[0036] The biological materials involved in the examples are as follows:

[0037] The disease-resistant parent Nankang No. 1 and the disease-susceptible parent Shannong No. 102 can be obtained from Shandong Agricultural University, and the F4 population material constructed by hybridization of Nankang No. 1 and Shannong No. 102 has 426 strains.

[0038] The Fusarium graminearum can be purchased through ordinary commercial channels.

[0039] Example 1: Sample screening

[0040] The F4 population material constructed by hybridization of Nankang No. 1 and Shannong No. 102 was used as samples and planted in a greenhouse from September 2020 to January 2021 and from March to June 2021. The wheat grains were placed in a seedling tray filled with mixed substrate soil (nutrient soil: vermiculite: ordinary soil = 1:1:1, mass ratio), and after germination at room temperature for 2 days, they were placed in a 4℃ light incubator for about 35 days. During the vernalization period, the light incubator was set as shown in Table 1. After vernalization, the plants were transplanted into flowerpots in the greenhouse of Shandong Agricultural University and managed routinely until maturity.

[0042]

[0043] The F5:6 population material of Nankang No. 1 and Shannong No. 102 planted in flowerpots in the greenhouse in March 2021 was taken, and normal plants at the initial flowering stage of wheat were selected. Five wheat spikes of the same strain were randomly selected, and 2 florets in the middle of each spike were inoculated. 20μL of Fusarium graminearum spore suspension (1μL containing 50 spores) was injected using a micro-syringe, water was sprayed, and the bag was sealed for 3 days. The self-sealing bag was removed after 3 days.

[0044] The incidence of disease was investigated 7d, 14d, and 21d after inoculation, and the number of diseased spikes was recorded.

[0045] Diseased spikelet rate (DSR) = (number of diseased spikes / total number of spikes) × 100%

[0046] Diseased spike rachis length (DRL) was measured 21d after inoculation.

[0047] Resistance gene effect = (average diseased spikelet rate of material carrying resistance gene - average diseased spikelet rate of material not carrying resistance gene) / average diseased spikelet rate of material not carrying resistance gene

[0048] The disease severity of the inoculated wheat materials was investigated, and the grade division was referred to the People's Republic of China Agricultural Industry Standard (Technical Specification for Evaluation of Wheat Disease Resistance NY / T 1443.4-2007): Wheat Scab Severity Grading and Resistance Evaluation Standard, as shown in Tables 2 and 3.

[0101] (10) Library quality control

[0102] The DNA 1000 assay Kit (Agilent Technologies, 5067-1504) was selected for the kit. The DNA 1000 assay kit can detect sample fragment sizes ranging from 25-1000 bp, and concentrations ranging from 0.1-50 ng / µL;

[0103] The sequencing library was detected using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA), and library quantification was performed using real-time PCR.

[0104] 3. Illumina sequencing

[0105] Sequencing was performed on a Novaseq 6000 sequencer using a PE150 sequencing strategy.

[0106] 4. Data quality control

[0107] In order to ensure data quality and reduce the analysis interference of invalid data, data filtering was performed on the raw data. The raw sequence (raw reads) was subjected to quality control by FASTP (version 0.18.0) (Chen et al. , 2018), and low-quality data was filtered to obtain high-quality sequences (clean reads).

[0108] The conditions for filtering reads are as follows:

[0109] (1) Reads containing adapters;

[0110] (2) Reads containing unknown nucleotides (N) ≥ 10%;

[0111] (3) Reads containing all A bases;

[0112] (4) Low-quality reads (the number of bases with quality value Q ≤ 20 accounts for more than 50% of the entire read).

[0113] After filtering the data, the composition and quality distribution of the bases were analyzed to intuitively show the data quality.

[0114] The results showed that the anti-parent, sensitive parent and anti-sensate pools produced 76,162,892, 62,759,864 and 74,168,292, 63,300,060 raw sequences, respectively. After filtering the raw sequences, 75,748,704, 62,419,952 and 73,748,806, 62,946,928 high-quality sequences were obtained, accounting for 99.43-99.46% of the high-quality sequences, and the other invalid sequences accounted for a small percentage (Table 10).

