Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of molecular biology and crop breeding technology, and in particular to the KASP marker closely linked to the wheat thousand-grain weight gene and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Wheat is one of my country's most important food crops. Faced with the dual pressures of a continuously growing population and decreasing arable land, cultivating high-yielding and stable-yielding wheat varieties is particularly urgent. Wheat yield is the result of multiple factors, among which thousand-grain weight, grains per spike, and spikes per acre constitute the three major factors. Among these factors, thousand-grain weight, due to its high heritability, is a relatively stable factor in improving wheat yield potential. Identifying key loci or genes related to wheat thousand-grain weight and developing tightly linked molecular markers is of great significance for improving wheat thousand-grain weight.

[0003] Currently, a series of grain weight-related genes have been identified in wheat through homologous cloning of thousand-grain weight genes from model plants such as rice and Arabidopsis thaliana. Only a few genes have been obtained through forward cloning, including Tasg-D1, KAT-2A, TaACT7-D, TaTGW-7A, TaTPP-7A, and TaGL1. Among them, KAT-2A (Chen Y et al., 2020) and TaACT7-D (Li X et al., 2023) were cloned using mutants generated by EMS mutagenesis, located on chromosomes 6B and 1DS, respectively. TaTGW-7A was the earliest cloned wheat thousand-grain weight gene. Haplotype analysis revealed that the dominant allele for high thousand-grain weight, TaTGW-7Aa, has a high frequency in core wheat germplasm (65.0%) and 501 wheat varieties (86.0%) in China, indicating that this allele has a strong positive selection effect in wheat breeding (Hu MJ, et al., 2016). TaTPP-7A, located on the short arm of chromosome 7A, encodes trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase. This gene is specifically expressed during grain development, affecting grain filling and size. Further research revealed that TaTPP-7A is an important target gene for domestication breeding, primarily regulating the cleavage, transport, and utilization of sucrose in the endosperm through the T6P-SnRK1 pathway and sugar-abscisic acid interaction feedback (Liu H, et al., 2023). Tasg-D1 encodes a serine / threonine protein kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) containing a TREE domain, exhibiting pleiotropic effects and simultaneously influencing multiple traits such as plant height, thousand-grain weight, ear length, and ear density (Cheng X, et al., 2020). TaGL1 is located on chromosome 1B, with a 97 bp insertion / deletion found in the ninth intron, co-segregating with the grain length phenotype. Overexpression of TaGL1 increased wheat grain length by 10.14% and thousand-grain weight by 12.45%. TaGL1 termination mutations resulted in a decrease in wheat grain length by 10.60-11.74% and a decrease in thousand-grain weight by 16.33-36.53%, indicating that TaGL1 positively regulates wheat grain length, thereby altering total grain weight (Niaz M, et al., 2023).

[0004] Numerous grain weight-related QTLs have been identified in wheat, and the following chelates have been developed: GS7D (Zhang YJ, et al., 2014), TG23 (Hu MJ, et al., 2016), TaGW8-7B (Yan XF, et al., 2019), and TaSus2-2B. tgwFunctional markers such as CWI22 (Ma DY, et al., 2012), CWI21 (Ma DY, et al., 2012), and TKX3D (Lu J, et al., 2015) can be used to quickly and accurately identify the distribution of genes controlling grain weight and their variant types in different wheat varieties. Against the backdrop of continuous global population growth, the surge in food demand makes research on improving wheat yield particularly urgent. Therefore, exploring and utilizing more abundant new grain weight gene resources has become an important task in wheat breeding and research, and is of great significance for breeding high-yielding and widely adaptable new wheat varieties.

[0057] Experimental Example

[0058] Sources of biological materials:

[0059] Wild-type wheat: Jing 411, a known variety that has passed variety approval (purchased from Beijing Seed Company).

