Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of plant resistance breeding, and particularly relates to a molecular marker related to resistance to powdery mildew of cucurbit, and a KASP primer combination and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cucurbit [Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.] (2n = 2x = 22) is also known as night flowering, calabash, calabash, ground pumpkin, and was first originated in Africa. It is an annual vine herb of Cucurbitaceae. It is widely cultivated all over the world and is used as a grafting stock of melon, vegetables, daily necessities and handicrafts, and has rich germplasm and genetic resources. Powdery mildew is mainly caused by Podosphaera xanthii (Sphaerotheca fuliginea), and is one of the important diseases of Cucurbitaceae melon crops. It has a wide distribution and is easy to spread. It has an impact on the whole growth period of Cucurbitaceae from seedling stage to fruit maturation. It can cause disease on hypocotyl, stem, leaf and fruit, and seriously affects the development of melon industry. At present, the main methods to solve the problem are to plant disease-resistant varieties, control environmental temperature and humidity, apply fungicides and rotate planting, but the prevention and control effect is very small, and it is easy to cause environmental pollution and food safety problems of pesticide residues.

[0003] However, the current breeding of powdery mildew-resistant varieties of cucurbit mainly relies on conventional breeding techniques. The resistance grade is identified by field natural occurrence and laboratory inoculation treatment, and then the disease-resistant materials are screened to breed related varieties. The cycle is long, the cost is high, and the precision is not high. The molecular marker-assisted breeding technology which can significantly improve the breeding efficiency and precision has not been applied. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop related molecular markers to improve the resistance level of cucurbit powdery mildew. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to provide a Cucurbita pepo powdery mildew resistance related molecular marker, a KASP primer combination and application thereof, and aims to solve the problems of long Cucurbita pepo powdery mildew resistance identification period, low resistance variety breeding efficiency, high cost, low accuracy and the like. The present application overcomes the defects of low Cucurbita pepo powdery mildew resistance variety breeding efficiency, high cost and insufficient related genes in the prior breeding, and identifies the genotype and phenotype, so as to mine a CTP synthase gene mutation site located on chromosome 11 by taking the genome Bottle gourd (USVL1VR-Ls) published in the article 'Wu S et al. The bottle gourd genome provides insights into Cucurbitaceae evolution and facilitates mapping of a Papaya ringspot virus resistance locus. The Plant Journal, 2017, 92 (5): 963-975' as a reference genome. The CTP synthase is a key enzyme in pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, directly participates in the immune regulation mechanism, and may be related to Cucurbita pepo powdery mildew resistance. Therefore, a Cucurbita pepo powdery mildew resistance related molecular marker is developed according to the mutation site.

[0006] A Cucurbita pepo powdery mildew resistance related molecular marker, wherein the mutation site of the molecular marker is located on chromosome 11 of a Cucurbita pepo genome, and the mutation of the 24091441th nucleotide G->C. When the 24091441th nucleotide is G, it is a G genotype, and the phenotype corresponding to the G genotype is susceptible to powdery mildew; when the 24091441th nucleotide is C, it is a C genotype, and the phenotype corresponding to the C genotype is resistant to powdery mildew.

[0032] At present, there are problems such as long cycle, low efficiency of breeding of resistant varieties, high cost and low accuracy in resistance identification of cucurbita pepo powdery mildew. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a cucurbita pepo powdery mildew resistance related molecular marker, a KASP primer combination and application thereof.

Two parent materials are recorded in the article "Xing Nailing, Fu Yujing, Wang Ying'er, et al. Cucurbita pepo stock resources light tolerance identification at seedling stage [J]. Jiangxi Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019, 31 (5): 11-16", the public can obtain the cucurbita pepo material from the applicant within twenty years from the filing date, only for repeating the related experiments of the present application.

