[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology and crop breeding, and in particular relates to an InDel molecular marker primer related to the identification of melon varieties and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] melon( Cucumis melo L. ) is among the world's "Top Ten Fruits". Due to its advantages such as short cultivation cycle and relatively high input-output, melon has become one of my country's important economic crops.
[0003] 'Oriental Honey No. 4' is a new hybrid first-generation thick-skinned melon variety independently bred by the Horticultural Research Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It has obtained the Plant Variety Rights Certificate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China (Variety Rights No.: CNA20221006752). Its full growth period in spring cultivation is about 110 days, in summer and autumn cultivation is about 80 days, and the fruit development period is 40-45 days. The fruit is oval, with yellow skin and full net pattern, and the single fruit weighs about 2kg. The flesh is orange-red and about 4cm thick. The flesh is crispy, refreshing and juicy. The soluble solids content in the center is more than 16%, and the taste and flavor are good. This variety has good comprehensive resistance, easy fruit setting, good yield, moisture resistance, low temperature and weak light resistance, and is suitable for cultivation in various facilities and protected areas. Once launched, this variety has been widely welcomed by the market. It has been demonstrated and promoted in many places across the country and has good market development prospects.
[0004] At present, melon hybrids have been widely used in my country, but there are still many problems in the process of artificial hybrid seed production, such as lax isolation or untimely and incomplete artificial emasculation, and biological contamination caused by the mixing of maternal inbred line seeds or melon pollen from other unknown sources. Therefore, hybrids must pass purity identification before packaging and sales. In addition, during the circulation of seeds, counterfeiting occurs from time to time, which seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of melon breeding units and breeders. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for quickly and accurately identifying the authenticity of melon hybrids and the purity of hybrids. Summary of the invention

[0026] 2 Results and Analysis 2.1 InDel marker screening 200 pairs of synthetic InDel molecular marker primers were screened and verified, and a pair of specific primers MS179 was obtained, which can distinguish the melon hybrid variety 'Dongfangmi No. 4' from its parents and 43 other common melon varieties in the market. Figure 1Figure 1 is the amplification map of InDel primer MS179 in 'Dongfang Mi 4' and its parents and other 43 different melon varieties. Specifically, the melon variety 'Dongfang Mi 4' has two specific bands, which are 276bp and 249bp in length respectively; its male parent M15-3 only shows one band, which is 249bp in length; its female parent M06-1-3 only shows one band, which is 276bp in length; and the other 43 melon varieties all show only one band, which is 276bp in length, and there is no band of 249bp ( Figure 1 ), Figure 1 M in the middle represents 500bp ladder; P1 is the male parent M15-3 of 'Dongfang Mi 4', P2 is the female parent M06-1-3 of 'Dongfang Mi 4', and the melon varieties of 1-44 are shown in Table 1, and CK is the negative control.
[0027] The sequence information of the specific InDel primer MS179 is as follows:
[0028] After sequencing, the specific band of 276 bp in 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' and its parent 'M06-1-3' is sequence 1 (SEQ ID NO: 1) in the sequence list, as follows: 5'-CCCCTACCGTGCTCAAACTTTCGATGCCCCTACCATTCTTCGGATATAGCATCTCTTTGTTTAAGGGCATTTCGGTATACATATAAGAGCGACAAAAGGGAAGTCTGAGCGGCAAGGAAGAAATCCTTGCATGTTTAT CAAGAATCCTTCGAACATGCAAGGAAGGGTTTTGGAGGCAAGGTGGAAGCCCAATCATTCAACAAAACCAAATAGAGGGAGGAGAGGTTTCGGAGGCAACACGTGGATTGGAAGCCGCCAATGAAACGAAGGAC-3'.
[0029] The specific band of 249 bp in 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' and its male parent 'M15-3' is sequence 2 (SEQ ID NO: 2) in the sequence list, as follows: 5'-CCCCTACCGTGCTCAAACTTTCGATGCCCCTACCATTCTTCGGATATAGCATCTCTTTGTTTAAGGGCATTTCGGTATACATATAAGAGCGAGAAATCCTTGCATGTTTATCAAGAATCCTCTTC GAACATGCAAGGAAGGGTTTTGGAGGCAAGGTGGAAGCCCAATCATTCAACAAAACCAAATAGAGGGAGGAAGGGTTTCGGAGGCAACACGTGGATTGGAAGCCGCCAATGAAACGAAGGAC-3'.
[0030] The difference between sequence 1 and sequence 2 is that sequence 2 lacks nucleotides 92 to 118 in sequence 1.
[0031] The above experimental results show that the specific primer MS179 can distinguish 'Dongfang Mi 4' from its male parent 'M15-3' and female parent 'M06-1-3' as well as the 43 melon varieties in Table 1. The specific primer MS179 can be used to identify the authenticity of 'Dongfang Mi 4' and the purity of hybrids.
[0032] The authenticity identification method of 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' includes: using the genomic DNA of the melon to be tested as a template, using the specific InDel primer MS179 (the forward and reverse primer sequences are SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4, respectively) to perform PCR amplification according to step 1.3 to obtain the PCR product of the melon to be tested, performing agarose gel electrophoresis detection on the PCR product of the melon to be tested according to step 1.3 and taking photos for observation, if the PCR amplification map of the melon to be tested contains two specific DNA bands (with lengths of 276 bp and 249 bp, respectively), the melon variety to be tested is 'Dongfang Mi No. 4', and other band types that do not meet the above conditions are not 'Dongfang Mi No. 4'.
[0033] The method for detecting the purity of a hybrid of the muskmelon variety 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' comprises taking the genomic DNA of the muskmelon hybrid to be detected as a template, performing PCR amplification according to step 1.3 using the specific InDel primer MS179 (the forward and reverse primer sequences are SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4, respectively), performing agarose gel electrophoresis detection on the obtained PCR product according to step 1.3, if the PCR amplification map of the muskmelon hybrid to be detected contains two specific DNA bands (with lengths of 276 bp and 249 bp, respectively), the muskmelon seed to be identified is a hybrid of 'Dongfang Mi No. 4', otherwise other band types that do not meet the above conditions are not hybrids of 'Dongfang Mi No. 4', and the seed purity of the hybrid of 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' to be detected can be obtained according to the formula: 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' hybrid purity % = (the number of plants (seeds) containing two specific bands / the total number of detection groups (seeds)*100%).
[0034] This study selected 44 melon varieties commonly found in the market, including 22 types of Hami melons, 12 types of cantaloupe melons, 6 types of netted melons, and 4 types of thin-skinned melons. Detailed information is shown in Table 1.