[0115] Table 10 Data filtering statistics table

[0116]

[0117] Note: Each percentage is based on the percentage of raw sequences.

[0118] The anti-parent, sensitive parent and anti-sensate pools produced 11,424,433,800, 9,413,979,600 and 11,125,243,800, 9,495,009,000 bp raw bases, respectively. After filtering, 11,322,396,712, 9,331,792,559 and 11,025,171,867, 9,414,154,647 bp high-quality bases were obtained. After filtering, the GC content was 51.56-52.02%, the sequencing quality ≥ Q20 was 97.85-98.02%, and the sequencing quality ≥ Q30 was 94.09-94.55%, indicating that the sequencing quality was good and met the subsequent analysis (Table 11).

[0119] Table 11 Base information statistics table

[0120]

[0121] 5. Sequence alignment analysis

[0122] To exclude the influence of partial rRNA residues, the high-quality sequences (clean reads) were aligned to the ribosome database of wheat using the short-read alignment tool bowtie2 (Langmead et al., 2012), and the reads aligned to the ribosome were removed without allowing mismatches, and the remaining unmapped reads were referred to as valid sequences. The valid sequences were aligned to the Chinese Spring reference genome (IWGSC_RefSeq_v2.1) using the alignment software HISAT2 (Daehwan et al. , 2015), the alignment rate and the chromosomal distribution of the sequences were counted, and the uniquely aligned sequences were analyzed.

[0123] The comparative analysis results showed that the anti-parent, the susceptible parent and the anti-susceptible pool produced 62,840,849, 51,567,191 and 63,774,745, 52,458,768 sequences, respectively, which were uniquely aligned to the reference genome, and the proportion of the four samples was between 82.83-86.71% (Table 12).

[0124] Table 12 Alignment reference statistics

[0125]

[0126] Note: The number of reads after filtering ribosomes is referred to as valid sequences.

[0127] 6. Genome variation detection

[0128] For the sequences uniquely aligned to the reference genome (Unique mapped reads), the alignment results were sorted by chromosomes, and the repeated sequences were removed, the SNP detection was performed using the variation detection software GATK (version 3.4-46) (DePristo et al , 2011), and the ANNOVAR (version 2) (Wang et al. , 2010) was used to functionally annotate the detected variants.

[0129] In order to control the background noise as much as possible, the SNP / Indel sites were filtered according to the following standards, and the sites meeting the following conditions were used for subsequent BSA analysis:

[0130] (1) When both parents exist, there is a difference between the parents and the segregation form meets the population type (the segregation form of the markers retained in the F1 population is nn x np, lm x ll, hk x hk, and the segregation form of the markers retained in other populations is aa x bb);

[0131] (2) When parents exist, the sequencing depth of the (two) parents is greater than or equal to a given threshold, and the threshold used in this analysis is 5x;

[0132] (3) Neither of the two offspring pools is missing;

[0133] (4) The sequencing depth of each offspring pool is greater than 10x and less than 500x;

[0134] (5) The SNP-index of at least one offspring pool is greater than 0.3;

[0135] (6) The SNP-index of at least one offspring pool is less than 0.7.

[0136] SNP and Indel variation detection was performed using software GATK4, and finally data statistics, a total of 725,683 sites, including 692,717 SNP sites and 32,966 Indel sites (Table 13). In order to control the background noise as much as possible, according to the standard, the SNP / Indel site filtering was performed, and after filtering, 30,289 SNP / Indel sites were obtained, of which 30,109 were located on 21 chromosomes, accounting for 99.40% (Table 14, Figure 1 ). The number of SNP sites detected by the D genome is less than that of the A and B genomes, and the number of SNP sites of the B genome is the most, 15,172, the most in 5B and 1B, 3,256 and 3,214, respectively, the least in 3D and 4D, 188 and 131.