[0060] Wheat mutant je0193: It is a stable thousand-grain weight mutant material derived from Jing 411 by EMS mutagenesis. The public can obtain it from the Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The mutagenesis method is as follows: Soak the dry seeds of Jing 411 in water for 10 hours, then treat them with 1.0% EMS for 4 hours, and at the same time conduct gentle shaking at 50 rpm under dark conditions. Rinse the treated seeds under running water for 4 hours, and then plant them in the field. After continuous planting for 6 generations, the stable thousand-grain weight mutant je0193 was screened out.

[0061] Experimental Example 1. Comparison of thousand-grain weight between wild type and mutant je0193

[0062] 1. Experimental materials and methods

[0063] Plant wild type Jing 411 and mutant je0193 in the experimental field of the Zhongpu Field of the Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Plant 15 plants in each row, with a row length of 2 meters. After the wheat matures and is harvested in June, use the Wanshen SC-G type automatic full grain seed examination and thousand-grain weight meter (Hangzhou Wanshen Detection Technology Co., Ltd.) to measure the thousand-grain weight. Measure the thousand-grain weight continuously for three years from 2022 to 2024, with at least 5 replicates each time.

[0064] 2. Experimental results

[0065] Identify the thousand-grain weight of wild type Jing 411 and mutant je0193. After continuous measurement for three years, the results show that the thousand-grain weights of wild type Jing 411 and mutant je0193 are 44.7 - 58.7 g and 29.1 - 45.4 g respectively. Through statistical comparison, it is found that the thousand-grain weight of mutant je0193 is significantly lower than that of wild type Jing 411 (P < 0.0001); compared with the wild type, the thousand-grain weight of mutant je0193 is reduced by 30% ( Figure 1 in B).

[0066] Experimental Example 2. Initial localization of thousand-grain weight gene based on exon capture resequencing

[0067] 1. Genetic population construction and experimental methods

[0068] Reciprocally cross mutant je0193 with wild type parent Jing 411 to obtain an F2 population with 524 individual plants for subsequent gene mapping analysis. Take leaf samples from individual plants of the two F2 populations, extract DNA for subsequent mapping analysis. Under normal field cultivation conditions, harvest the seeds after the wheat matures, and measure the thousand-grain weight of each individual plant.

[0069] Based on the thousand-grain weight phenotypic data, 15-25 individuals with high and low thousand-grain weights were selected from two F2 populations, and their DNA was mixed in equal amounts to construct extreme high and low thousand-grain weight pools. Whole-exome capture resequencing was used to re-sequencing the pooled DNA and the DNA from both parents. Based on the genotype data obtained from the resequencing, the QTLseqr algorithm was used to filter and analyze differential loci in the pooled DNA and parents to determine the chromosomal segments of the thousand-grain weight gene.

[0070] 2. Experimental Results

[0071] Using BSA set separation analysis, the QTLseqr algorithm was employed to filter and screen exon capture sequencing data from the constructed high-thousand-grain-weight and low-thousand-grain-weight F2 single-plant pools. Based on the genotypes and sequencing depth of the identified differentially expressed loci, combined with pool phenotypic information, ED association analysis was performed. The ED value reflected the linkage strength between the SNP locus and the thousand-grain-weight gene. A QTL controlling thousand-grain-weight was identified on chromosome 4A. Figure 2 ).

[0072] Experiment Example 3: Genetic linkage mapping and verification of the thousand-grain weight gene

[0073] 1. Experimental Methods

[0074] Based on the polymorphic sites on chromosome 4A of the two parents, Jing411 and je0193, obtained by exon capture resequencing, two forward primers with different terminal bases and one reverse primer were designed based on known flanking sequences. Sequences with different fluorescent probes were ligated to the 5' ends of the two forward primers. Using KASP Master mix (LGC), the genotype of the sample could be determined based on the fluorescence signal detected after PCR amplification. Based on the SNP sites of Jing411 and je0193 on chromosome 4A, a total of 67 pairs of KASP marker primers were designed. By detecting the genotypes of the parents and individual plants in some populations, 14 pairs of KASP markers with good genotyping were screened and used for genetic linkage map construction.

