[0056] Example 1

[0057] This example explains the process of obtaining plant thousand kernel weight SNP markers and KASP primer design.

[0058] 1. Exon capture sequencing of 148 samples

[0059] In order to obtain wheat high thousand kernel weight regulatory genes, exon capture technology was first used to determine the genotypes of 148 wheat samples in order to preliminarily determine the development of wheat SNP molecular markers. The specific determination results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0060] 2. Obtain the thousand kernel weight of different wheat and develop SNP molecular markers.

[0061] In order to obtain wheat high thousand kernel weight regulatory genes, on the basis of exon sequencing, the thousand kernel weight phenotype of the above-mentioned 148 wheat varieties planted was determined in order to preliminarily determine the difference of wheat thousand kernel weight phenotype. The specific determination results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0062] Based on the 148 thousand kernel weight phenotype data determined in step 2, combined with the exon capture sequencing analysis results, the contribution of SNP sites of important genes to thousand kernel weight was mined, and a SNP site was screened on chromosome 7B of the wheat genome TraesCS7B02G482100 The SNP site exists in the exon of the gene, and the thousand kernel weight of the SNP variation is significantly increased, and a significant site affecting the thousand kernel weight of wheat (7B: 739932086 bp) is identified (part of the results are shown in Table 1 below) Figure 1 ), and the site is named: 739932086.

[0063] Based on the above sequence difference, and based on the KASP principle, a primer set for PCR amplification to obtain the wheat molecular marker was further developed and designed, and the specific design is as follows:

[0064] 739932086-F1:

[0065] 5'-GCCTTTGACCCCGTTCATGCTAAGCCGACGATCATATTCGGT-3', (the "GCCTTTGACCCCGTTCATGCT" part of the 5' end sequence is the FAM marker sequence, SEQ ID NO. 06).

[0066] 739932086-F2:

[0067] 5'-GCCTTTCTTAGTCCCCTTATTAAGCCGACGATCATATTCGGC-3' (5' end "GCCTTTCTTAGTCCCCTTATT" part sequence is a HEX labeled sequence, SEQ ID NO. 07).

[0068] 739932086-R:

[0069] 5'-GCCGATCGATCGATGTAGATAG-3'.

[0070] When the primer pair combination of 739932086-F1 and 739932086-R is used, it is used to amplify the sequence of base T at the 739932086 locus on chromosome 7B in the wheat molecular marker.

[0071] When the primer pair combination of 739932086-F2 and 739932086-R is used, it is used to amplify the sequence of base C at the 739932086 locus on chromosome 7B in the wheat molecular marker.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] The application of the SNP molecular marker in identifying the thousand-grain weight of wheat is provided.

[0074] 1. Based on the primer pair design in Example 1, the genotypes (TT 50 / CC 40) of 90 wheat materials were detected, and the correlation between the genotypes and the thousand-grain weight phenotype was identified, and the specific process is as follows.

[0075] First, the genomic DNA of each wheat variety was extracted.

[0076] Then, according to the primer designed in Example 1, the DNA extracted above was used as a template to perform PCR (Quant Studio 1 fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument) detection analysis on different wheat samples.

[0077] The 10 μL amplification system was designed as follows during specific PCR amplification:

[0078] KASP Mix (2X), 5 μL; Primer Mix, 0.14 μL; DNA, 30 ng; ddH2O, supplemented to 10 μL; the Primer Mix, per 100 μL: 739932086-F1, 100 μM, 12 μL; 739932086-F2, 100 μM, 12 μL; 739932086-R, 100 μM, 30 μL; ddH2O, 46 μL.

[0079] The PCR reaction program is as follows (may be adjusted according to the amplification results):

[0080] 95℃ 10min; 95℃ 20 s, 61℃ 60 s (10 cycles, each cycle decreases by 0.6℃); 95℃ 20 s, 55℃ 40 s, 34 cycles; 25℃ 15 min.

[0081] 2. The genomic DNA of each wheat variety extracted in step 1 is used for ordinary PCR, and sequencing is performed to verify the accuracy of KASP genotyping.

[0082] First, specific primers are designed for amplification at 739932086 bp of wheat chromosome 7B (the reference sequence is Chinese Spring wheat), and the primer sequences are as follows:

[0083] A7BF: 5'-GCGAGATCGACCTTGGGCTG-3' (SEQ ID NO. 08).

[0084] A7BR: 5'-AAGGGAGATTGGAGAGGGTT-3' (SEQ ID NO. 09).

[0085] Randomly select 8 wheat varieties of TT / CC genotype in KASP genotyping results, and use an ordinary PCR instrument for amplification. After electrophoresis detection, sequencing is performed to verify the reliability of the genotyping results.

[0086] The specific PCR amplification system is designed as follows:

[0087] 2x EasyTaq PCR SuperMix for PAGE (+dye), 10 μL; Primer A7BF / A7BR, 1 μL each; DNA, 60 ng; ddH2O, supplemented to 25 μL.

[0088] The PCR reaction program is as follows (may be adjusted according to the amplification results):

[0089] 94℃ 5min; 94℃ 30s, 58℃ 30s, 72℃ 40s (35 cycles); 72℃ 10min; 16℃ end.

[0090] The specific genotype and the statistical result of the thousand-grain weight of the wheat are shown in Table 1 and Figures 1-4

[0091] Table 1: The corresponding result of different wheat variety genotypes and their thousand-grain weight

[0092]

[0093]

[0094]

[0095]

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] Based on the above statistical result, it can be seen that: the average of the thousand-grain weight of the wheat with TT genotype is 35.46g; the average of the thousand-grain weight of the wheat with CC genotype is 38.43g. The thousand-grain weight of the wheat with CC genotype is significantly higher than that of the wheat with TT genotype, and increases by 8.37%, which has significant difference at the level of p<0.01. That is, the thousand-grain weight of the wheat with TT genotype is significantly lower than that of the wheat with CC genotype.

[0099] The present application can accurately evaluate the thousand-grain weight characteristics of the wheat by precisely detecting the specific gene site through the designed primer pair, and provides a solid foundation for the molecular assisted breeding. In addition, the present application can provide technical and theoretical support for developing new wheat varieties with different thousand-grain weight characteristics by using this gene site, which has great technical value for improving the yield of the wheat.

[0100] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.​
