Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of crop research mapping population construction, and particularly relates to a method for constructing a point mutation mapping population using a germ cold shock double inducement method. Background Art
[0002] my country is the world's leading cotton producer, with cotton growing belts distributed across Xinjiang, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, Shandong, Hebei, and Anhui. Regionally, there are three major cotton-producing regions: the Xinjiang cotton belt, the Yellow River Basin cotton belt, and the Yangtze River Basin cotton belt. Xinjiang cotton, primarily encompassing Xinjiang and Gansu, is the primary cotton source for domestic consumption. Cotton quality has become a key factor in industrial competitiveness, both domestically and internationally. According to a survey by the China Cotton Textile Association, market demand for mid- to high-end, high-quality cotton accounts for approximately 70% of the total cotton market. National demand is estimated to be over 3 million tons, of which Xinjiang accounts for over 2 million tons, representing 50-60% of Xinjiang's total cotton production. However, despite declining overall production in recent years, my country's raw cotton inventory remains high, with textile companies importing large quantities of cotton from the United States and Australia. This is primarily due to the low quality of raw cotton produced in my country and rising production costs, which have led to the industry's struggle for market competitiveness. Although the sequencing of the cotton genome was completed in 2015, providing key genetic information references for molecular breeding and the creation of new cotton varieties, in actual research and breeding processes, key genetic information on cotton fiber quality is still lacking, and the resolution of excellent varieties is insufficient. The main reason is the lack of a strong, effective and fast research group, which seriously hinders the further improvement of the quality of the bred varieties.
[0003] Research populations can be divided into two categories based on their genetic stability: temporary populations, such as F2, F3, F4, BC, and tri-cross populations. In these populations, the segregating unit is the individual. Once selfed or inbred, their genetic composition changes, making them unusable permanently. Permanent segregating populations, such as RIL and DH populations, are the segregating unit in these populations. While genotypic differences exist between lines, individuals within a line are identical and homozygous, demonstrating self-insegregation. These populations can reproduce offspring through selfing or inbreeding without altering their genetic composition, making them permanently usable. DNA linkage maps can be constructed using different types of segregating populations. To date, mapping population construction has primarily relied on naturally derived materials, constructed through hybridization or backcrossing. These methods are not only limited by the availability of available materials but also require lengthy construction cycles. Once constructed, they often suffer from irreparable defects, limiting their potential for reuse. These shortcomings of genetically segregating mapping populations make them inadequate for current rapid and efficient research strategies. A rapid, efficient, and practical method for constructing mapping populations is urgently needed.
[0004] Irradiation mutagenesis uses high-energy radiation to alter the genetic material of an organism, resulting in different trait variations between the first and subsequent generations. Two common methods of crop mutagenesis are physical and chemical. Physical mutagenesis primarily involves radiation, such as electron beams, lasers, X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays. Chemical mutagenesis is also a common method used in breeding research. Commonly used chemical mutagens include alkylating agents, azides, base analogs, and nitroso compounds. Each mutagenesis method has its own unique characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages.
[0005] Electron accelerators have the advantages of high emission power, high radiation utilization rate, short irradiation processing time, adjustable energy, uniform absorbed dose, simple safety protection requirements, no need to regularly replenish the irradiation source, no residual nuclear waste pollution, wide application range, low investment and low operating cost. In addition, high-energy electron linear acceleration irradiation mutagenesis technology has the advantages of multiple-point mutations, sufficient variation, wide genome coverage, moderate mutation, high mutagenesis efficiency and fast material homozygosity.
[0006] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them.

[0034]
[0035] Example
[0036] A method for constructing a point mutation mapping population using a germ cold shock double-induction method comprises the following steps:
[0037] (1) Select Zhongmian 113, a conventional cotton variety currently used in agricultural production and accurately sequenced;
[0038] (2) selecting high-quality dry seeds from the cotton varieties obtained in step (1) and sealing them in cartons, with each carton weighing 5 kg, and irradiating the packaged cotton seeds with high-energy electron linear acceleration at a dose of 350 Gy and an irradiation time of 2 s to induce irradiation, thereby obtaining primary mutagenized M0 generation seeds;
[0039] (3) soaking the primary mutagenized M0 generation seeds in 120 ppm gibberellin GA3 at 25°C for 6 h, then taking them out and irradiating them with cold fluorescent light at 18°C for 12 h for secondary mutagenization treatment. The mutagenization treatment method was the same as step (2) to obtain secondary mutagenized M0 generation seeds;
[0040] (4) The secondary mutagenesis M0 generation seeds were rinsed, soaked overnight, and sown. Young leaves at the three-leaf and one-heart stage were taken and resequenced against the sequencing reference genome for point mutation detection. Individual plants with the target trait of cotton fiber length were screened, and mutant M1 seeds were harvested.
[0041] (5) From all seeds of the M1 generation harvested from single sowing, young leaves at the three-leaf, one-heart stage were taken and resequenced against the sequencing reference genome for point mutation detection and mutant M2 seeds were harvested from individual plants;
[0042] (6) From all seeds of the M2 generation harvested from single sowing, young leaves at the three-leaf, one-heart stage were taken and resequenced against the sequencing reference genome for point mutation detection and mutant M3 seeds were harvested from individual plants;
[0043] (7) All seeds of the M3 generation harvested from single seed sowing were screened for extreme cases of the target trait, and young leaves at the three-leaf, one-heart stage were taken and resequenced against the sequencing reference genome for point mutation detection;
[0044] (8) Based on the specific situation of point mutation detection, rationally screen the mutation mapping population.
[0045] Figure 1 These are normal seedlings of Zhongmian 113 without mutation, and were self-pollinated to maintain purity.
[0046] Figure 2 These are the mutant seedlings of Zhongmian 113 obtained after irradiation mutagenesis;
[0047] Its advantages are as follows: through the double mutagenesis strategy of two irradiation mutagenesis (350Gy+150Gy combined with gibberellin cold shock (120ppm GA3, 18℃ cold fluorescence irradiation), the mutation efficiency is significantly improved. After the first mutagenesis, gibberellin is used to break the seed dormancy, cold shock enhances the embryo sensitivity and performs appropriate cold shock repair. The second mutagenesis further induces multiple point mutations, breaking the limitations of traditional single mutagenesis. Continuous single seed sowing from M1 to M3 generations is combined with resequencing screening, and stable mutant traits are quickly homozygous within 3 generations, shortening the traditional mapping population construction cycle (usually 5-6 generations of self-pollination), and the efficiency is improved by more than 40%. 10MeV electron accelerator To ensure accurate dose (error <±5Gy), the initial mutagenesis of 350Gy induced a lethality of 15%-20%, and the secondary 150Gy reduced the chimera ratio from 45% to 12%.
[0048] Figure 3 This is the fiber length mutation mapping population for Zhongmian 113;
[0049] The advantages are as follows: for key traits such as cotton fiber length and strength (for example, the fiber length variation in the embodiment is up to ±35 mm), extreme phenotypic populations are constructed, providing high-resolution point mutation materials for gene mapping.
[0050] Figure 4 This is the carding diagram of part of the material in the group of fiber length mutation mapping for Zhongmian 113.
[0051] The results are as follows: mutants with a fiber length of 34.5 mm were screened out from the M3 generation of some materials (the control cotton 113 was 30.8 mm), and the strength was increased to 35 cN / tex (the original variety was 31 cN / tex), reaching the level of Australian cotton.