[0035] Test procedure: Z063, Z0612, F1, and F2 were soaked, germinated, and sowed in plug trays, and then the resistance to powdery mildew at the seedling stage was identified at the 1-leaf 1-heart stage. The identification method was as follows: (1) Collect powdery mildew spores on the leaves of plants with powdery mildew for 7 days, add 4℃ sterile water, and stir at high speed (12000r / min) for 3-5min, and then measure the bacterial content of the suspension by microscope and blood cell counting plate; (2) Dilute the water to prepare 100 spore / mL spore suspension, and the preparation of the bacterial solution and the completion of the inoculation should be completed within 2h (the disease is most likely to occur within 0.5h); (3) At the 1-leaf stage (the plants were sowed in advance to reach the 1-leaf stage), the spore suspension was evenly brushed (brushing leaf inoculation method) onto the leaves of the plants, and then the plants were placed in a biological artificial climate box for 24h of darkness and humidity (covered with a plastic bag for humidity), and then the plants were managed normally under light and darkness alternation; (4) The daytime temperature was controlled at about 25℃, and the relative humidity was 70%-80%; the nighttime temperature was controlled at about 16℃, and the relative humidity was 85%-95%; and the disease incidence was investigated after 15d of inoculation. It was found that the resistance to powdery mildew of bottle gourd was recessive inheritance. The DNA of the leaves of single plants of the parents, F1, and F2 was extracted. The parents were resequenced to detect the difference sites between the parents. According to the resistance to powdery mildew, the F2 population was constructed into an extreme mixed pool. The genome Bottle gourd (USVL1VR-Ls) published in the article 'Wu S et al. The bottle gourd genome provides insights into Cucurbitaceae evolution and facilitates mapping of a Papaya ringspot virus resistance locus. The Plant Journal, 2017, 92(5): 963-975' was used as the reference genome, and BSA sequencing was used to detect a mutation located in the CTP synthase gene on chromosome 11 by Gprime method. According to the mutation, a molecular marker related to the resistance to powdery mildew of bottle gourd was obtained, and the sequence fragment at the site of the molecular marker is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4 (>chr11 chr11:24088019..24093723(-strand)class=mRNA length=5705), wherein n is G / C, when n is G, the G genotype corresponds to the phenotype of susceptible to powdery mildew; and when n is C, the C genotype corresponds to the phenotype of resistant to powdery mildew. Therefore, it is preliminarily determined that the gene is a gene related to the resistance to powdery mildew of bottle gourd. According to the mutation site sequence of the molecular marker related to the resistance to powdery mildew of bottle gourd, a KASP molecular marker was designed, and the sequence is as follows:

[0036] The upstream primer binding to the resistant site is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1: 5'- GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATTAATACTCACCCAATTGTATTTGTAATTC-3'

[0037] The upstream primer binding to the susceptible site is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2: 5'- GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCTAATACTCACCCAATTGTATTTGTAATTG-3'

[0042] Sow the 27 materials, grow to 1 leaf 1 heart period, and perform powdery mildew inoculation. The identification method is (1) collect powdery mildew spores on the leaves of 5 days after disease onset, add 4℃ sterile water, high-speed stirring (12000r / min) for 3-5min, and measure the bacterial content of the suspension by microscope and blood cell counting plate; (2) dilute water to prepare 150 spores / mL spore suspension, and complete inoculation within 2h from the preparation of the bacterial solution; (3) at 1 true leaf stage (sow the plants in advance to 1 true leaf stage), pour the spore suspension into a spray bottle, and evenly spray it on the plant leaves, place the inoculated plants in an artificial climate box for 24h of darkness and humidity (cover with a plastic bag), and then perform normal light and dark alternation management; (4) control the daytime temperature at about 25℃, and the relative humidity at 70%-85%; control the nighttime temperature at about 16℃, and the relative humidity at 80%-95%, and investigate the disease incidence after 15d of inoculation. Extract genomic DNA from the leaves, measure the concentration using NanoDrop 2000, and dilute each DNA stock solution to 20ng / ul. Use the molecular markers described in Example 1 to amplify and detect the extracted genomic DNA.

[0043] Prepare the PCR reaction system as follows: 2xTaq DNA Polymerase Mix 2μL, SNP Primer Mix (4x) 1μL, and DNA sample 2μL.

[0044] PCR steps are as shown in Table 1.