[0141] 7. SNP-index-based BSA analysis method

[0142] The SNP separated from the parents in the population is screened as a molecular marker for subsequent BSA QTL mapping (QTL-seq). The frequency distribution of SNPs in the offspring sample is calculated using sliding window analysis, i.e. the offspring SNP-index. In the sliding window analysis, to reduce the interference of windows with less than 10 SNPs on the analysis, first count the number of SNPs in each window in the whole genome, calculate the proportion of the number of windows with SNPs ≥ 10 to the total number of windows, and select the window size of 400 kb with a proportion > 95% as the analysis parameter. According to the distribution of SNP density, the frequency distribution of SNPs in the pool sample is calculated with a window size of 400 kb and a sliding step of 20 kb, i.e. the offspring SNP-index. To intuitively reflect the distribution of pool SNP-index on the chromosome, Manhattan plot is used for mapping. The mean value of SNP index of each window SNP marker site is calculated, and the fitting curve is drawn. The difference between the two pool SNP-index is calculated, and the Δ (SNP-index) is calculated. The calculation process is subjected to 1000 times of permutation test, and the 95% confidence interval and the 99% confidence interval of Δ (SNP index) of each site and window are obtained. In the whole genome, the peak region greater than the threshold value is selected as the candidate region according to the 95% confidence interval, and the SNPs / InDels in the candidate region are annotated to screen potential candidate functional mutations.

[0143] The calculation method of SNP-index is as follows:

[0144] SNP-index of a specific site = ρ (recessive) / (ρ (dominant) + ρ (recessive))

[0145] ρ is the depth of the site in the pool. When the dominance and recessiveness can be clearly determined, Δ (SNP-index) has obvious directionality, i.e. a positive value indicates that the proportion of recessive alleles (or mutant alleles) in the recessive pool is higher than that in the dominant pool, which is usually the direction we concern; a negative value indicates that the proportion of recessive alleles (or mutant alleles) in the dominant pool is higher than that in the recessive pool.

[0146] 8. BSA analysis method based on ED method

[0147] Euclidean Distance (ED) algorithm is used to find significant difference markers between pools by using sequencing data. The calculation formula is as follows, and the larger the ED value, the greater the difference of the marker between the two pools.

[0148] The calculation formula of Euclidean distance method is as follows:

[0149]

[0150] wherein mut and wt represent recessive / mutant pool, dominant / wild type pool, respectively, A, C, G, T represent the coverage depth of each locus, and the ED value is the difference between the large value and the small value, so as to eliminate background noise. Usually, the original ED value is multiplied by a power to eliminate background noise. The ED value described herein refers to the result after multiplication.

[0151] BSA analysis results based on SNP-index and ED method:

[0152] In order to reduce background noise, the Δ (SNP-index) and ED method results obtained by calculation were fitted according to the sliding window method. The window size used in the sliding window was 2000 kb, and the step size used was 20 kb. When the number of SNPs in the window was greater than or equal to 10, the window was an effective window. When the number of SNPs was insufficient, the results of the window were integrated into the next window. The number of effective windows of SNP-index, ED results related indicators sliding window is shown in Table 15.

[0153] Table 15 Number of effective windows of SNP-index and ED method related indicators sliding window

[0154]

[0155] In order to intuitively reflect the distribution of Δ (SNP-index) and the square of the original ED on the chromosome, Manhattan plots were used to display them as Figure 2 and Figure 3 . Δ (SNP-index) was screened with the condition that the fitting peak value in the sliding window was greater than or equal to 0.55 or less than or equal to -0.55, and 32 effective windows were obtained. ED 2 was screened with the condition that the fitting peak value in the sliding window was greater than or equal to 0.6, and 42 effective windows were obtained. A new candidate QTL interval was determined by combining the two analysis methods, located on the 6BL chromosome, specifically 6BL (706-709 Mb) ( Figure 4~Figure 5 ), named Qfhb.sdau-6BL . There is one SNP site in the QTL interval, with a physical position of 708440306, showing a C / T base mutation, named KASP-QFhb.sdau-6B.14 . In addition, there are 395 SNP / Indel sites in the 95% confidence interval in the candidate QTL interval on the 3B chromosome. After analysis, the QTL interval has a major gene for resistance to fusarium wilt Fhb1 , which also verifies the results of molecular markers.

