Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology and plant molecular breeding, and in particular relates to a molecular marker for detecting susceptibility to barley powdery mildew and its application. Background Art

[0002] Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop, widely used in the food, feed and brewing industries. However, barley is susceptible to a variety of diseases during its growth process, among which powdery mildew is a common fungal disease caused by the fungus Erysiphegraminis f.sp.hordei. Powdery mildew not only reduces the yield and quality of barley, but may also affect food safety and human health. The importance of studying barley resistance to powdery mildew lies in reducing yield losses, ensuring food security, and reducing the use of chemical pesticides to protect the environment. At the same time, the exploration and utilization of disease-resistant gene resources can promote barley variety improvement and industrial development. At present, research on barley powdery mildew genes is mostly focused on the MLO gene, and research on other genes is not in-depth enough. It is necessary to discover new molecular markers for genes in the powdery mildew resistance segment to develop suitable for efficient screening of powdery mildew-resistant barley and shorten breeding time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a molecular marker for detecting susceptibility to powdery mildew in barley and its application, which can efficiently screen powdery mildew-resistant barley and shorten breeding time.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] The present invention provides a molecular marker for identifying barley powdery mildew susceptibility, wherein the molecular marker detects barley powdery mildew susceptibility by detecting SNP markers;

[0006] The SNP marker is located at position 1688 of the BPM1 gene on barley chromosome 4, where the base is C or T. If the base is C, it is a powdery mildew resistance allele, and if the base is T, it is a powdery mildew susceptible allele.

[0007] The molecular markers include primers for detecting SNP markers: HvBg01-F and HvBg01-R, and the nucleotide sequences thereof are shown in SEQ ID No: 3 and SEQ ID No: 4, respectively.

[0008] The present invention provides a method for identifying barley powdery mildew susceptibility genotypes, comprising the following steps:

[0009] 1) Extracting genomic DNA from the barley to be tested, using it as a template, and performing PCR amplification using primers HvBg01-F and HvBg01-R to obtain an amplified product;

[0010] 2) Analyze barley genotype based on the melting curve of the amplified product;

[0011] When the melting curve of the amplified product is a single peak and the melting temperature is 87.2-87.6°C, the genotype of the barley BPM1 gene at position 1688 is determined to be CC, which is a homozygous genotype for powdery mildew resistance.

[0012] When the melting curve of the amplified product showed a single peak and the melting temperature was 86.6-86.9°C, the genotype of the barley BPM1 gene at position 1688 was determined to be TT, which was confirmed to be a homozygous genotype susceptible to powdery mildew.

[0013] When the melting curve of the amplified product is a double peak and the melting temperature of the main peak is between the two peaks, the genotype of the barley BPM1 gene at position 1688 is determined to be CT, which is determined to be a powdery mildew resistance heterozygous genotype.

[0015] The present invention provides application of the molecular marker in identifying susceptibility to barley powdery mildew.

[0016] The present invention provides application of the molecular marker in identifying and screening powdery mildew-resistant barley germplasm resources.

[0017] The present invention provides application of the molecular marker in molecular marker-assisted breeding of barley varieties resistant to powdery mildew.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The present invention provides a molecular marker method, distinct from the MLO gene, for identifying barley powdery mildew resistance. By identifying a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker in the BPM1 gene, specific amplification primers are designed for the SNP marker, and genotype identification is performed through PCR amplification and high-resolution melting curve (HRM) analysis. The amplification products of the molecular markers provided by the present invention have significantly different annealing temperatures, and the haplotype of the barley material to be tested can be determined through HRM analysis. This method is low-cost, requires no enzyme digestion, and does not require gel electrophoresis. The detection procedure is convenient and fast, and can shorten the breeding cycle of powdery mildew-resistant barley and reduce breeding costs. The method has the advantages of simple operation, high identification accuracy, and cost savings. It can significantly shorten the breeding cycle of powdery mildew-resistant barley and save manpower and material resources for breeding. When the molecular markers provided by the present invention are used for assisted breeding, accurate, simple, and efficient detection of the BPM1 genotype of progeny can be achieved, while also enabling non-destructive detection in the early stages of barley growth. This method is suitable for large-scale screening of BPM1 genotypes in commercial large-scale breeding and identification of BPM1 alleles in barley germplasm resources.

[0051] The technical solutions provided by the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] Example 1 Development of SNP Molecular Markers in the Barley Powdery Mildew Resistance Region

[0053] By performing BSA analysis on the F2 hybrid population of the powdery mildew-resistant parent Feng7 and the powdery mildew-susceptible parent Vlamingh, data quality control, variant detection, and association analysis were performed, and the powdery mildew resistance interval was located in the 623165594-623744888 segment of chromosome 4. Local and online sequence alignment analysis was performed using software such as DNAMAN and sequence analysis tools such as the NCBI database, and several SNP sites were obtained. PCR amplification primers were designed for these sites, and their reliability was confirmed by gel electrophoresis and HRM experiments. The available primers were combined with the phenotype of the F2 segregating population to determine the linkage relationship, and sites that can reflect powdery mildew resistance were screened. Among them, a SNP site was obtained in the BPM1 gene, where the powdery mildew resistance allele is C or heterozygous, and the powdery mildew sensitivity allele is T (such as Figure 1 ). Molecular markers developed for this specific nucleic acid sequence can be used to identify the haplotype of this segment.

[0054] Example 2 Design of Detection Primers (PCR-HRM Analysis Primers) for SNP Molecular Markers in the Barley Powdery Mildew Resistance Region

[0055] PCR-HRM analysis primers were designed based on the molecular markers developed in Example 1. The primer design principles are as follows:

[0056] Primers are designed on both sides of the SNP so that the length of the amplified product is between 100-200bp, and the only difference in the target SNP site exists in this sequence of the susceptible parent. A fluorescent nucleic acid dye is added to the PCR amplification system. The dye will emit fluorescence when the DNA is double-stranded and lose fluorescence when the DNA is single-stranded. After PCR amplification, the dye is distributed in the double-stranded DNA of the amplified product. When performing HRM analysis, the PCR product is slowly heated and the fluorescence value is recorded to obtain a curve with a fluorescence value ranging from high to low. The derivative of this curve is the melting curve. The melting curve of the homozygous type presents a single peak, and the horizontal coordinate of the highest point of the curve is the melting temperature (T mSince there is only one SNP difference in the amplified product, when the SNP is C, there are three hydrogen bonds in the base pair, T m The value is higher; when the SNP is T, there are 2 hydrogen bonds in the base pair, T m The value is low; when the site is heterozygous, T m The value is between the two homozygous types, and there is a secondary peak. For the haplotype in the present invention, if the melting curve of the amplified product is a single peak, the melting temperature (T m If the melting curve of the amplified product is a single peak, the melting temperature (T m If the melting curve of the amplified product is a double peak, and the melting temperature of the main peak (T m If the value is between the two, the barley genotype is determined to be heterozygous. The primers are shown in Table 1.

Figure 3 As shown, the melting temperature (T m If the melting curve of the amplified product is a single peak, the melting temperature (T m If the melting curve of the amplified product is a double peak, and the melting temperature of the main peak (T m If the value is between the two, the barley is considered to be a heterozygous genotype and phenotypically powdery mildew resistant. The results showed that 50 F2 strains were tested, with A being the same genotype as the powdery mildew-susceptible parent, Vlamingh; B being the same genotype as the powdery mildew-resistant Feng7; and H being a heterozygous genotype.
