Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of molecular marker screening, and particularly relates to an SSR molecular marker primer set related to the identification of Polygonatum germplasm resources and its application. Background Art

[0002] Polygonatum is a perennial monocotyledonous plant of the genus Polygonatum in the family Liliaceae, and it is widely distributed. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, Polygonatum plants have the effects of increasing coronary blood flow, enhancing immunity, regulating blood lipid, reducing blood sugar, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, and delaying aging. Modern pharmacological research believes that it has a variety of medicinal functions such as improving learning and memory ability, relieving fatigue, protecting heart and liver functions, antioxidation, delaying aging, reducing blood sugar concentration, treating osteoporosis, and anti-cancer. There are many types of Polygonatum, and common ones include Polygonatum cyrtonema, Polygonatum kingianum, Polygonatum sibiricum, etc. With the wide recognition of the medicinal value of Polygonatum and the continuous increase in market demand, wild Polygonatum resources are facing the risk of over-excavation, resulting in the increasing exhaustion of resources. At the same time, due to the relatively backward cultivation technology and limited planting scale, it is difficult to meet the market demand, further exacerbating the contradiction between resource protection and utilization. In addition, there are many intermediate types among Polygonatum plants, and it is difficult to distinguish them by morphological methods. With the continuous development of molecular biology technology, using molecular markers to identify Polygonatum germplasm resources will be a feasible method.

[0003] SSR, also known as microsatellite DNA, is a kind of DNA sequence formed by tandem repetition of several nucleotides (mostly 1-6), and it is widely distributed at different positions in the whole genome. Among different species of eukaryotes or different varieties of the same species, the number of repetitions at each locus may not be exactly the same, thus resulting in polymorphism at each locus. Usually, it is based on specific PCR products for marking and is widely used in molecular assisted breeding, construction of genetic maps, variety identification, etc.

[0004] At present, the identification technology of Polygonatum germplasm resources is relatively backward, and there is still a lack of development and application of SSR markers for Polygonatum germplasm resources. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art, and provide SSR molecular markers, primer sets thereof and applications related to the identification of Polygonatum germplasm resources. The present invention discovers a primer set of SSR molecular markers related to the identification of Polygonatum germplasm resources, aiming to provide a primer combination that can effectively, quickly and accurately identify Polygonatum germplasm resources by using SSR locus combinations to make up for such deficiencies. At the same time, this method is different from traditional complex means such as genome sequencing of various germplasm plant materials, EST, and construction and analysis of BAC libraries to screen SSR polymorphisms existing in plants. For most medicinal plants whose genomes have not been sequenced, transcriptome sequencing and its assembly series analysis are used to identify the existing SSR polymorphic molecular markers, which is beneficial to the identification, evaluation, sharing and utilization of Polygonatum germplasm resources, and provides a technical basis for the digital and intelligent management of Polygonatum germplasm resources. In addition, the SSR molecular markers provided by the present invention are simple to operate, have good reproducibility and high result reliability, and can distinguish different germplasms of Polygonatum plants.

[0060] The present application will be described in detail below in combination with examples and experimental data.

[0061] Example 1 Development of SSR molecular marker primers related to the identification of Polygonatum germplasm resources

[0062] S1: PCR primer design and synthesis:

[0063] Analyze the sequence of the transcriptome sequencing and assembly results of different germplasm Polygonatum, search for SSR tandem repeat sequences, and design primers using Primer 5.0 software.

[0064] S2: Extract genomic DNA of Polygonatum germplasm by CTAB method:

[0065] (1) Select the fresh leaves of 12 Polygonatum sibiricum germplasms shown in Table 2 into a mortar, add 2 mL of CTAB extraction solution and an appropriate amount of quartz sand, thoroughly grind the leaves, and use a pipette to aspirate about 1 mL of the ground solution into a sterilized 1.5 mL centrifuge tube. Place it in a water bath at 65 °C for 10 min, centrifuge at 8000 xg at room temperature for 5 min, aspirate about 600 μL of the supernatant into a newly numbered 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, in a fume hood, add 600 μL of chloroform, mix well for 5 min, centrifuge at 8000 xg at room temperature for 5 min, in the fume hood, aspirate about 500 μL of the supernatant into a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 700 μL of pre-cooled absolute ethanol, mix well, let it stand at -20 °C for 30 min, centrifuge at 8000 xg at room temperature for 5 min. At this time, a white precipitate can be seen, which is DNA. Pour out the supernatant, add 1 mL of 75% ethanol, gently flick the centrifuge tube wall to wash the DNA, centrifuge at room temperature for 2 min, pour out the supernatant, open the lid for 5 min. After the 75% ethanol has completely evaporated, add 200 μL of TE solution. After the DNA has completely dissolved, store it at -20 °C;