[0075] 524 individual plants in the Jing 411 / je0193 F2 population were analyzed. The genotype of each individual plant was determined by KASP marker detection. Combined with genotype and thousand-grain weight phenotype data, genetic linkage analysis of the thousand-grain weight gene was performed using QTL IciMapping 4.0 software.

[0076] The above method was used to obtain a pair of KASP markers, TGW265 and TGW57, which are closely linked to the wheat thousand-grain weight gene. The nucleotide sequences of the two forward primers for TGW265 with different terminal alleles are: 5'GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCTccagaataacttccgcttccaC 3' (SEQ ID NO:7) and 5'GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATTccagaataacttccgcttccaT 3' (SEQ ID NO:8). The nucleotide sequence of the universal reverse primer for TGW265 is: 5'gacgagtcctcaataattCgataC 3' (SEQ ID NO:3), and the amplified band length is 54bp. The nucleotide sequences of the two forward primers for TGW57 with different terminal alleles are: 5'GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCTggggtccagagagtcaccG 3' (SEQ ID NO:9) and 5'GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATTggggtccagagagtcaccA 3' (SEQ ID NO:8). The nucleotide sequence of the universal reverse primer for TGW57 (SEQ ID NO: 10) is 5'accaaggctcgaaacatgcaG 3' (SEQ ID NO: 6), and the amplified band length is 29bp.

[0077] The fluorescent tag sequences attached to the 5' end of the forward primers of TGW265 and TGW57 are FAM and HEX, respectively; the sequences of FAM and HEX are shown in SEQ ID NO:11 (5'GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCT) and SEQ ID NO:12 (5'GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATT).

[0078] The TGW265 and TGW57 KASP reaction system consisted of: 2.5 μL of 2×KASP Master mix, 0.07 μL of primer mix (12 μL each of the two forward primers, 36 μL of universal primers, and 40 μL of ultrapure water to a final volume of 100 μL), 0.04 μL of 50 mM MgCl2, 30 ng of genomic DNA, and 5 μL of ultrapure water to a final volume of 5 μL. The PCR amplification program was as follows: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 15 min; 94℃ denaturation for 20 s, 65℃ annealing for 1 min, for a total of 9 cycles, with each cycle decreasing by 0.6℃; 94℃ denaturation for 20 s, 57℃ annealing for 1 min, for a total of 30 cycles.

[0079] The results of the PCR products were obtained by detecting the fluorescence signals with a FLUOstar Omega microplate reader. The amplified products with FAM sequence tags were labeled blue, and the amplified products with HEX sequence tags were labeled red. The primers for the FAM sequence tags were at locus C (TGW265) or locus G (TGW57), and the primers for the HEX sequence tags were at locus T (TGW265) or locus A (TGW57).

[0080] 2. Experimental results

[0081] Using the KASP markers, the F2 segregating population was genotyped to obtain the population genotypes. Combining with the phenotypes, a genetic linkage map was constructed. The results showed that the thousand-grain weight gene was located in the interval of about 3.05 cM between the markers TGW265 and TGW57 on the short arm of chromosome 4A (calculated by QTL IciMapping 4.0 software)( Figure 3 ), the LOD value was 4.12, and the phenotypic contribution rate was 3.95% (the calculation methods of the LOD value and the phenotypic contribution rate are shown in the following non-patent literature: Meng et al. 2015, QTL IciMapping: Integrated software for genetic linkage map construction and quantitative trait locus mapping in biparental populations. Crop Journal 3, 269 - 283.).

[0082] Through fluorescence signal detection (FLUOstar Omega microplate reader), the genotypes of the mutant je0193 (red dots) and Jing 411 (blue dots) could be clearly separated by the TGW265( Figure 4 A in) and TGW57 markers( Figure 4 B in). The genotype information obtained by using these two markers would predict the presence of this thousand-grain weight gene.
