Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a co-dominant SSR marker tightly linked to a tobacco pectin gene qPec and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tobacco is a leaf-growing cash crop. Tobacco leaves contain a variety of chemical elements. Currently, more than 3,000 chemical components have been identified. However, with the application of modern separation and analysis instruments such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry in tobacco research, the trace components that were once hidden will be revealed, and the number of chemical components in tobacco leaves will increase dramatically. As the raw material of tobacco leaves, the basis of the cigarette industry, its quality directly affects the quality of finished cigarettes. The quality of tobacco leaves is the result of the combined effects of various chemical components in its leaves. Therefore, the chemical composition of tobacco leaves is an important indicator for the identification of tobacco leaf quality, and it is also the manifestation of appearance quality and internal quality in appearance characteristics and smoke characteristics.

[0003] So far, the research on tobacco leaf chemical components has mainly focused on the identification of tobacco leaf chemical components and the close relationship between the main chemical components and smoking quality, appearance quality, physical properties and safety, while there are few studies on genetic analysis and gene / QTL positioning of tobacco leaf chemical components. Julio et al. (E.Julio, B.Denoyes-Rothan, J.-L.Verrier, F.Dorlhac de Borne, Detection of QTLs linked to leaf and smoke properties in Nicotiana tabacum based on a study of 114 recombinant inbred lines. MolBreeding, 2006, DOI 10.1007 / s11032-006-9019-0) were the first to use AFLP, ISSR, SSAP and SCAR markers to conduct gene / QTL positioning research on tobacco leaf chemical components at the molecular level. They conducted preliminary gene / QTL analysis on six tobacco leaf chemical components, including total alkaloids, nicotine, nornicotine, anabasine, citric acid and malic acid. However, the results of the gene / QTL localization analysis are incomplete and inaccurate. The main reasons are: first, the tobacco genetic linkage map used for gene / QTL localization analysis by Julio et al. (2006) was of low quality, with only 18 linkage groups constructed from 184 markers, which did not meet the complete requirement of 24 chromosomes (linkage groups) of tobacco; second, they only obtained unilateral markers linked to the above-mentioned 6 tobacco leaf chemical components, and failed to obtain bilateral markers linked to the target gene / QTL (6 tobacco leaf chemical components) for effective localization; finally, the genetic distance between the obtained unilateral linkage marker and the target gene / QTL was large, resulting in low accuracy of the gene / QTL localization results. Subsequently, Xiao Bingguang et al. (Xiao Bingguang, Lu Xiuping, Jiao Fangchan, Li Yongping, Sun Yuhe, Guo Zhaokui. Preliminary analysis of QTLs for several chemical components in flue-cured tobacco. Acta Agronomica Sinica, 2008, 34(10): 1762-1769) used 11 ISSR markers and 158 RAPD markers to construct a low-quality tobacco genetic linkage map containing 27 linkage groups, and conducted gene / QTL analysis on three tobacco leaf chemical components, including total sugar, nicotine and potassium oxide.Subsequently, Cai Changchun et al. (Cai Changchun, Chai Liguang, Wang Yi, Xu Fangsen, Zhang Junjie, Lin Guoping, Construction of molecular marker genetic map of burley tobacco and genetic analysis of some traits. Acta Agronomica Sinica, 2009, 35(9): 1646-1654), Li Lihua et al. (Li Lihua, Chen Meixia, Zhou Dongxin, Chen Shunhui, Tao Aifen, Li Yankun, Ma Hongbo, Qi Jianmin, Guo Yuchun, QTL positioning of six important traits of tobacco. Acta Agronomica Sinica, 2011, 37(9): 1577-1584) and Liu Yingchao et al. (Liu Yingchao, Fang Dun Huang, Xu Haiming, Tong Zhijun, Xiao Bingguang, QTL positioning of tobacco alkaloid traits. Acta Agronomica Sinica, 2024, 50(1): 42-54) A low-quality tobacco genetic linkage map with a small number of markers was constructed using AFLP and SRAP markers, ISSR and SRAP markers, and SNP markers, respectively. Gene / QTL analysis was performed on nine tobacco leaf chemical components, including nicotine, total nitrogen, total sugar, total chlorine, total potassium, total alkaloids, nornicotine, anabasine, and anatabine, but the accuracy of the positioning analysis results was still low.