[0037]
[0038] Example 2: Identification of the Hybrid Purity of the Melon Variety 'Dongfangmi 4' A batch of hybrid samples of the melon variety 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' (one seed batch) was tested. Primary samples were taken from 10 points randomly distributed in the seed batch, 10g at each point, and mixed evenly to obtain a mixed sample. 200 seeds were randomly selected from the mixed sample as test samples. The test samples were sown in a 50-hole plug tray, one seed per hole. After the cotyledons were flattened, 1cm of each sample was taken. 2The genomic DNA was extracted from the left and right young cotyledons according to the step 1.1. The genomic DNA of each sample was used as a template and PCR amplification was performed with the specific InDel primer MS179 according to 1.3 (SEQ ID NO: 3 was used as the forward primer and SEQ ID NO: 4 was used as the reverse primer). The obtained PCR products were detected by electrophoresis according to 1.3. The detection results showed that among the 200 seeds detected, 198 seeds had 2 specific DNA bands (lengths of 276 bp and 249 bp, respectively) in the PCR product amplification map, and they were identified as the 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' hybrid; among the 200 seeds detected, 2 seeds had only 1 DNA band (length of 276 bp) in the PCR product amplification map, and they were identified as non-'Dongfang Mi No. 4' hybrids. The hybrid purity of this batch of 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' is 99% (calculation formula: 'Dongfang Mi No. 4' hybrid purity % = (number of plants (seeds) containing two specific bands of 276bp and 249bp / total number of tested populations (seeds)*100%).

For those skilled in the art, without departing from the purpose and scope of the present invention, and without the need to carry out unnecessary experimental conditions, the present invention can be implemented in a wide range under equivalent parameters, concentrations and conditions. Although the present invention provides specific embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention can be further improved. In a word, according to the principles of the present invention, the application is intended to include any changes, uses or improvements to the present invention, including changes that have departed from the disclosed scope in the application and are made with conventional techniques known in the art.
