AI Technical Summary
The lack of effective molecular markers in existing technologies for screening and assisting in screening soybean 100-seed weight has led to slow soybean breeding progress and difficulty in cultivating high-yielding and high-quality new soybean varieties.
Using KASP molecular markers and with the soybean Wm82.a2.v1 genome sequence as a reference, the C20T SNP site (SNP 16321243 on soybean chromosome 11) was detected to identify the genotype CC or TT, and soybeans with high or low 100-seed weight were screened out. The genotype was determined by PCR amplification and fluorescence signal detection or sequencing.
This allows for the rapid and efficient screening of soybean varieties with high 100-seed weight, shortening the breeding process and improving the breeding efficiency and quality of new soybean varieties.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a KASP molecular marker for identifying the hundred-seed weight of soybean and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Soybean (Glycine max (Linn.) Merr.) is an important food and oil crop in China. With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of soybean in China is becoming larger and larger, which leads to a serious contradiction between supply and demand of soybean in China. China is the largest soybean consumer in the world. In the face of huge domestic demand, China cannot meet the demand by self-production and has to rely on a large amount of imports. Since 2000, China has become the largest soybean importer in the world, and the amount of soybean imports has been increasing year by year. In 2024, the amount of soybean imports in China reached 10503 million tons. The huge amount of soybean imports has led to a huge crisis in the domestic soybean industry chain, which seriously threatens the food security of China. Therefore, improving the yield of soybean has always been a serious problem faced by breeders in China.
[0003] The hundred-seed weight of soybean is one of the important factors affecting the yield of soybean. According to statistics, the hundred-seed weight of cultivated soybean is generally 3.0g-77.5g, and the hundred-seed weight of wild soybean is generally 0.5g-10.0g. When the hundred-seed weight of soybean is generally 19.2g, the highest yield can be expected. Both too large and too small are not conducive to the increase of soybean yield. Therefore, breeding soybean varieties with reasonable hundred-seed weight is helpful to the increase of soybean yield. Some genetic loci and candidate genes related to the hundred-seed weight of soybean have also been reported, but molecular markers for soybean molecular assisted breeding still need to be further developed. Cultivated soybean has a much lower genetic diversity than wild soybean through selection. By mining and developing molecular markers related to the hundred-seed weight of soybean in wild soybean and applying them in modern breeding process, it has important scientific significance to fully utilize the excellent genetic information of wild soybean and breed new soybean varieties with high yield and high quality.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0041] Example 1: Discovery of soybean hundred-seed weight specific SNP site
[0042] The soybean material in this embodiment is derived from: in 2006, using cultivated soybean Jidou 12 as the female parent and wild soybean ZYD02738 as the male parent, a RIL population was established by hybridization. In 2012, Jidou 12 was used as the female parent and the RIL population was used as the male parent to perform backcrossing, and the BC1F1 population was obtained in 2013. In 2014, Jidou 12 was used as the female parent and the BC1F2 of Jidou 12 and ZYD02738 combination was used as the male parent to perform backcrossing; the BC2F1 population was obtained in 2015. After selfing for 4 times, the BC2F4:5 population, i.e. population 14019, was obtained. In December 2018, Sanya, leaves were taken from the rows of BC2F4:5, DNA was extracted by BMAIKE company, and each strain was genotyped to construct a genetic map.
[0043] The phenotypic detection method of soybean hundred-seed weight is as follows: the number of single plant seeds and the weight of single plant seeds of each strain of wild soybean substitution line population 14019 are counted, and the calculation formula of hundred-seed weight is: hundred-seed weight = (weight of single plant seeds / number of single plant seeds) x 100.
[0044] QTL mapping of soybean hundred-seed weight is performed in combination with the phenotypic data, such as Figure 1The QTLs associated with the soybean 100-seed weight trait were located on chromosome 11 of soybean, and the SNP marker associated with the QTLs was Chrll_16321243_C_T. The SNP was located at the 16321243th SNP on chromosome 11 of soybean, and the nucleotide type was C or T, which was the 20th nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1, with the soybean Williams 82 (Wm82.a2.vl) genome sequence as the reference genome.

[0046]
[0047] The genotypes of each family in the population corresponding to the soybean SNP marker Chrll_16321243_C_T were divided into three types, CC, TT and C / T. The genotype CC was a homozygous type of C, the genotype TT was a homozygous type of T, and the genotype CT was a heterozygous type of C and T. The 100-seed weight phenotype values of the 53 soybean materials in the strain and the genotype identification results of Chrll_16321243_C_T in this embodiment are shown in Table 2 and Table 3. Figure 2 As shown in Table 2 and Table 3, in 2019, the average 100-seed weight of the CC genotype and the TT genotype family was 14.44 g and 11.92 g, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of the TT genotype family by 21.14% (P<0.001); in 2021, the average 100-seed weight of the CC genotype and the TT genotype family was 10.85 g and 9.11 g, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of the TT genotype family by 19.09% (P<0.001).

[0056] 11PC-1-R: CCATCAACCTTGTGGAGACC (SEQ ID NO: 4);
[0057] The KASPAssay Mix enzyme 5 μL was selected for amplification: (1.2 μL of 11PC-1-FAM, 1.2 μL of 11PC-1-VIC, 3 μL of 11PC-1-R, and 4.6 μL of ddH2O). The reaction system was as shown in Table 3, and the reaction procedure was as follows: 94°C for 15 min; 94°C for 20 s, 61-55°C for 30 s, 10 cycles, each cycle decreasing by 0.6°C; 94°C for 20 s, 55°C for 1 min, 26 cycles, and finally 30°C for 1 min.

[0059]
[0060] The F3 generation subpopulation 66 strains derived from population No. 14019 were genotyped using the marker Chr11_16321243_C_T.

[0066]
[0067] The average hundred-grain weight of the CC genotype and TT genotype families was 17.79 g and 14.21 g, respectively, and the average hundred-grain weight of the CC genotype family was significantly higher than that of the TT genotype family by 25.16% (P<0.001). It was shown that the size of soybean hundred-grain weight identified by the marker Chr11_16321243_C_T was reliable and effective.
[0068] In summary, the soybean with the genotype CC of Chr11_16321243_C_T is a soybean with high hundred-grain weight, the soybean with the genotype TT of CHR11_16321243_C_T is a soybean with low hundred-grain weight, and the hundred-grain weight of the soybean with the genotype CC of Chr11_16321243_C_T is higher than that of the soybean with the genotype TT of CHR11_16321243_C_T. When selecting the superior varieties of soybean hundred-grain weight, the soybean with the genotype CC of Chr11_16321243_C_T is selected for breeding and improvement.
