[0042] Example 1: Discovery of SNP site specific to soybean oil content

[0043] The soybean materials in the present embodiment are derived from the following: in 2006, the cultivated soybean Jidou 12 in the laboratory was used as the female parent, and the wild soybean ZYD02738 was used as the male parent to perform hybridization and establish a RIL population. 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 combined with Jidou 12 and ZYD02738 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 was obtained, and 55 strains of the 14020 population were numbered. In December 2018, the leaves of the BC2F4:5 strains were taken in Sanya, and the DNA was extracted by Baimaik company, and the genotype of each strain was identified, and the genetic map was constructed.

[0044] In combination with the phenotype data, QTL positioning was performed on the soybean oil content, and the QTL site qOil-14020-05 related to the soybean oil content was positioned on chromosome 5 of soybean, the LOD value was 7.29, and the explained phenotypic variation was 45.70%. The marker associated with the QTL was CHr05_41859817_T_G. The SNP was taken as the reference genome of the soybean Williams82 (Wm82.a2.v1) genome sequence, the 41859817th SNP on the soybean chromosome 5, and the nucleotide type was T or G, which was the 20th nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0046]

[0047] The genotype of each family in the population corresponding to the soybean SNP marker CHr05_41859817_T_G is divided into three types, namely TT, GG and T / G, wherein the genotype TT is the homozygous type of T, the genotype AA is the homozygous type of A, and the genotype TA is the heterozygous type of T and G. The oil content phenotype value and the genotype identification results of CHr05_41859817_T_G of the 55 strain soybean materials in the present embodiment are as follows: Figure 2As shown in Table 2, the average oil content of the TT genotype and GG genotype families was 19.70% and 18.53%, respectively, and the average oil content of the TT genotype family was significantly higher than that of the GG genotype family by 6.30% (P<0.001).

[0049]

[0050]

[0051] In practical application, the genotype of soybean can be detected according to the following method. The KASP marker is designed for the specific CHr05_41859817_T_G site on chromosome 5, and the primers are designed as follows:

[0052] 14020-05-FAM: gaaggtgaccaagttcatgctAAAAAAGTTTCTTTTGTGCT (SEQ ID NO: 2);

[0053] 14020-05-VIC: gaaggtcggagtcaacggattAAAAAAGTTTCTTTTGTGCG (SEQ ID NO: 3);

[0054] 14020-05-R: CTAAGGAGACTCATGGTGGC (SEQ ID NO: 4);

[0055] The KASPAssay Mix enzyme 5 μL is selected for amplification: 1.2 μL of 14020-05-FAM, 1.2 μL of 14020-05-VIC, 3 μL of 14020-05-R, and 4.6 μL of ddH2O. The reaction system is shown in Table 3. The reaction program is 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.

[0057]

[0058] The 40 breeding varieties were subjected to gene identification by using the marker CHr05_41859817_T_G, and the KASP marker detection showed that among the 40 breeding varieties, 27 germplasms were of TT genotype, and 8 germplasms were of GG genotype, and the genotype results are shown in Table 4 andFigure 3 As shown,

[0062] Note: NA indicates missing data of oil content or genotype

[0063] Table 5 Statistical analysis of the relationship between CHr05_41859817_T_G allelic variation types and oil content

[0064]

[0065] The average oil content of TT genotype and GG genotype families was 21.44% and 19.67%, respectively, and the average oil content of TT genotype family was significantly higher than that of GG genotype family by 9.00% (P<0.01). It is proved that the identification of soybean oil content by marker CHr05_41859817_T_G is reliable and effective.

[0066] In summary, soybean with genotype TT of CHr05_41859817_T_G is high oil content soybean, and soybean with genotype GG of CHr05_41859817_T_G is low oil content soybean. The oil content of soybean with genotype TT of CHr05_41859817_T_G is higher than that of soybean with genotype GG of CHr05_41859817_T_G. When selecting superior varieties of soybean oil content, soybean with genotype TT of CHr05_41859817_T_G should be selected for breeding and improvement.
