Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a molecular marker related to sorghum grain width and 1000-grain weight traits and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sorghum has become a globally important crop due to its drought tolerance and adaptability to adverse conditions, but its average yield per unit area is significantly lower than that of other cereals such as corn and rice. Currently, sorghum germplasm breeding for grain size is still primarily based on macroselection. However, traditional breeding methods for sorghum yield traits have reached a bottleneck.

[0003] Functional markers are molecular markers that associate gene alleles with phenotypic traits based on candidate gene polymorphisms. The development of molecular markers associated with specific traits is the core method of marker-assisted breeding. Among them, KASP (competitive allele-specific PCR) technology is a high-throughput genotyping technology based on SNPs, which has played an important role in crop improvement and marker-assisted breeding research in recent years. It has accuracy, flexibility, rapid analysis and good visualization effects. The use of SNP molecular markers to discover and utilize excellent genetic resources, screen out germplasm materials carrying target genotypes, and is of great significance for the directed transfer of target traits, as well as the creation of new sorghum germplasm in sorghum breeding, and the improvement of grain width and 1000-grain weight.

The results showed that there were two SNP sites in the SbTGW3 gene, named TGW3-SNP1 and TGW3-SNP2; among them, the genomic position of TGW3-SNP1 was 1529622bp on chromosome 1 of the sorghum genome (with G and A polymorphisms); the genomic position of TGW3-SNP2 was 1526093bp on chromosome 1 of the sorghum genome (with T and G polymorphisms).

[0108] 3.2 Acquisition of superior haplotypes of the SbTGW3 gene

[0109] Sequence analysis revealed that the two SNP sites of the SbTGW3 gene had three haplotypes in the natural sorghum population, which were named haplotype SbTGW3-GGTT, haplotype SbTGW3-GGGG and haplotype SbTGW3-AAGG respectively; among them, haplotype SbTGW3-GGTT was the SbTGW3-hap1 haplotype of the SbTGW3 gene in the natural sorghum population in Example 1 (i.e. Figure 1 H1), haplotype SbTGW3-GGGG is the haplotype SbTGW3-hap5 (i.e. Figure 1 H5), haplotype SbTGW3-AAGG is the haplotype SbTGW3-hap2, SbTGW3-hap3 and SbTGW3-hap4 of the SbTGW3 gene in the natural population of sorghum in Example 1 (i.e. Figure 1 The nucleotide sequences of each haplotype at positions 1529622 and 1526093 of chromosome 1 of the sorghum genome are shown in Table 3.

[0112] 4. Obtaining SbGS5 gene polymorphic sites and haplotypes

[0113] 4.1 Acquisition of polymorphic sites in the SbGS5 gene

[0114] Resequencing data was used to extract single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information in the SbGS5 gene region of the sample DNA. The results showed that there were two SNP sites in the SbGS5 gene, named GS5-SNP1 and GS5-SNP2. Among them, the genomic position of GS5-SNP1 was 5404386bp on chromosome 9 of the sorghum genome (with T and C polymorphisms); the genomic position of GS5-SNP2 was 5403747bp on chromosome 9 of the sorghum genome (with A and T polymorphisms).

[0115] 4.2 Acquisition of superior haplotypes of the SbGS5 gene

[0116] Sequence analysis revealed that the two SNP sites of the SbGS5 gene had three haplotypes in the natural sorghum population, which were named haplotype SbGS5-CCAA, haplotype SbGS5-CCTT and haplotype SbGS5-TTAA respectively; among them, haplotype SbGS5-CCAA was the haplotype SbGS5-hap6 (i.e. Figure 2 H6), haplotype SbGS5-CCTT is the SbGS5-hap2 haplotype of the SbGS5 gene in the natural population of sorghum in Example 1 (i.e. Figure 2 H2), haplotype SbGS5-TTAA is the haplotypes SbGS5-hap1, SbGS5-hap3, SbGS5-hap4 and SbGS5-hap5 of the SbGS5 gene in the natural population of sorghum in Example 1 (i.e. Figure 2 The nucleotide sequences of each haplotype at positions 5404386 and 5403747 on chromosome 9 of the sorghum genome are shown in Table 4.

