Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to an RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a visual rapid detection system for guava fruit flies and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Guava fruit fly, Bactrocera correcta (Bezzi), belongs to Diptera, Tephritidae, Bactrocera, and is listed as a quarantine pest in my country. Its invasion prevention and control has received special attention. Guava fruit fly has a wide range of hosts and can harm more than 60 species of plants in 30 families, mainly tropical and subtropical fruit and vegetable plants, including guava (Psidium guajava), wax apple (Syzygiumsamarangense), mango (Mangifere indica), cherry (Muntigia calabura), cashew (Anacardiumoccidentale), etc. In the main occurrence areas of guava fruit fly, its damage rate to the host can reach 60% to 80%, seriously affecting the yield and quality of tropical fruits and vegetables. In recent years, guava fruit flies are often intercepted in imported fruits and vegetables in my country; at the same time, the insect is monitored and causes harm in some provinces and cities in southern my country; its entry quarantine and field management have received more attention, so there is an urgent need to develop quarantine identification and field monitoring technologies suitable for the front line.
[0003] The main way guava fruit flies cause harm is that female insects lay eggs under the host fruit peel, and the hatched larvae eat inside the fruit, causing mold and fungal infections, resulting in large-scale rot and fall of the fruit, causing the affected fruit to lose its economic value. In my country, guava fruit flies were first reported in Yuanjiang, Yunnan in 1982, and then gradually spread to surrounding provinces and cities. The latest data in 2022 show that guava fruit flies were monitored and found in Sanya, Hainan Province. As an important place for my country to expand its opening up and actively promote global economic integration, Hainan's international import and export trade, especially the trade in high-quality tropical fruits, will undoubtedly grow further, but it will also bring greater challenges to my country's customs in preventing the invasion of alien species.
[0004] At present, the identification of guava fruit flies is mainly based on traditional morphological identification and molecular biological identification technology. However, during entry and exit quarantine, customs officers often intercept fruit flies in non-adult stages (eggs, larvae and pupae), which makes it difficult to identify their species only by morphology. It takes a long time to raise non-adult stages to adults and then identify their species, which seriously affects the speed of port quarantine and thus affects trade. Existing molecular identification technologies are mainly PCR and real-time fluorescence PCR technologies. Although accurate identification can be achieved, they rely on expensive instruments and equipment, and the identification cost is high. They do not meet the current port and on-site quarantine requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a recombinase polymerase amplification identification technology for guava fruit flies.
[0005] RPA (recombinase polymerase amplification) is an isothermal amplification technology based on simulating the T4 phage nucleic acid replication mechanism. The RPA system requires two specific primers to identify the target gene, relying on three enzymes: Bacillus subtilis DNA polymerase (IBsu), recombinase uvsX and single-stranded DNA binding protein gp32, as well as the loading factor uvsY of the auxiliary recombinase uvsX. It completes the exponential amplification of the target fragment in 20 to 40 minutes at a constant temperature of 37°C to 42°C. It has been widely used in the efficient detection of human, animal and plant pathogens. The V-type CRISPR effector protein Cas12a has trans-cutting activity. When the target fragment, Cas12a nuclease and crRNA co-exist in the system, a ternary complex is formed to arbitrarily cut the fluorescent reporter molecule in the system. Under the irradiation of a blue light (wavelength of 450nm), the RPA amplification results can be observed by the naked eye. The RPA visualization detection system combined with CRISPR-Cas12a (RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a) has the advantages of rapidity, sensitivity, specificity, and portability, and can meet the needs of rapid and accurate on-site detection.

[0072]
[0073]
[0074] Example 1. Obtaining primer pairs and kits for identifying Bactrocera correcta
[0075] I. Design of primer pairs for identifying Bactrocera correcta
[0076] 1. The present invention designed and synthesized a total of three primer pairs for identifying Bactrocera correcta: Bc-1F / R, Bc-2F / R, and Bc-3F / R. The primer sequences of each primer pair are shown in detail in Table 2.
[0077] Table 2
[0078]
[0079] II. Verification of primer pairs for identifying Bactrocera correcta
[0080] 1. The genomic DNA of the fruit fly samples was extracted using a blood / cell / tissue genomic DNA extraction kit to obtain the genomic DNA of the fruit fly samples.
[0081] The fruit fly samples were Bactrocera correcta numbered 1 in Table 1, Bactrocera zonata numbered 9, Bactrocera dorsalis numbered 10, Bactrocera carambolae numbered 11, Bactrocera minax numbered 12, Bactrocera tsuneonis numbered 13, and Bactrocera tau numbered 14.
[0082] 2. Using the genomic DNA of the fruit fly samples as a template, recombinase polymerase amplification was performed with each primer pair to obtain RPA amplification products.
[0083] The reaction system is 25 μL, consisting of 12.5 μL Primer Free Rehydration buffer, 2.5 μL DNA template, 1 μL front primer, 1 μL rear primer, 1.25 μL MgOAc and 6.75 μL sterile ultrapure water. In the reaction system, the final concentration of the front and rear primers is 0.48 μM.
[0084] Reaction conditions: constant temperature at 37°C for 15 min.
[0085] 3. Perform 1% agarose gel electrophoresis on the RPA amplification product.
[0086] According to the above method, the template was replaced with sterile ultrapure water, and the other steps remained unchanged as a negative control.