[0004] However, there has been no report on the QTL location analysis of tobacco pectin so far. Therefore, the lack of genetic research and location analysis of tobacco pectin traits has seriously restricted the breeding process of new high-pectin tobacco varieties using markers closely linked to the tobacco pectin gene qPec.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention firstly uses the high-quality flue-cured tobacco variety Y3 (with high content of tobacco pectin in the flue-cured tobacco leaves, containing gene qPec) and the main flue-cured tobacco variety K326 (with no tobacco pectin in the flue-cured tobacco leaves) as parents, and constructs a tobacco recombinant inbred line (RILs_F) containing 269 strains through hybridization and continuous bagging and self-pollination. 8:9 ) as the mapping population; secondly, the large-scale SSR molecular markers developed by our laboratory based on the genome information of the high-quality flue-cured tobacco variety Y3 were used to map 269 RILs_F 8:9 The genotypes of the strains were analyzed and a high-quality tobacco SSR molecular genetic linkage map was constructed. The map contained 2059 SSR markers and was evenly distributed on 24 linkage groups of tobacco, covering a genome length of 1759.74 cM. Secondly, after the tobacco matured and was harvested, the pectin content of the C3F middle tobacco leaves after baking was detected by ion chromatography (IC). Finally, quantitative trait linkage analysis (QTL) method was used in combination with RILs_F 8:9The genotypic data (genetic linkage map) and phenotypic data (tobacco pectin content value) were used to screen and obtain co-dominant SSR markers tightly linked to the pectin gene qPec in the whole tobacco genome. This not only effectively filled the gap in the QTL positioning analysis of tobacco pectin traits at home and abroad, but also obtained co-dominant SSR markers tightly linked to the tobacco pectin gene qPec. This is an important way to accurately and efficiently use molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) to breed new flue-cured tobacco varieties with high pectin content. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention is to solve the blank of QTL location analysis of tobacco pectin traits, and provides a co-dominant SSR marker tightly linked to tobacco pectin gene qPec and its application.

[0008] Innovation of the present invention: The present invention is the first to conduct genetic and positioning analysis on the tobacco pectin gene qPec.

[0027] The application of the above-mentioned co-dominant SSR marker tightly linked to the tobacco pectin gene qPec is to detect whether the tobacco pectin gene qPec exists in tobacco genomic DNA and the genotype status of tobacco pectin in the tested plants.

[0028] The above application of the present invention comprises the following methods: using primers of IDYK05838 and IDYK05784 sequences to amplify the tobacco genome DNA to be detected, and detecting the PCR amplification products.

[0029] If the PCR amplification product of the present invention contains the sequences shown in SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 3 at the same time, it indicates that the tobacco plant to be tested has a homozygous allele with a high content of tobacco pectin, and the genotype is PecPec.

[0030] If the PCR amplification product of the present invention contains the sequences shown in SEQ ID No. 2 and SEQ ID No. 4 at the same time, the tobacco plant to be tested has no homozygous allele of tobacco pectin content, and the genotype is pecpec.

[0031] If the PCR amplification product of the present invention contains the sequences shown in SEQ ID No.1 and SEQ ID No.4, or contains the sequences shown in SEQ ID No.2 and SEQ ID No.3, the tobacco plant to be tested has a heterozygous allele with a medium content of tobacco pectin, and the genotype is Pecpec.