[0118]

[0119] 5. According to the steps of Example 1, the association analysis of sorghum yield phenotype and genotype at the target gene SNP site was performed. The results are as follows: Figure 3 Among them, the yield traits are grain width (GW) and thousand-grain weight (TGW). Figure 3 As can be seen, the sorghum grain width and 1000-grain weight of the haplotype SbTGW3-GGGG were significantly higher than those of the other two haplotypes; the sorghum grain width and 1000-grain weight of the haplotype SbGS5-CCAA were significantly higher than those of the other two haplotypes. The two SNPs corresponding to the SbTGW3 gene were closely linked to sorghum grain width and 1000-grain weight, with GGGG being the superior genotype for grain width and 1000-grain weight (SbTGW3-hap5). The two SNPs corresponding to the SbGS5 gene were closely linked to sorghum grain width and 1000-grain weight, with CCAA being the superior genotype for grain width and 1000-grain weight (SbGS5-hap6).

[0120] Example 3

[0121] 1. Based on the conclusion of Example 2, the sequence of 150 bp upstream and downstream of the SNP site was obtained, and primers for the SNP site were designed and synthesized based on the basic principles and process of AQPTMSNP typing primer design. The specific primer information is shown in Table 5.

[0124] Note: The bold sequences in Table 4 represent FAM fluorescent tag sequences, and the underlined sequences represent HEX fluorescent tag sequences.

[0125] 2. Select genomic DNA from 178 of the 340 sorghum accessions extracted in step 2 of Example 2 as templates and load them into 96-well PCR plates according to their number. PCR detection was performed according to the operating instructions of the OMEGAF Reader 96- and 384-well compatible OMEGAFSNP typing detector. The KASP genotyping system PCR amplification system consisted of: 2.5 μL KASP 2× Mix (HiGeno 2x Probe Mix A), 0.07 μL SNP Primer Mix, and 25-100 ng template. The volume was made up to 5 μL with sterile water. The SNP Primer Mix was a mixture of F1, F2, and R corresponding to the SNP locus.

[0126] The PCR amplification program of the KASP genotyping system was as follows: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 10 min; denaturation at 95°C for 20 s, annealing / extension at 61-55°C for 45 s, percycle with a drop of 0.6°C; denaturation at 95°C for 20 s, annealing / extension at 55°C for 45 s; and storage at 25°C.

[0127] 3. After the PCR amplification cycle is completed, the fluorescence value is read using a fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument at 35°C and the results are analyzed using the LGCKlusterCaller software. In this software, HEX and FAM data are plotted on the x-axis and y-axis respectively. The results are as follows Figures 4 to 7 As shown in Tables 6 and 7.

[0134] Note: In Table 6, the KASP marker detection results marked as “-” indicate that there are problems with the material samples. The materials marked in bold are the resequencing results that are inconsistent with the KASP marker results, and the materials marked in the underlined part are heterozygous.

[0136]

[0137] according to Figures 4 to 7 As shown in Tables 6 and 7, the KASP marker detection results for 178 accessions were highly consistent with the sequencing results, with a 98.88% match for the SbTGW3 gene and a 94.94% match for the SbGS5 gene. Among the selected experimental accessions, seven accessions with the SbTGW3-hap5 genotype corresponded to the GGGG genotype, while five accessions with the SbGS5-hap6 genotype corresponded to the CCAA genotype. The marker results had a 100% selectivity rate for both genotypes, accurately identifying the target genotype.

[0138] Based on the above content, it can be seen that the molecular markers provided by the present invention are closely linked to the grain width and 1000-grain weight traits of sorghum, and can accurately and efficiently screen out excellent genotypes SbTGW3-hap5 and SbGS5-hap6, both of which are sorghums with large grain width and high 1000-grain weight, laying the foundation for the breeding of sorghums with large grain width and high 1000-grain weight and the creation of new sorghum germplasm.

[0139] Although the above embodiment provides a detailed description of the present invention, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. People can also obtain other embodiments based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
