Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of citrus molecular markers, and in particular to an InDel molecular marker for identifying Sunshine No. 1 tangerine and grapefruit and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sunshine No. 1 tangerine and pomelo is a hybrid of Ehime 28 as the female parent and Chunxiang tangerine and pomelo as the male parent, and obtained the new plant variety rights in 2021. Sunshine No. 1 tangerine and pomelo has orange flesh, very thin and transparent valve membrane, crisp and tender flesh, strong flavor, sweet and sour taste, seedless, excellent quality, and extremely durable in storage and transportation after harvest. It is a "newcomer" among citrus varieties in recent years.

[0003] Sunshine No. 1 pomelo is very popular in the market due to its excellent quality and storage resistance, and the demand for seedlings is far greater than the supply of seedlings. Sunshine No. 1 pomelo belongs to the category of hybrid citrus in the citrus classification. Its leaves are very similar to those of varieties such as Nashi, Harumi, and Haruka. It is difficult to distinguish them from the morphology during the seedling stage. This gives some merchants an opportunity to pass off other hybrid citrus varieties as Sunshine No. 1 pomelo, which seriously damages the rights and interests of growers. If DNA molecular markers can be used to achieve early selection during the seedling stage, it will greatly reduce the losses of growers and reduce the occurrence of "inferior products as good ones" and seedling confusion. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an InDel molecular marker for identifying Sunshine No. 1 pomelo and its application. The present invention can effectively distinguish Sunshine No. 1 pomelo from other citrus varieties, and provide a simple, fast and effective auxiliary breeding method for the identification of early varieties of Sunshine No. 1 pomelo seedlings.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution designed by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] The present invention provides an InDel molecular marker for identifying Sunshine No. 1 pomelo, and the nucleotide sequence of the InDel molecular marker is shown as SEQ ID No.1.

[0007] The present invention also provides a primer pair for obtaining the above-mentioned InDel molecular marker, wherein the primer pair is:

[0008] Forward primer F: AGTTGTGTAGTGTTCAGGACGTAG,

[0009] Reverse primer R: CAAGTGTGATGGAGTCCTGATAGA.

[0010] The present invention also provides an application of the primer pair in identifying Sunshine No. 1 pomelo or in preparing a kit for identifying Sunshine No. 1 pomelo.

[0011] The present invention also provides a kit for identifying Sunshine No. 1 orange-grapefruit, and the kit contains the primer pair described above.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for identifying Sunshine No. 1 orange-grapefruit, comprising the following steps:

[0013] 1) Extract genomic DNA of the sample to be tested.

[0014] 2) Using the above genomic DNA as a template, perform PCR amplification with the primer described in claim 2 or the kit described in claim 4 to obtain a PCR product.

[0015] 3) Detect the PCR product by electrophoresis, and the test results are analyzed as follows:

[0016] When a band 1 of 1231 bp is shown, and the band 1 contains an InDel molecular marker (the nucleotide sequence is as shown in SEQ ID No. 1), then the variety to be tested is Sunshine No. 1 orange-grapefruit.

[0017] Alternatively, when any one or two small fragment bands smaller than 500 bp are shown, the variety to be tested is other citrus varieties.

[0018] Further, in the step 2), the PCR amplification system is as follows:

[0019] Mix solution 7 μl Forward primer F (10 mmol / L) 0.3 μl Reverse primer R (10 mmol / L) 0.3 μl Genomic DNA 1.5 μl <![CDATA[dd H2O]]> 5.9 μl Total 15 μl

[0020] The PCR amplification program includes: pre-denaturation at 94 °C for 5 min; denaturation at 94 °C for 30 s, annealing at 55 °C for 30 s, extension at 72 °C for 30 s, and the reaction is carried out for 35 cycles; extension at 72 °C for another 5 min.

[0021] When using the primer pair or kit of the present invention for variety identification, by using PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis, when the primer with a clear gel image and a size exactly consistent with the prediction is retained (i.e., a band of 1231 bp, containing an InDel molecular marker, and its nucleotide sequence is as shown in SEQ ID No. 1), then the variety to be tested is Sunshine No. 1 orange-grapefruit; when one or two bands smaller than 500 bp are visible in the primer amplification, it indicates that the variety to be tested is other citrus varieties, and there are size differences that can be resolved in the gel image, and thus it can be determined as a marker with good effects that can be used. The agarose gel electrophoresis of the present invention preferably uses an agarose gel with a mass percentage of 2%, a voltage of 120 V, and electrophoresis for 15 - 20 min.

[0022] The present invention also provides an application of the above primer or the above kit in the early identification of Sunshine No. 1 orange-grapefruit.

[0023] The present invention also provides an application of the primer or the kit in tangerine and pomelo breeding.

[0024] The primer pair or kit of the present invention can be applied to the early identification of Sunshine No. 1 tangerine pomelo, and the young leaves of young trees can be used, so the genomic DNA is preferably extracted from young leaves. The present invention does not specifically limit the method for extracting the genomic DNA, and preferably uses the CTAB method or the kit method.

[0025] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0026] The present invention successfully screened and obtained an InDel molecular marker for identifying Sunshine No. 1 pomelo, and developed a pair of primer pairs or a kit based on the InDel molecular marker. By using the identification of Sunshine No. 1 pomelo seedlings, the breeding workload can be reduced to ensure the correctness of the seedling variety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
