TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of molecular markers, and particularly relates to a SNP molecular marker related to fiber length of Gossypium barbadense, and an amplification primer and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cotton is one of the most important economic crops in the world, providing 81% of the world's natural fiber and being the main raw material for the textile industry. At present, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense are the two most important heterozygous tetraploid cultivated cotton species, and more than 97% of the fiber yield comes from the two cotton species. Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense originated about 1.5 million years ago from the hybridization of diploid cotton in Africa and diploid cotton in the Americas, and genome doubling. Compared with Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium barbadense has longer, finer and stronger fibers, but lower yield. Cultivating high-quality and high-yield Gossypium barbadense varieties is necessary for the textile industry. Therefore, it is of great significance to mine genes related to fiber quality in Gossypium barbadense.
[0003] Compared with Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium barbadense has better fiber quality and lower yield. There are few studies on genes related to fiber quality and yield of Gossypium barbadense, and further functional verification is needed for truly effective selection sites or genes. At the same time, due to the narrow genetic basis of Xinjiang Gossypium barbadense with fewer backbone parents, whole-genome association analysis combined with re-sequencing data can fully utilize germplasm resources and break the bottleneck of genetic diversity. The rapid development of high-throughput DNA sequencing technology makes it possible to re-sequence large-scale cotton core germplasm resources, and a large amount of high-quality SNPs can be obtained through data alignment. However, there is no report on SNP molecular markers related to fiber length of Gossypium barbadense. SUMMARY

[0036] The application does not have special limitations on the sequence of the probe or primer, and a probe or primer capable of specifically detecting the SNP molecular marker can be used.
[0037] The application provides application of the SNP molecular marker related to the fiber length of Gossypium barbadense, the primer, the kit or the Gossypium barbadense SNP gene chip in fiber length prediction and / or screening of Gossypium barbadense.
[0038] The application provides a method for analyzing the fiber length of Gossypium barbadense by using the SNP molecular marker, comprising the following steps:
[0039] extracting genomic DNA of a sample to be tested;
[0040] using the extracted genomic DNA of the sample to be tested as a material, analyzing the genotype of the SNP molecular marker, and analyzing the fiber length of Gossypium barbadense according to the genotype of the SNP molecular marker;
[0041] when the genotype of the SNP molecular marker is a CC genotype, the sample to be tested has no fiber length advantage;

[0043] In the present application, the genotype of the SNP molecular marker is preferably analyzed by resequencing.

In order to further verify the biological function of the SNP molecular marker, the resequencing results of another batch of island cotton population are analyzed, and the results are consistent with the above results. Therefore, the SNP molecular marker is a SNP molecular marker closely linked to the fiber length trait of island cotton, and can be used for breeding and identification of long fiber varieties of island cotton.
[0044] The present application provides the application of the SNP molecular marker related to the fiber length of island cotton, the primer, the kit or the island cotton SNP gene chip in breeding and / or improving the island cotton variety with fiber length advantage.
[0045] In the present application, the method of breeding and / or improving the island cotton variety with fiber length advantage preferably uses the above method to analyze the genotype of the SNP molecular marker of the island cotton variety, and selects the island cotton material with genotype TT for breeding or improvement.
[0046] The SNP molecular marker related to the fiber length of island cotton, the amplification primer thereof and the application thereof provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with examples, but they should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0049] Population materials and phenotype statistics
[0050] 1. Population material selection and field trial design
[0051] In this study, a total of 240 Gossypium barbadense L. materials were collected from Xinjiang, China and other countries and regions for fiber length investigation, among which 220 were the main cultivars independently bred in Xinjiang since the end of the 20th century, 3 were perennial semi-wild Gossypium barbadense L. germplasm, and 15 were varieties from abroad, covering representative varieties in Central Asia, the United States and Egypt.

[0053] 2. Identification of fiber length traits and statistical analysis of phenotypic data
[0054] In the boll opening period in March, 50 bolls located in the middle of the plant and normally intact were randomly picked from each row, dried and then rolled by a skin roller. 20 g of fiber was randomly selected and sent to the Cotton Quality Supervision and Inspection Test Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Fiber length traits were detected according to the standard GB / T 20392-2006 "HVI Cotton Fiber Physical Property Test Method".

[0059] Obtaining of SNPs
[0060] 1. Library construction and sequencing
[0061] The tender leaf tissues of each material in the population were collected, the sample genomic DNA was extracted by CTAB method, and the purity and integrity of the DNA were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis and ultraviolet absorption method. The qualified DNA samples were sequenced by Beijing Nuoweziyuan Technology Co., Ltd. The sample was randomly broken by a Covaris crusher to form fragments with a length of about 350 bp. Subsequently, a series of operations such as end repair, addition of ploy A tail, connection of sequencing adapter, purification and PCR amplification were carried out in turn to complete the preparation of the whole library. The constructed library was sequenced by using an Illumina HiSeq PE150 sequencing platform. The average sequencing depth reached 10.85x, and a total of 6.3 Tb of raw data was generated.
[0062] 2. Genotyping and filtering
[0063] The high-quality Gossypium barbadense genome (Gossypium barbadense (AD2) '3-79' genome HAU_v2_a1, https: / / www.cottongen.org / species / Gossypium_barbadense / HAU-AD2_genome_v2.0) [1] was used as the reference genome for variant detection. First, the fastq file was filtered by fastp with the parameters "-c-n 15-u 50-q15". The reference genome was indexed by using bwa software, and the filtered fastq file was aligned to the reference genome to obtain a sam format file. The sam file was converted to bam format and sorted and repeated fragments were removed by using samtools and sambamba software. The gatk software was used to identify SNP and Indel variations. The SNP variations were filtered with the standard "QUAL < 60 QD < 20.0 FS > 10.0 MQ < 30.0 MQRankSum < -1.65 ReadPosRankSum < -8.0". Finally, the vcftools was used to filter and remove SNP sites with a minimum allele frequency less than 0.05 and a deletion rate greater than 20%, and 3110663 high-quality SNPs (SNP Figure 1 ) were retained for subsequent whole genome association analysis.

[0080] The present embodiment studies the influence of different alleles of SNP site Gbar_A06_93397381 on fiber length traits. According to the resequencing results of 240 Gossypium barbadense materials, the genotypes of each material were analyzed. One of the materials lacked phenotype data, so 239 materials were used for phenotype and genotype statistics. There were 100 CC type materials, 134 TT type materials, and only 5 CT type materials, which were relatively few and the phenotype was not representative. Only CC type materials and TT type materials were analyzed, and the results showed that the fiber length of materials carrying T base was significantly higher than that of materials carrying C base Figure 7 ).
