shown. From Figure 1-4 It can be seen that the DNA banding pattern of Xinyang No. 10 is significantly different from that of the other 188 tea germplasms; except for 11 tea germplasms including SCZ(XY), XY10, ZBJ, XBL2, SBZ, TLC, JGQC, GKQC, CYSH, DPH, and XX21-3, which all have DNA band 1, the DNA banding patterns of the other 178 tea germplasms do not have DNA band 1. Except for BH, NZ2, GLC, and XPTC, the other 174 tea germplasms did not have DNA band 5. Among the 11 tea germplasms with DNA band 1, 6 germplasms (ZBJ, TLC, GKQC, GYSH, DPH, and XX21-3) did not have DNA band 4; 4 germplasms (SCZ(XY), XBL2, SBZ, and JGQT) did not have the DNA band pattern consisting of DNA bands 2 and 3. Therefore, the DNA of the tea germplasms was amplified using primers SCZSSR03, and based on... Figure 1 The five DNA bands marked with red arrows (1-5) can be used to identify and distinguish the Xinyang No. 10 tea variety from tea germplasm.

[0055] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a molecular marker, primer and its application for identifying the superior variety of tea tree Xinyang No. 10. It is convenient, fast and efficient to use a single molecular marker and primer to detect the DNA sample of tea germplasm.

[0056] 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.