[0032] In order to select tobacco varieties with high pectin content potential simply and efficiently, the present invention specifically selects offspring materials containing tobacco pectin gene qPec, which can be used for auxiliary selection of tobacco pectin gene qPec, so as to improve the efficiency of molecular marker-assisted selection and the efficiency of high-content pectin tobacco variety breeding. The two co-dominant SSR markers tightly linked to tobacco pectin gene qPec provided by the present invention can not only be used to qualitatively detect whether tobacco pectin gene qPec exists in tobacco genomic DNA at any growth period, but also can clearly and accurately identify the genotype state of tobacco pectin in the tested plant (i.e., homozygous genotype PecPec with the highest content value and stable inheritance, heterozygous genotype Pecpec with medium content value and unstable inheritance, homozygous genotype pecpec with no content value and stable inheritance), thereby improving the scientificity and predictability of breeding new flue-cured tobacco varieties with high pectin content, and accelerating the breeding process.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. It fills the gap in the research on the inheritance and positioning of tobacco pectin gene qPec at home and abroad.

[0035] 2. Clearly and accurately detect the genotype status of tobacco pectin

[0036] The invention provides a molecular marker for detecting the tobacco pectin gene qPec, which can not only accurately determine whether the tobacco to be tested contains tobacco pectin, but also clearly identify the genotype status of the pectin in the tobacco plants to be tested.

[0037] 3. The detection method is efficient, stable, reliable, simple to operate and low-cost

[0038] Compared with the existing low-throughput, high-cost, time-consuming and labor-intensive IC method for detecting the pectin content of mature and baked tobacco, the co-dominant SSR marker described in the present invention is highly efficient, stable, reliable, simple and low-cost.

[0039] 4. No limit on the timing of testing

[0055] Example 1 Screening of co-dominant SSR markers linked to tobacco pectin gene qPec

[0056] The quantitative trait linkage analysis (QTL) method combined with ion chromatography (IC) was used to screen for co-dominant SSR markers linked to the tobacco pectin gene qPec in the whole tobacco genome.

[0057] 1. Experimental Materials

[0058] The flue-cured tobacco variety K326, which has excellent comprehensive traits but does not contain tobacco pectin, was used as the female parent, and the high-quality flue-cured tobacco variety Y3, which has a high tobacco pectin content, was used as the male parent. Through hybridization and continuous self-pollination, 269 recombinant inbred lines (RILs_F 8:9 ) as a genetic mapping population.

[0059] 2. Parents and RILs_F 8:9 Data acquisition of pectin content in tobacco population

[0060] After the test materials have grown into seedlings, they are transplanted to the field. When the tobacco leaves in the field are mature, 10 plants are randomly selected from each strain, and 3 middle leaves from each tobacco plant are selected for labeling and numbering, and then baked. After baking, the 30 middle leaves of each strain are mixed together and ground into powder.

[0061] The obtained C3F grade powdered tobacco samples from the middle of each strain were tested for pectin content in the tobacco leaves after baking according to the tobacco industry standard YCT 346-2010 of the People's Republic of China (Ion chromatography method for determination of pectin in tobacco and tobacco products).

[0062] 269 ​​RILs_F obtained by IC method 8:9 Pectin content of tobacco population as RILs_F 8:9 The phenotypic values ​​of the population were used for the next QTL linkage analysis.

[0063] 3. SSR marker analysis

[0064] Extraction of tobacco genomic DNA: Either the conventional CTAB method or a plant tissue DNA extraction kit can be used. The method can be referred to in existing literature or the instructions in the kit.

[0065] PCR amplification and electrophoresis detection: The PCR amplification system is a conventional system and can refer to published literature. Among them, the label annealing temperature provided by the present invention is 60°C; the PCR amplification program information can refer to relevant literature; electrophoresis detection also adopts conventional methods and can refer to published relevant literature.

[0066] Using approximately 50,000 SSR markers developed by our laboratory based on the Y3 flue-cured tobacco genome information, we identified RILs_F 8:9 The parents (K326 and Y3) and the first generation (F1) of the population were screened for polymorphism, and ultimately, 2158 polymorphic SSR markers were obtained.

[0067] 2158 polymorphic SSR markers were obtained by screening and 269 RILs_F 8:9The samples were subjected to genotyping analysis.

[0068] Finally, the genetic linkage mapping software JoinMap 4.0 was used to map the 269 RILs_F 8:9 The genotype data of the samples were subjected to linkage analysis, and a high-quality flue-cured tobacco SSR molecular genetic linkage map containing 24 linkage groups and 2059 evenly distributed SSR markers, covering a tobacco genome length of 1759.74 cM, was drawn as RILs_F 8:9 The genotype values ​​of the population were used for the next step of QTL linkage analysis.