[0088] The results showed that the primer pair Bc-1F / R only showed a clear and bright band at 270bp when identifying guava fruit flies, and no band appeared in the negative control. Other primer pairs failed to show high specificity in specific detection. Therefore, the primer pair Bc-1F / R can be used to identify guava fruit flies.

[0100] 4. Make the following judgments based on the electrophoresis results:
[0101] When the positive control shows a clear and bright band at around 270 bp and the negative control shows no band, if the tested fruit fly shows a clear and bright band at around 270 bp, then the tested fruit fly is or is a candidate for Bactrocera correcta; if the tested fruit fly does not show a clear and bright band at around 270 bp (such as no band), then the tested fruit fly is not or is not a candidate for Bactrocera correcta;
[0102] When the positive control does not show a clear and bright band at around 270 bp or the negative control shows a band, the identification result of the tested fruit fly is invalid.
[0103] II. Visual identification of whether the tested fruit fly is or is a candidate for Bactrocera correcta

[0118] When the reaction system of the positive control is green and the reaction system of the negative control is colorless and transparent, if the reaction system of the fruit fly to be tested is green, the fruit fly to be tested is or is a candidate for the guava fruit fly; if the reaction system of the fruit fly to be tested is colorless and transparent, the fruit fly to be tested is not or is not a candidate for the guava fruit fly;
[0119] When the reaction system of the positive control does not show green or the reaction system of the negative control shows green, the identification result of the fruit fly to be tested is invalid.

[0137] The reaction system is 25 μL, consisting of 12.5 μL Primer Free Rehydration buffer, 2.5 L DNA template, 1 μL front primer, 1 μL rear primer, 1.25 μL MgOAc and 6.75 μL sterile ultrapure water. In the reaction system, the final concentration of the front and rear primers is 0.48 μM.
[0138] Reaction conditions: constant temperature at 37°C for 15 min.
[0139] 3. Perform 1% agarose gel electrophoresis on the RPA amplification product.
[0140] According to the above method, the template was replaced with sterile ultrapure water, and other steps remained unchanged as a negative control.
[0141] According to the above method, the template was replaced with the genomic DNA of Bactrocera guajavae, and the other steps remained unchanged as a positive control.
[0142] Test results see Figure 3 The results showed that when the fruit flies to be tested were guava fruit flies, a clear and bright band was present at around 270 bp; when the fruit flies to be tested were not guava fruit flies, no band was present (i.e., no clear and bright band was present at around 270 bp); and the negative control also had no band.
[0143] It can be seen that the use of primer pair Bc-1F / R to identify guava fruit flies has good geographical population universality and inter-species specificity.
[0144] Example 4: Sensitivity experiment
[0145] 1. Use a blood / cell / tissue sample genomic DNA extraction kit to extract the genomic DNA of the guava fruit fly.
[0146] 2. Take the genomic DNA of the guava fruit fly and dilute it with sterile water to obtain the genomic DNA concentrations of the guava fruit fly at 100.0 ng / μL, 10.0 ng / μL, 1.0 ng / μL, 1.0×10 -1 ng / μL, 1.0×10 -2 ng / μL, 1.0×10 -3 ng / μL dilution.
[0147] 3. Using the dilution obtained in step 2 as a template, perform recombinase polymerase amplification using primer pair Bc-1F / R to obtain an RPA amplification product.
[0148] The reaction system is 25 μL, consisting of 12.5 μL Primer Free Rehydration buffer, 2.5 μL DNA template, 1 μL front primer, 1 μL rear primer, 1.25 μL MgOAc and 6.75 μL sterile ultrapure water. In the reaction system, the final concentration of the front and rear primers is 0.48 μM.
[0149] Reaction conditions: constant temperature at 37°C for 15 min.
[0150] 4. Add the RPA amplification product obtained in step 3 to the color development reaction system, and observe the color of the color development reaction system with the naked eye after the reaction.
[0151] The color reaction system is 50 μL, consisting of 5 μL 10×Cas12a Reaction Buffer, 200 nM Cas12a, 400 nM crRNA (Bc-crRNA1), 1 μM ssDNA fluorescent probe, 2 μL RPA amplification product, and the rest is filled up to 50 μL with sterile ultrapure water. The ssDNA fluorescent probe is a single-stranded DNA molecule with a nucleotide sequence of 5'-TTATT-3', in which the 5' end is labeled with a FAM fluorescent group and the 3' end is labeled with a BHQ1 quenching group.
[0152] Reaction conditions: constant temperature at 37°C for 15 min.
[0153] If the reaction system is green under blue light, it means that the corresponding genome content in the reaction system can be detected. If the reaction system is colorless and transparent, it means that the corresponding genome content in the reaction system cannot be detected.
[0154] Test results see Figure 4 The results showed that the sensitivity of primer pair Bc-1F / R in identifying guava fruit flies was 1.0×10 -1 ng / μL.
[0155] It can be seen that the primer pair Bc-1F / R has a high sensitivity in identifying guava fruit flies.