[0156] Example 3 KASP primer design and genotyping detection

[0157] To further verify the relationship between the sites detected by BSR-Seq and the resistance of wheat scab, SNP sites on 6BL were selected, KASP primers were designed using the sequences at both ends, and the primers were verified in the parents and the population. Through the physical position of the SNP site, 100 bp sequences before and after the SNP site were obtained from the Wheat Research Consortium Multiscale Data Website (http: / / 202.194.139.32 / #). The position of the SNP site and the sequence are shown in Table 16. When the base of the SNP site is T, the nucleotide sequence of the SNP sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4. When the base of the SNP site is C, the nucleotide sequence of the SNP sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 5.

[0158] Table 16 SNP molecular marker sequence and base variation

[0159]

[0160] KASP primers were designed for the SNP molecular marker sequence through the Polymarker website (http: / / polymarker.tgac.ac.uk / ). (Table 17). After the primer design, the two forward primer sequences were added with fluorescence detection sequences respectively:

[0161] FAM sequence: GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCT,

[0162] HEX sequence: GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATT.

[0163] The primers were sent to Qingdao Biosyntech Biotech Co., Ltd. for synthesis.

[0164] Table 17 KASP primer sequence

[0165]

[0166] The specific experimental operation of genotyping detection is as follows:

[0167] (1) Primer dissolution and mixing: dilute each primer to 100 μM with ultrapure water, and mix the primers according to the volume ratio of upstream primer 1: upstream primer 2: downstream primer: ultrapure water / buffer solution = 6:6:15:13;

[0168] (2) PCR system preparation: the total volume of the amplification system is 10.0825 μL, and the specific sample addition is shown in Table 18, and the PCR amplification program is shown in Table 19;

[0169] Table 18 PCR amplification system

[0170]

[0171] Table 19 PCR amplification procedure

[0172]

[0173] (3) Fluorescence detection: Use real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR system to detect fluorescence signal to determine the genotype of each strain, and export the genotyping results through Launch Kluster Caller software;

[0174] (4) Phenotype test: Perform correlation analysis on the genotyping data and the greenhouse phenotype identification results in the spring of 2021 by SPSS software (version 26) to determine the relevance of SNP sites and wheat scab resistance and test the reliability of the positioning interval.

[0175] The results show that the KASP molecular marker from the scab resistance QTL Qfhb.sdau-6BL in the interval has good genotyping effect (Table 20, KASP- QFhb.sdau-6B.14 According to the correlation analysis of KASP detection results and phenotypic traits, it is found that the phenotypic traits are extremely significantly different between different genotypes in the population Figure 6 (0.01). The SNP site of the KASP molecular marker P< KASP- QFhb.sdau-6B.14 The base variation of the SNP site is C / T variation, and the scab resistance of wheat materials containing TT base is better than that of wheat materials containing CC base (Table 21). The genotyping results fully demonstrate the reliability of the KASP molecular marker, which has high correlation with scab resistance, and the KASP molecular marker can be applied to molecular marker-assisted selection breeding.

[0180]

[0181] Example 4 Marker verification

[0182] Test materials: 12 wheat lines from the research group of the present application. In 2022-2023, they were planted in the agronomy test field of Shandong Agricultural University, 4 rows per line, row length 1.2 meters, row width 25 cm, 40 grains per row; 3 times of repetition. After heading, the flowering period was closely investigated; single flower dripping identification was performed on the small ears that just started to bloom. The identification method and resistance investigation and evaluation method are the same as in Example 1.​

[0183] Table 22 Disease resistance survey of wheat lines

[0184]

[0185] In combination with the scab resistance survey following single flowered infestation (Table 22), it was found that KASP-QFhb.sdau-6B.14 The molecular marker genotyping was in agreement with the scab phenotype ( Figure 7 ), and therefore, this KASP molecular marker can be used for molecular assisted selection of wheat scab resistant varieties.