[0069] 4. Genome-wide QTL analysis of tobacco pectin (qPec)

[0070] The QTL localization and analysis software QTL IciMapping v4.2 was used to analyze the RILs_F 8:9 The genotype data (construction of the genetic linkage group map of flue-cured tobacco) and phenotype data (269 RILs_F 8:9 The tobacco pectin content of the population was determined and a genome-wide QTL scan was performed for the tobacco pectin gene qPec.

[0071] Among them, the relevant parameters are set as follows: the positioning method is ICIM-ADD: Inclusive Composite Interval Mapping of ADDitive (and dominant) QTL, the number of iterations is 1000 (Permutation times = 1000), the significance is 0.01 (Significance = 0.01), and the step size is 0.5 cM (Walk speed = 0.5 cM).

[0072] Finally, under the condition of LOD=3.2983 in the whole genome, a major QTL (temporarily named qPec) for tobacco pectin traits was located at 18.00 cM on linkage group 11. This major QTL can explain about 7.4297% of the phenotypic variation rate, and the LOD value at this time is about 4.5015, see Figure 1 and Table 1.

[0075] Note: PVE is the effect value of QTL, that is, the percentage of phenotypic variation that can be explained by the QTL; Add is the additive effect.

[0076] Example 2 Co-dominant linkage markers in RILs_F 9:10 Verification in individual plants of the population

[0077] Using the co-dominant SSR markers IDYK05838 and IDYK05784, which were closely linked to the tobacco pectin gene qPec, we stained the RILs_F 9:10 The genotypes of individual plants in the population (K326×Y3) were analyzed to obtain RILs_F 9:10 Genotype data of each individual plant in the population.

[0078] On the other hand, when RILs_F 9:10 After the tobacco leaves of the group grew to maturity and were harvested and cured, the middle C3F grade cured leaves of each strain were ground into powder using the IC method and the pectin content was tested. 9:10 Phenotypic values ​​of each strain in the population.

[0079] Finally, 269 RILs_F were analyzed 9:10 The genotype data of the population and the tobacco pectin phenotypic values ​​showed that the genotype values ​​and phenotypic values ​​of the two co-dominant SSR markers IDYK05838 and IDYK05784 published in the present invention were completely consistent, that is, the consistency rate reached 100%.

[0080] The specific analysis method is: when the pectin content of tobacco of each strain obtained by IC method is higher than or equal to that of the parent Y3, the genotype of the strain also presents the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.1 (226 bp) and SEQ ID NO.3 (241 bp) at the same time, which is the homozygous genotype PecPec;

[0081] When the pectin content of each tobacco strain obtained by the test is equal to that of the parent K326 (i.e., the pectin content is 0), the genotype of the strain also presents the sequences shown in ID NO.2 (236 bp) and SEQ ID NO:4 (220 bp) at the same time, which is the homozygous genotype pecpec;

[0082] When the pectin content of each tobacco strain obtained by detection is between that of the parents Y3 and K326, that is, close to the content of the first generation (F1), the genotype of the strain also simultaneously presents the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.4, or contains the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3, which is the heterozygous genotype Pecpec.

[0083] Experimental conclusion:

[0084] The above results showed that the codominant markers IDYK05838 and IDYK05784 were closely linked to the tobacco pectin gene qPec, and the two markers were located on both sides of the target gene (qPec).

[0085] Utilizing the above two co-dominant tightly linked SSR markers, not only can the tobacco pectin content of tobacco at any growth stage be detected accurately, efficiently, conveniently and at low cost, but the genotype status of tobacco pectin in the tested plants can also be clearly identified (i.e., the homozygous genotype PecPec with the highest content value and stable inheritance, the heterozygous genotype Pecpec with a medium content value and unstable inheritance, and the homozygous genotype pecpec with no content value and stable inheritance), thereby improving the scientificity and predictability of the breeding of new varieties with high tobacco pectin content and accelerating the breeding process.