[0066] (2) Quality detection of the genomic DNA of Polygonatum sibiricum germplasm. Weigh 0.25 g of agarose powder and add 25 mL of 1x TAE solution to a conical flask, heat it in a microwave oven until the solution boils about three times (the agarose powder melts), cool it to 60 °C (as long as it is not hot to the touch), add 1 μL of nucleic acid staining solution, and shake well. Pour the prepared 1% agarose gel into the electrophoresis gel plate (the gel plate is placed horizontally and poured to two-thirds of the comb), insert the electrophoresis gel comb, and let it cool at room temperature until the gel solidifies. After the gel solidifies, pull out the gel comb, and place the gel electrophoresis plate in the buffer solution of the electrophoresis tank. Use a pipette to add 5 μL of 1 kb DNA Ladder to the first well of the gel. Take another clean disposable glove, use a pipette to aspirate 1 μL of DNA Loading Buffer, change the pipette tip and aspirate 4 μL of the sample, mix it evenly with the DNA Loading Buffer and then add it to the sample well after the Marker. Electrophoresis at 220 V and 150 mA. When the band of 1 kb DNA Ladder runs to two-thirds of the gel, the gel can be taken out, placed on the gel imaging system's gel plate, and the results are photographed and recorded.

[0067] S3: PCR amplification: The total volume of the amplification reaction is 10 μL: 5 μL of 2×TaqMasterMix, 0.3 μL of the forward primer, 0.3 μL of the reverse primer, 1 μL of the DNA template, 3.4 μL of ddH2O. The PCR amplification reaction program is: pre-denaturation at 94 °C for 5 min, denaturation at 94 °C for 30 s, annealing at 56 °C for 30 s, extension at 72 °C for 30 s, 35 cycles, extension at 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR products are subjected to DNA-PAGE electrophoresis and then silver-stained, and the results are photographed and saved after color development.

[0068] S4: DNA-PAGE electrophoresis:

[0069] Preparation of agarose bottom gel: Wash the glass plate repeatedly with distilled water, wipe it with alcohol, dry it, and then assemble the glass plate. Weigh 0.2 g of agarose and 20 ml of TAE water into a beaker, heat it in a microwave oven for 2 min until completely dissolved. Add about 3 mL of agarose bottom gel to each rubber bottom plate, place the glass plate on it while it is hot so that the agarose bottom gel evenly fills its bottom, and it can be used after cooling and solidifying.

[0070] Gel preparation: Add 17.5 mL of 30% gel stock solution, 5 mL of 5×TBE solution, 500 μL of 10% APS solution, 15 mL of ddH2O, and 40 μL of TEMED to a conical flask, mix well, and then quickly pour it into the gap between the glass plates with a glass rod to prevent the generation of bubbles. After filling the gel, insert a 1 mm×40 gel comb, wipe off the overflowing gel. After about 50 min, wait for the gel to solidify, then pull out the gel comb and assemble the electrophoresis tank.

[0071] Gel electrophoresis: Pour 1×TBE electrophoresis buffer into the electrophoresis tank, place the gel in the electrophoresis tank, pour 1×TBE electrophoresis buffer over the upper part of the gel in the electrophoresis tank. Add 2 μL of Marker to the first or the first two sample wells, and add 3 μL of PCR product to each of the remaining wells. Connect the power supply, with a voltage of 200 V and a current of 200 mA. The electrophoresis time is determined according to the actual situation.

[0072] Silver staining: After electrophoresis, place the glass plate in a tray and add an appropriate amount of distilled water. Carefully separate the two glass plates, take out the gel and put it into distilled water, wash it once with distilled water, pour out the distilled water, and put it into a pre-prepared 250 mL silver nitrate solution (0.35 g of silver nitrate, 250 mL of pure water). Gently shake it on a shaker for 10 min, then pour out the staining solution, and wash it 3 times with distilled water to wash away the residual silver nitrate solution on the surface of the gel.

[0073] Color development and recording: Place the washed gel on a shaker, add 250 mL of sodium hydroxide solution (2 g of sodium hydroxide, 250 mL of pure water) and 2.5 mL of formaldehyde solution, gently shake until the bands are clear. After color development is completed, wash away the residual color development solution with distilled water, lay the gel flat under a fluorescent light box, and take a photo for preservation.

[0074] After re-screening, finally obtain 2 pairs of SSR primer combinations with clear, stable bands, good repeatability, and high polymorphism. Then use 12 Polygonatum sibiricum germplasms to verify the SSR primer combinations. The sequences of the 2 pairs of SSR primer combinations are shown in Table 1.

[0075] The sequences of the SSR primer combinations for rapid identification of Polygonatum sibiricum germplasm resources in this application are shown in Table 1.
