Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular identification of the Purple Gold variety of Avocado, and particularly to a molecular marker primer for molecular identification of the Purple Gold variety of Avocado and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Avocado, also known as alligator pear, butter pear, or lucky pear, is an evergreen tree belonging to the genus *P. Americana* of the family Lauraceae in the order Lauraceae of the class Magnoliopsida in the phylum Angiosperms. It is a famous tropical fruit and one of the woody oilseed trees. Avocados contain various vitamins, abundant fats and proteins, as well as minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. The kernel contains fatty oil, ranging from 8% to 29%. Due to its rich nutritional content, it has considerable health benefits. With the increasing demand for avocados, a wide variety of avocados have appeared on the market, necessitating varietal identification. While avocado resources are increasing, the lack of precise varietal identification restricts the efficient utilization of these avocado germplasm. Therefore, it is necessary to identify these collected avocado resources to provide a basis for subsequent hybridization, grafting, and other new variety creation techniques. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a molecular marker primer for the molecular identification of the Purple Gold avocado variety and its application, solving the technical problem of inaccurate molecular identification of the Purple Gold avocado variety in existing methods. This facilitates the identification of avocado varieties, making hybridization breeding and processing for consumption easier.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A molecular marker primer for molecular identification of the Zijin variety of avocado consists of five primer pairs: Pac025, Pac98, Pac113, Pac142, and Pac170.

[0006] The primers are: the primers for the molecular marker Pac025, the upstream primer nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the downstream primer nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO.2;

[0007] The primers for the molecular marker Pac98 have the following nucleotide sequences: upstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.3 and downstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.4.

[0008] The primers for the molecular marker Pac113 are shown in SEQ ID NO.5 for the upstream primer and SEQ ID NO.6 for the downstream primer.

[0009] The primers for the molecular marker Pac142 have the following nucleotide sequences: upstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.7 and downstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.8.

[0010] The primers for the molecular marker Pac170 have the following nucleotide sequences: upstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.9 and downstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.10.

[0011] Application of a molecular marker primer for molecular identification of the Zijin avocado variety.

[0012] A method for identifying the Zijin variety of avocado, the method comprising the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: Preparation of the sample to be tested: Select fresh avocado leaves to be tested, wash them, dry them, grind them under liquid nitrogen conditions, grind them into powder, and store them in a -80℃ refrigerator for testing.

[0014] Step 2: Extract DNA from the sample to be tested;

[0015] Step 3: Amplification products of sample PCR;

[0016] Step 4: Fluorescent capillary electrophoresis detection;

[0017] Step 5: Compare peak values ​​to identify the sample.

[0018] (1) PCR amplification was performed using the 5 pairs of specific primers provided, including forward and reverse primers, to obtain 5 amplification products. The peak values ​​of the 5 amplification products were then detected by fluorescent capillary electrophoresis and used as standard peak values. (2) Genomic DNA was extracted from the sample to be tested. (3) PCR amplification was performed using the genomic DNA as a template and the 5 pairs of primers designed. (4) The amplified products were detected by fluorescent capillary electrophoresis and the peak values ​​of the amplification products of each sample to be tested were obtained. (5) The peak values ​​of the 5 amplification products of the sample were compared with the standard peak values ​​of the corresponding primers to determine whether the sample to be tested was the Zijin variety of avocado.

[0019] This invention uses specific primers for PCR amplification, detects the amplified products by fluorescent capillary electrophoresis, and compares the peak values ​​of the sample amplified products with the standard peak values ​​of the specific primers to quickly and effectively determine whether the test sample is the Purple Gold variety of avocado, which facilitates avocado hybridization breeding and grafting work.

[0020] Furthermore, the specific process of step 2 is as follows:

[0021] Take the ground avocado sample and place it in a pre-cooled centrifuge tube. Quickly add 500 μL of lysis buffer, then add 100 μL of antioxidant and 10 μL of Rnase A. Mix thoroughly and incubate at 65°C for 10 min, shaking 2-3 times during incubation. Next, add 150 μL of polysaccharide scavenger and gently mix 15-20 times. Let stand at room temperature for 3-5 min. Centrifuge the tube at 12000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C to obtain the supernatant. Transfer 500 μL of the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube. Add 300 μL of... Mix the chloroform and isoamyl alcohol solutions in a ratio of 24:1, shake vigorously for 15 seconds, and centrifuge at 1200 rpm for 30 seconds to obtain the upper aqueous phase. Transfer 500 μL of the upper aqueous phase to an extraction plate, add an equal volume of isopropanol to the extraction plate, and place it at station 1 of the extraction instrument. In the new extraction plate, aliquot 100 μL of magnetic beads into each well and place them at station 2. Aliquot 500 μL / well of 75% ethanol into three separate plates and place them at stations 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Take the elution plate and aliquot 100 μL, 80 μL, and 60 μL of elution buffer into each well and place them at station 6. Verify the instrument status and extraction plate information, and then run the program. After the program completes, remove the elution plate and perform DNA analysis on the eluted DNA. The remaining eluted DNA can be stored at 4°C. Separately, take 2 μL of the DNA stock solution, add 2 μL of bromophenol blue, and perform agarose gel electrophoresis to check DNA integrity.

[0022] Furthermore, the specific process of step 3 is as follows:

[0023] Using extracted DNA from the test sample as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the provided 5 pairs of primers. The 15 μL PCR amplification system included: 1 μL of 50-200 ng / μL genomic DNA, 7.5 μL of 2×Taq PCR Master Mix, 1.0 μL of 10 pmol / μL forward primer, 1.0 μL of 10 pmol / μL reverse primer, and 4.5 μL of ddH2O. The PCR amplification program included: 96℃ pre-denaturation for 3 min; 30 cycles of denaturation at 96℃ for 30 s, gradient annealing at 62℃~52℃ for 30 s, extension at 72℃ for 1 min, and a final extension at 72℃ for 10 min. The sample was then stored at 4℃ to obtain the PCR amplification product.

[0024] Furthermore, the specific process of step 4 is as follows:

[0025] The PCR products were detected by fluorescent capillary electrophoresis to obtain the peak values ​​of the amplified products. The PCR amplified products of the samples diluted to a uniform concentration were added to the test plate. The test reagents were added separately according to the total system of 11.5 μL: 1 μL of fluorescent PCR product, 0.5 μL of GeneScan™ 500 LIZ, and 10 μL of Hi-Di™ Formamide. After centrifuging the test plate with the added samples and reagents, it was placed in the PCR instrument and the denaturation program was run at 95°C for 3 min. After denaturation, it was cooled immediately. Following the ABI 3730xL test plate operation procedure, the test file corresponding to the name of the test plate was selected, and the SSR sample analysis test program was run. The results were analyzed using GeneMarker software to obtain the number of alleles, peak diagram, peak value, and genotype of each sample.

[0026] Furthermore, the specific process of step 4 is as follows:

[0027] The peak values ​​of the five amplification products of the sample are compared with the standard peak values ​​of the corresponding primer pairs to determine whether the sample is a Zijin avocado variety. If the peak values ​​of the five amplification products of the sample are consistent with the standard peak values ​​of the corresponding primer pairs, the sample is a Zijin avocado variety. If the peak values ​​of the five amplification products of the sample are inconsistent with at least one of the standard peak values ​​of the corresponding primer pairs, the sample is not a Zijin avocado variety.

[0028] Furthermore, in step 3, the provided 5 pairs of primers are used as the designed specific primers. The 5' ends of the forward primers all have fluorescent groups: the fluorescent group of Pac025 is FAM, the fluorescent group of Pac98 is HEX, the fluorescent group of Pac113 is FAM, the fluorescent group of Pac142 is FAM, and the fluorescent group of Pac170 is FAM.

[0029] Furthermore, in step 5, the standard peak values ​​of the primer pairs are as follows: the standard peak values ​​of the first primer pair are 238 and 244, the standard peak values ​​of the second primer pair are 270 and 276, the standard peak value of the third primer pair is 218, the standard peak values ​​of the fourth primer pair are 278 and 281, and the standard peak values ​​of the fifth primer pair are 187 and 191.

[0030] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] (1) When the leaves, flowers and trunk of the Avocado Purple Gold variety cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, this invention can be used to identify whether it is the Avocado Purple Gold variety before hybridization breeding, thus clarifying the parent plants for hybridization breeding.

[0032] (2) Nowadays, avocados are becoming more and more popular, and there are more and more varieties on the market. However, avocados look similar but have different qualities and different prices. This method can help people quickly distinguish the fruits, determine the price, and maintain the trade order of the avocado market. Attached Figure Description
